Those with no faith:

Throughout our journeys as believers we meet nonbelievers every day.  As followers of Christ we are to treat them with the love and kindness of Christ, knowing they too were formed in the very image of God. And, knowing that they may be in a place where our Christian faith may be more than they want to hear, we pray and we live our lives so that others may see that there is something different in those who follow Christ. Can you imagine being lost without hope during these days?

As Christians we must not be afraid to open our mouths and share the gospel. People will not know about Christ just by how we live our lives. It is important that we proclaim the good news. I know sometimes we don’t know how to start or we become concerned with whether or not the person listens or starts to dislike me. 

We need to be God’s workers on earth and help bring people to the truth. We are sent out into the world to proclaim the good news and tell our friends and neighbors of this saving grace. A grace that gives us purpose, saves us, and gives us true hope. Don’t be shy. Sometimes God tells us to go tell that friend, co-worker, classmate, etc. about my son and we think 'I don’t know how'. Do not fear, God is already there and he will help you. The hardest part is getting the first word out, but once you do it will be easy.

What does the Bible say?

Pray for the seekers, for those who feel lost and afraid. For those who have been hurt by “the church” or “followers of Christ” who harm people with false truths. Pray that we may be the true light and true followers of Jesus so that they may see the everlasting hope that we find in Jesus Christ. 

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."

Mark 16:15-16
 

And I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.

Philemon 1:6 ESV
