« We love Him because He first loved us »
15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,
16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?
Everybody responds to love.
If you want to talk to anyone about accepting the one who is love Himself, then you should at least show some love to the fellow first and foremost.
An evangelist must be full of smiles at all times.
The person you are going to talk to may be going through a hard situation and your smile may just brighten his/her day.
You should always ask yourself when going on evangelism “What does this person need?” If the need is taken out of the way, then he/she can listen to you.
You can’t be talking about Christ to someone who is hungry and expect him to listen, but if you came with food, then they would.
A woman with a crying baby is more likely to listen to you if you help calm the baby first.
1 John 4:16 NLT says:
« We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them »
There is nothing too big for you to do if you want to win a soul to Christ.
If you meet the fellow washing clothes or their car, join them.
Don’t feel too big to do it.
When you show humility, they see Christ in you and can easily believe your message.
God throws a party in heaven when one single soul is won to Christ.
What could be too hard for you to do to make your Father that happy?
If the people you’re sharing the gospel with perceive you as someone who cares about them, they would see God like that too.
If on the other hand, they see you as someone who only cares about himself and does not seem to be behaving like the loving God they have always heard of, they will push your message aside.
Now, I know that some people will try to take your love for granted.
If you cannot find a polite way to stop them from doing that, then allow them.
If your message does not convert them, at least they will never forget your Christ-like character.
Key point: Nobody can resist a show of love. That is the way to get potential converts to listen to you.
