Why are we Christians if not to share our faith with anyone and everyone who will listen. Now don’t get me wrong. I don’t think it is very effective, nor do I go up to complete or semi-strangers and just start telling them about Jesus. However, if someone asks me why I think a certain way or don’t do certain things, that is my opportunity to be a witness. When I was younger I did not care ONE BIT about what someone thought, how they were raised, what they believed, I just felt I have to tell them about what I believe. That was so immature. But now I know that sharing my faith with others is an earned privilege.
I want to be able to do this instinctively. I believe sharing your faith should be more about telling of how your faith has affected you and not trying to get someone to “convert”. I believe that is what Jesus told us to do. The Holy Spirit will draw and convert.
