Again, how do these things communicate to a sinner the fact that he is a sinner and faces God’s wrath on judgement day? How do they communicate to them their need for a Savior, that Christ is that Savior, or how the Gospel says that we are to come to Christ?What I said remains. They fulfill the definition of “evangelism” by aiding in the journey of others to Christ. Very simple. If someone praises me as a good person, that’s nice; it is far better if something I do makes him realize I believe that Christ is God, and then himself seeks the same path. I made this thread to see what things people on this forum do that clue others into their belief. There is really no need for this argument you are presenting; can you please leave this thread alone if you don’t have anything to contribute?
There is no other way! Either they respond to the Gospel or they don’t.Since you are so experienced at proclaiming the Gospel, I am sure that you recognize that certain people are ready to hear the Gospel and others are not. Yet by ministering to them in other ways, one “prepares the field” as it were.
But if you’re really compassionate, then why are you so willing to stand by while they go to Hell?By ministering to others in loving ways, on the street, in the market, wherever we meet them with a smile, a God bless, a, “how can I help you” attitude we create a bond of trust and understnading. We show these people that our faith is one of compassion, understanding and forgiveness. All before this person is even ready to “hear the Gospel”.
They’re already in a crisis! What in the world could be more of a crisis than staring down the barrel of an eternity in Hell?Then, when the time is right; when the person has reached a crisis; then the person is looking for something to grab onto,
But it isn’t about you and they’re not going to be saved by you being such a swell guy.they will think of their good friend, who never prejudged them; who never treated them in any way but kindly; who always seems to be confident and comfortable with life no matter what goes wrong.
Not if they won’t follow Christ’s command to present the Gospel.That person who, through his or her daily display of loving Christianity, “does to the least of my brothers” can instill more love for God than all the “you gotta git saved” preaching there ever was.
They don’t; just as the movement of your feet as you walk towards the sinner in your attempt to preach to him doesn’t have anything directly to do with it either. It is a part of the attempt; it aids in its successful completion.Again, how do these things communicate to a sinner the fact that he is a sinner and faces God’s wrath on judgement day? How do they communicate to them their need for a Savior, that Christ is that Savior, or how the Gospel says that we are to come to Christ?
