What if they think I'm weird
As we all are going back to school, some of you next week some of you this week, like me, we will be faced with the challenge of talking to our non-believing friends about Jesus Christ. Last year, when I was not a Christian, I didn't even mention God to my friends at all. I didn't talk to them about Jesus Christ because I was afraid that they would think I was weird or some Jesus freak. I still wanted to be friends with them so I didn't talk to them at all about God.
We are worried more about what they will think and say about us rather than worrying about where that person will be when he or she dies. If you don't ask God to give you the wisdom and the courage to talk to your friends you will never be able to do it. You can't do to it by yourself.
Matthew 19:26 With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
When you finally talk to your friends you don't have to give them a sermon. Just tell them mainly that Jesus Christ came down to earth 2000 years ago as a man. He preached the gospel to many people. Then He died on the cross for every one's sins. He rose from the dead proving that he was The Son of God and ascended to heaven. They will ask many questions and trying to prove the Bible wrong. If they don't leave when you are speaking to them give them a few simple verses like John 3:16. If they don't do anything you talked about there is nothing you can do. It is all up to God.
If they are interested in what you are saying to them you may go a little deeper. They need to know that God loves them but they also need to know that God is a jealous and avenging God. Tell them that being a Christian is not going to be easy. At many times it will be challenging and you may want to give up. But when your feeling that way, just remember that God will always be with you and never forsake you. And also keep your mind on the end prize. Eternal life with Jesus Christ.
Sometime later if your friend becomes a follower of Jesus Christ you will probably look back on it and say I am so glad I asked God to give me the wisdom and the courage to to talk to my friend about Jesus Christ.
Their life will be literally changed forever!!!!
