With gentleness and Respect.
The apostle Peter states,
“But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.” 1 Peter 3:15,16.
Christians, believers in Christ Jesus, are called to be respectful of everyone. Especially when we interact with those outside our faith. We are to treat them with gentleness and respect. Whether others treat we Christians with respect or not we are to respect them.
Our obligation as Christians is to present the gospel of Christ in a respectful manner to others. We are not to force our faith on anyone. We are to simple present what we believe giving the person the opportunity to accept what we say or reject it.
Please think about it.
