Respectfully
The apostle Peter writes,
"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 behaviour in Christ may be ashamed of their slander." 1 Peter 3:15,16.
This I believe is important advice for all who claim to be followers of Christ Jesus. We are to be prepared at all times to tell anyone who asks why we believe in our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus.
Peter also makes it clear we are to do this “with gentleness and respect”.
We must never be aggressive when presenting the Gospel massage. We should always respect the listener.
I have always believed that we should say to a person “this is what I believe. It’s your decision whether or not you believe it."
How do you present the gospel message?
Do you present the gospel message in a way that is respectful to the one listening to you?
Please think about it.
