Introducing Someone to Faith in Christ

Dale Sutherland

The Bible sees evangelism as an act of love. It is inherent in our faith that if we love others, we would want to introduce them to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is God and He has come down from heaven to pay for all of the world’s sins. No matter where I have traveled in this world, people know that they have done wrong before God.

Everyone wants forgiveness and according to what the Bible says, all of us need it. Most religions tell us that if we are good or better than we used to be, we can get God‘s favor and He will forgive our sins if we work hard enough to be better.

Jesus changed that by saying if people would just believe in Him, ask His forgiveness, and trust in Him as the Savior of the world, they could find salvation, forgiveness, and even eternal life.

If you were in sub-Sahara Africa in the 1990s, you would know that there was a horrific pandemic with HIV. Had you been one of the people that discovered a cure or a way to help them, you would’ve been considered evil and troubled to not share that secret with all of sub-Sahara Africa.

Yet somehow, when we know the good news about Jesus Christ and we know our friends don’t have to be feeling guilty or worried or concerned about eternal life, we think it is acceptable not to share. I often find myself more concerned about what people think of me than what their lives are like without Christ.

The best way to introduce someone to Christianity would be to approach with a passion as you would if you had a cure for what makes people sick. There is no need for worry, shame, or concern. The motivation is love. Love those that are lost, love those that are in need, love Christ, and find your hope in this great message.

“but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

– ROMANS 5:8

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” – ROMANS 3:23

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

– ROMANS 6:23

If any of us will simply share the truths in the Bible verses listed above, we will be able to introduce many people into new life in Christ. We know it is completely their decision, but out of love, we should want to share with others. Be excited you have the cure!
