Reaching the Hearts of Non-Religious People - Conclusion of SHARING THE TRUTH WITH PEOPLE FROM ASIA

A brother from Asia uses the following approach when making return visits.  He says:  "I show them the examples of Bible wisdom, fulfilled Bible prophecies, and laws that control the universe. Then I show them how all of its points  to a living and wise Creator.  When a person accepts the possibility that God exists, I start showing him what the Bible says about Jehovah." 

When we conduct Bible studies with people from non-religions backgrounds, we must continually build up their belief in the existence of God.  (Read Hebrews 11:6.)  And we need to help them to build their faith the Bible.  This might require  that we repeat some points a number of times. During each study session,  we may need to discuss evidence that the Bible is God's Word.  This may include a brief discussion of the Bible's fulfilled prophecies, scientific and historical accuracy, or practical wisdom.

We help people to become disciples of Christ by displaying love for them, whether they are religious or not.  (1 Corinthians 13:1) And we need to teach them, our goal is to show that God loves us and want us to love him.  Every year thousands who previously had little or no interest in religion get baptized because they have to grown to love God. So be positive, and take a loving interest in  all sorts of people.  Listen to them. Try to understand them.  By your example, teach them to be disciples of Christ.
