Convince people of the truth

One of the three things that I wanted to challenge the church to do in 2009, is to share the gospel more with others. We need to take a hand full of Bible tracks with us wherever we go and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. And when the Spirit leads us, just share with them what Jesus has done in our life or just tell them to read it. We never know what God is doing in the heart and life of others, they might just be ready to get saved. Now as we go, we will be dealing with different beliefs and heart conditions, so we do need to know how to convince people of the truth. (2 Tim. 2:15) Tells us to, “Study to show ourselves approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth,” meaning that we need to study the Bible to know where in the Bible to turn and how to answer people. Do you know how to personally lead someone to Christ? Can you take the Bible and the book of Romans and show someone that they are a sinner and in need of Christ? Can you refute falsehood? Study, for there may be times when you are ashamed of yourself because you don’t know the Bible as you ought, but share your faith anyway!
