Let's Examine the Scriptures Every Day 2022
Saturday June 4, 2022
I do all things for the good news, to share it with others (1 Cor. 9:23).
What topics could we talk about with a religious person? Let's try to find common ground. Perhaps she worships one God, she acknowledges that Jesus is the Savior of mankind, or she believes that the evil we see today will soon end. Let's use the beliefs we have in common to present the message of the Bible in an attractive way. Keep in mind that the person may not believe everything his religion teaches. So once we know what religion she belongs to, let's try to find out what she believes. A missionary explains that some who claim to believe in the Trinity do not really believe that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one God. And he adds: “Knowing this makes it much easier for you to find common ground with the person.” So let's try to find out what people really believe. So, like the apostle Paul, we will become “everything with people of all kinds” (1 Cor. 9:19-22). w20.04 10 paras. 9, 10.
Why will our preaching improve if we see people as Jesus saw them?
And we? How do we see the people to whom we bring the good news? Do we think that they are like the grain that is ready for harvest? In that case, three things will happen. First, we will preach with a greater sense of urgency. As the harvest season is of limited duration, there is no time to lose. Second, we will be happy to participate wholeheartedly in this work. The Bible says, “The people rejoice at harvest time” (Isa. 9:3). And, third, we will see each person as a future disciple, so we will adapt our presentation to the topic that interests you.
What will we learn from the apostle Paul in this article?
Jesus did not think the Samaritans were hopeless, as his followers might have thought. Rather, he saw them as future disciples. This is how we should see the people of our territory. The apostle Paul set an excellent example for us in this regard. In this article, we will discuss three things we can learn from him. First, that he knew a little about the beliefs of those who listened to him. Second, that he understood what they were interested in. And, third, that he saw them as future disciples of Jesus.
