I would love to ask a follow up question of application on the subject of Evangelism that Dilan shared earlier.
Why do you think that many in the Church today don’t share their faith with others? What can be done to help the situation?
Thank you for the question sir.
I think some reasons why Christians don’t share thier faith to others is
1) Ignorance. There are many Christians who down deep inside, they wants to share thier faith but they honestly don’t know what to say. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance. That Christ died for our sins according to scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to scriptures. Many people haven’t believe and this message of first importance and take it as a priority and it keeps them back from sharing thier faith.
2). Lack of training also keep us from sharing our faith. We should be able to show others how to talk spiritual matters and truth.
Therefore churches should recognize the importance of preparing Christians to share thier faith. This means equipping them through training and teaching.
3) our own character also keep us from sharing our faith. Our character as Christians must proof what we tell the world about Jesus Christ. So we should study and put God’s word in practice .
4) fear also keep us from sharing the gospel. That’s fear of what people will say and how people will react ..
This is good! We must then teach and train people to share their faith. But also teach the Biblical requirements of a life of integrity so that Christians can have both the spiritual and moral authority to preach Christ without fear. Awesome response!
I also like your reference of 1 Corinthians 15. It summarizes the content of the gospel message.
