Differences and Similarities: Faith

How can two people of different religious faiths meet in the middle? How can you as a Christian talk to a nonChristian about your faith in Jesus Christ?

It really isn�t as complicated as we make it. In fact, key differences can actually serve as meeting points for you and the person with whom you wish to share the Gospel. One such difference is the issue of FAITH.

Ask your friend quite simply, “Where do you put your faith when things get hard?” Listen – really listen! – to his response. Step into his shoes. See things from his perspective.

He may say he trusts in SOMEONE to make things right. Maybe Buddha. Maybe himself. Or maybe he has faith in HISTORY – that all things “just work out.” Perhaps he has NO FAITH in anything right now. Just listen to his response.

Without judging, then share how Jesus Christ has made all the difference in your life. Explain that your faith in Jesus is not blind. The Bible says, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”

Explain how Jesus has come through for you in tangible ways. If your friend questions you, your faith cannot be disproved. Your faith is real and valid. Share it today.
