You probably have a friend or two who isn't saved. Matthew 16:15 says [He said to them: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."] so you know that you're supposed to minister to them, but how? Here are 3 ways you can minister to your non-Christian friends.
1. Walk The Talk The best way to witness to someone is to live it out. If you're living the life of a Christian, your friends will get curious as to why you're not following the crowd in doing certain things, or why you have love, joy, peace, and the rest of the fruits of the Spirit. When they ask you about it, explain to them what Christ did for them and what a Christian is. 2. Tell Your Story Another way to witness to someone is by sharing your own story of salvation. They will probably be more open to listening to you if you start out by explaining what Jesus did for you and how He changed you. This is a very effective way to minister especially if the person knew you before you were saved. They'll more than likely be wondering why you aren't the same as you used to be or why you don't the same things you used to do. 3. Talk With Them This is probably the most common way people witness to other people. Invite your friend to coffee or somewhere else where you can sit and talk for awhile. It might be best to start with your story like we talked about above. If you don't want to start with your story, or if you're like me and grew up in a Christian family and didn't really have a past before you were saved, you can start by explaining about how sin entered into the world because of Adam and Eve, then move on to how we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, then explain what Jesus did on the cross and how we can now be forgiven for our sins and go to heaven when we die. I'll include a few scriptures that you can use when ministering to your friends. Genesis 3:1-24 John 14:6 John 11:25-26 Romans 3:23 Isaiah 59:2 Romans 6:23 Ephesians 2:8-9 John 3:16 Acts 16:31 John 3:36
