Evangelizing a Profane World

As a believer, one of my biggest struggle in life is the difficulty of influencing the nonbelievers around me. I know with a hundred percent assurance that I can not do things on my own without Christ's presence in my life. While I was reading the passage 1 Peter 3:1, it says "But make sure in your hearts that Christ is Lord. Always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks you about the hope you have. Be ready to give the reason for it. But do it gently and with respect," it made it clearer to me that I have to recognize Jesus as my Lord and that I have to set my faith in Christ as a believer so that when I have to face the secular world, I have a stronger foundation. Most of us Christian believers are so uptight with our own beliefs that when we are surrounded by non-believers, we feel intimated. When we hear them spitting unpleasant words, our faces switch from eating a sweet honey to a bitter lemon. Yes, it affects us to a point where we should be concern about them. It is not for us to take them in our hands, like a clay, and mold them into a figure that we want them to be. Our role as Christians is to water them in order for them to be soft so God can mold them into a refined-new believer.

Our generation is moving towards profanity, and that is just reality. I have to admit myself to that fact that no matter how much I try to insist my own Christian understanding to the world, it will never be heard unless I bring it to God. I pity the unbeliever. They need help. For us Christians, it is sad that we have our own world. A world where it is not as bad as the secular world. Little that we know that if we are sitting in our own comfort zone, we are more than sinning simply because we do not care about the people who mostly need our help. Faith without work is dead, as well all know.

So, to my brothers and sisters in Christ, I pray that we should give it a try to be around people who has not heard of the gospel. You never know how much it will bless you when you help God change lives one person at a time.

In Christ,
