What's the purpose of Living?
Greetings to you all the Urantia Family!
When Jesus changes your life, it’s natural to want to share that hope with the people around you." - Brother Matte
It is our turn now to take time to get to know people and find out about their spiritual journeys and Focus more on listening to someone’s story and figuring out where that person is spiritually than on getting through a gospel presentation.
“And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it” (1 Peter 3:15, NLT).
"One way to be prepared is to learn to tell our spiritual story." Brother Matte. This can be the story of how we became a Christian or it can be the story of how God changed us in a particular area of life. Whether we’re sharing about God’s forgiveness and love through our personal story or by just want to share the foundational message of the Bible, be ready to tell someone how to become a Christian.
"Building bridges over someone’s obstacles and objections takes love, wisdom and prayer. Remember that there may be more to a question than what’s on the surface." Brother Matte
Someone may say, “I can’t believe in God because there is too much suffering in the world.” You can present the best rational argument about the reason for suffering, but it won’t make a difference if that person’s true obstacle is that a loved one died a violent death.
People need to know that believing in God doesn’t require them to abandon their intellect, but they also need to know that God loves them and cares about their personal struggles.
It’s exciting to see people put their faith in Jesus, but that isn’t the end of the journey. In fact, it’s just the beginning of the exciting adventure of the Christian life. When people decide to follow Jesus, they need other Christians to continue to come alongside them so they can learn more about their new faith and how to grow closer to God.
