How would you convince people from other religions or non religions to become a Christian?

[john smith]

We as Christians have a very important job to go out and tell others about our faith and that it is the only worthy faith, but how am I suppose to convince others apart from just being a good example?

How do you figure you have to convince others that your faith is the only worthy faith?

How we live and enthuisasticly talk about church and Christianity has a big impact.

But we don't make people become Christian, our job is two fold,

To show that by our lifestyle/conversation that Christianity is relevent and to introduce them to Jesus.

Being a godly example is very important. Many who are not Christian often complain that Christians are hypocrites and that may be the case sometimes.

Pray for those who are not saved.

If the opportunity comes about tell people who Jesus Christ is and that He loves them.

Do you mean saving faith ?   Whoever believes and is immersed will be saved -

believing the foolishness of the GOSPEL OF JESUS ,   and being immersed,  thus saves.

Anything else,  considered worthy or not,  cannot save.

Hi, First I suggest that being a good example  will not do it. The unsaved world hates Jesus and so it hates his own his bond-servants. The behavior of a saint in Christ is foreign to a non believer and nothing  one will want to emulate.

Ask the unsaved, "Don't you want to be just like me?"

And the world will say,"Nope!"

 Instead of thinking I can just be a good example and all will want to be Christian, start with prayer to God the Holy Spirit, asking, how may I be used by You today? Is there someone I may talk to about the saving faith of my Lord and personal savior Jesus, and how  by His doing alone  many are guaranteed to have eternal life with Him.

Then seek out the opportunity as led and  when led by the Holy Spirit. Might just ask of most anyone you meet and have opportunity to talk; I have prayed that there might be someone to talk to  today about eternity, life after death, and the awesome blessing  of Jesus. I wonder if that might be you. Have you had the experience of realizing Jesus is Lord and the provider of eternal life?

Now I know not everyone is equipped with identical personalities and many  will have to  be led by  The Spirit into some other approach. The  main thing is the power of personal attributes are not going to impress anyone into a life changing experience where they are turned about  to God. Being a good person is not really all that impressive, for most individuals are taught that all are supposed to be good individuals. and most people rate themselves as already good and rate that on a curve  of comparison with others. All of which has nothing to do with the gospel of Jesus.

Tell the gospel. It is the Holy Spirit that will turn another person about  to actually hearing with understanding.

Good reply, simplejeff. I maintain that whilst we are to present the Gospel and live as ambassadors for Christ as best we can, it is the Word of God itself that convinces, firstly of the sinner's need for Christ,  and secondly that the sinner is freed in Christ. This is the simple way I share my faith if opportunity arises awhile I go about my business looking unto the Lord for wisdom and strength..
