The time is now to share your faith

There is coming a time in the very near future where citizens of this great country are going to feel completely helpless and useless, and anxiety and stress are going to consume them. We are on the verge of complete societal collapse, economically, politically and mentally. What is happening in this country on a daily basis is unprecedented, unexplainable and undeniably anti-American.

The overall truth is the Bible gives the answers to all these challenges we face, however, the average individual is so far removed from believing the scripture it is difficult for them to even open the book. How should we share our faith with those who do not share our belief. The Bible is very clear on how we share our faith with others, let's look into what is written;

Acts 8:35
"Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him"
We must be able to clearly give out the simple facts of the gospel without becoming bogged down with the profound theological concepts. We must avoid arguments and stick to the basic issues of man's sin and Christs blood. Often unbelievers will attempt to sidestep the gospel by asking unrelated questions, we must maintain focus on the BLOOD of Christ, which was shed by Him for His lost.

Acts 17:2
Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ."

Acts 18:28
for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

2nd Timothy 2:15
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

We must use the Word of God. Paul's tremendous success as and evangelist can be linked directly to his constant use of God's word. We must also share our faith, constantly:

Hebrews 3:15
while it is said; "Today, if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

Hebrews 4:7
again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today, if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts."

Our time is short, very short and we must not assume there will be a time tomorrow to share our faith, we must openly ensure individuals hear the salvation message of Jesus love for us, the fact (historically n biblical) is He shed His blood for us on the Cross so that we should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God Bless the repenter!!
