For those looking for opportunities to share the love of Jesus in meaningful ways, we must remember that the best evangelists aren’t the ones who are the most articulate; but those who ask the best questions.
As we have trained thousands to engage with lost and hurting people online (through JesusCares.com) there are three questions we have discovered that segue nicely into Gospel conversations.
Most don’t believe they are lovable. They believe they have disappointed God and believe He doesn’t want anything to do with Him.
This question gives you you the opportunity to share truth/hope. “God loves you deeply and wants great things for you. You were fearfully and wonderfully made. You are the crown of His creation. He loves you so much that He made a way so He can be close to you.”
Most people don’t have any foundation or beliefs that brings them peace.
Most non-Christians either have nothing or they rely on something temporary. Once they voice that it gives opportunity to follow with, “Can I tell you where my peace and hope comes from? Because I have a relationship with Jesus, I am never alone. He has good plans for me and He always sees me through. This relationship is what I lean on when things are difficult.”
The majority of people long to be close to God, but they don’t know how. Most will either say they have no clue, or they will share a superficial answer that is not rooted in truth.
“I know you want to be close to God, and the amazing thing is He wants to be close to you. He wants you to hear His whispers and feel His presence, but there is a gap, and unless you deal with it you won’t ever be as close as you want to be. Can I share with you what causes that divide and the only way to ever overcome it?”
The best evangelists are those who are engaged and interested. Those who ask great questions and listen well. We have had great success with these questions and pray that they will lead to some great Gospel conversations for you as well.
