Frequently Asked Questions
What if my family members are resistant to the Gospel? Won't they be offended if I share it with them?+
Rejoice that the Gospel is a rock that offends some people, but saves others (Matthew 11:6). Ask God to prepare their hearts for the good news, and pray for wisdom to share it in a way that's both sensitive and compelling (Ephesians 5:15-16).
How can I effectively share the Gospel with my non-believing family members when I struggle with doubts and uncertainties myself?+
Your doubts and fears are a normal part of the Christian journey. However, it's essential to be honest about your faith and where you're at, while still sharing the good news boldly. Ask God to guide you through His Word and Spirit (Psalm 119:133).
What if my family members reject the Gospel outright, and I feel like a failure in my responsibility to share it with them?+
Don't take it personally or feel discouraged. Remember that you're an messenger, not a judge. Trust that God's Word will accomplish what He desires, even if it's not through you (Isaiah 55:11). Continue to pray for their salvation and rejoice in the harvest you've contributed to (2 Corinthians 9:6-7).
