Have you ever discussed your faith with an unbeliever? A point I have recently been made aware of in a new light is that when we share our beliefs, we shouldn't do so from a Christian standpoint. Those who are struggling in life don't need Christianity, they don't need to come to our side in order to make things right--they need Jesus. When we share our faith, we should be sharing Jesus, because Jesus didn't come to earth to spread his religion, he came sharing the gospel and the grace and love of his Father in a way that no one had considered before. Moreover, when we share Jesus, let us not tell his story as we might read about him in a book, we should introduce him as a friend, savior and king. Jesus does not need to be defended--he can stand up for himself in the absence of debate--and people do not need to know about him, they need to know him.
We should always strive to be seen as friend's of the King before we come across as Christians.
"Jesus didn’t come to start a religion. Men started calling those who
followed Christ as Christians, but in our modern era, Christianity is
thought of as a religion more than it is a lifestyle of following Jesus." ~Grace Living
