We address this evening the third part of the answer to the question "how to talk about our faith to our friends?".
I remind you of the 4 pieces of the answer:
1. Not shy!
2. Not politicians!
3. No saviors!
4. Not the foot!
2 months ago, we saw that, yes, we should talk about our faith to our friends. Last month, we saw that we were not beings manipulators who distort the truth, but we had to have real relationships with our friends.
Today we'll look at the success rate.
fashion in the media is talking about the traders' bonuses. You did well, and you hit the jackpot las stock options, made you bad results, you can not repay the credit in your villa in St. Tropez.
So if we have bad results, so when we speak of God around us, people do not believe ... What should the success rate be a good Christian? 90%? 10%? God will reject us there?
We continue our reading of 2 Corinthians 4 where Paul says "Indeed, God has ordained that the light shine out of darkness also made his light shine in our heart to make light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the person of [Jesus] Christ. We have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing power is from God, not us. ".
It is God who came to us, he has transformed us. We're not the saviors! We are but earthen vessels. If you want to translate into words today we transport the glory of God in IKEA vases. As
is God who saves is also God who bears the responsibility for which he saves and he does not save. There is no question of success rate on our part. Our
taff us is to talk to our friends, and pray for them. The rest is the taff of God. There are no bonuses for those who have passed their conversion goals, since there are no goals! We are not the saviors!
There is therefore no guilt at having so we talk about God to our friends and there are no entries ... and this is one more reason to not be afraid to do.
