Some Key Witnessing Questions To Help You Earnestly Contend For The Faith

When a Christian goes out into the world to share their faith, it is helpful to be ready with some thought-provoking questions to start up a meaningful conversation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You don’t need to ask any of the specific questions below but you should ask questions that will prompt the person you are speaking to, to think about what they believe, why they believe it, and how this relates to what the Bible says about such things. If you ask questions that will encourage the person to tell you where they are coming from spiritually, then you can best do your job of showing them what God would have them know about Himself, His laws and His plan of salvation.

A. Do you have a church home? … Where might that be? … What do they teach there about how to get to heaven?

C. How do you know if what you believe is true? (share Proverbs 14:12, Matthew 7:13-14)

D. Do you know if your religion satisfies God? Perhaps it satisfies you, but do you know for sure if it satisfies God? (share Romans 10:3)
