INFORMATIVE ARTICLE: How to Start a Spiritual Conversation
All relationships take time to develop, and a relationship with Christ is no different. Talking to people about spiritual matters does not have to be awkward or uncomfortable. An easy way to start a spiritual conversation with co-workers, friends and family is to use the acronym, FIRM.
Family. Find common ground. Where did you grow up? How long have you lived here? Where are you from? Tell me about your family? Do you have children? How many children do you have?
Interests. Ask about what interests them. Is it sports, schools, hobbies, or work? What do they do for a living?
Religion. The world is very spiritual. Ask questions like, if they have a church in town they attend. What their religious background is. If they think about spiritual things very often. Then, just listen.
Message. Ask them if they are a Christian.
- If they say yes, ask them if they know Jesus personally.
- If they say no, say, “May I share with you how you can come to know Jesus personally?”
- If they say no, say, “Why don’t you want to know Christ?”
- If the say they are still in the process,etc., ask them, “May I share with you how you can come to know Him personally?”
- If they decide to accept Jesus, make sure they understand the gospel. Salvation is about believing Jesus was God, born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, died for our sins, and rose from the dead. Lead them through the following steps:
- Admit you are a sinner. “There is no one righteous, not even one, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23).
- Ask God to forgive you. “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).
- Believe in Jesus. Put your trust in Him as your only hope of salvation. “For…

People Often Ask These Questions:
- How do I fulfil my destiny? Our destiny is bound up in our response to the Gospel. “Are you saved or lost?” That is the question above all questions. The declaration of the Gospel is “Jesus saves.” He saves from wrath, judgment, hell, bondage, the devil, and darkness. He saves us from dying in our sins. …People insure their houses and yet do not insure their eternal future. Yet we know that salvation offers so much more. Who else offers such insurance but Jesus?
- Why does God allow suffering? You could just as well ask the National Secretary of Transportation why he allows accidents on the highways. No doubt he would take exception to your accusation and point to the rules of the road. “Every time a law is broken, an accident and suffering might occur,” he would reply. People suffer chiefly for one reason—they are ignoring God’s rulebook, the Bible, and everything goes wrong. Our Creator knows exactly how He has made us and what will harm us. Consequently, out of a caring, protective heart, He says, “You shall not … ” The “you shall nots” are not edicts designed to spoil our fun, but rather they are the manufacturer’s handling instructions. God wisely knows that our psyche is unable to handle sin. Actually, it is crushed and tormented by misdeeds. It is always wise to read the instruction manual before using a new appliance. People worry about breaking a new DVD player or a new computer, but strangely, they have no worries about destroying their own spirits and souls with the poison of sin.
