Do we have the right Attitude when we Witness?
Galatians 5:22-23 says But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. We must display the Fruits of the Spirit in the ways we witness. We must be positive and friendly. Luke 6:35 says But love your enemies, do good to them and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. The person you talk with will be more positive to you if you treat them kindly. Let them see that you want to talk with him/her because you love their soul and desire their salvation.
We must speak the truth. The Holy Spirit will work in you to convict them of sin and lead them to righteousness. We must be gentle and respectful. 1 Peter 3:15 says But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
If you have the right attitude, you will never turn anyone off. You will draw them to God, not drive them away.
