The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2:14 that the natural man does not understand spiritual things and it goes on to say that not only does he not understand them, but to him they are foolishness because they are discerned spiritually. This tells us that someone who is not born again does not have the capability of understanding the deep spiritual things of God.

So with this being established as a biblical truth, how then do we bring lost people who do not know Jesus to a place where they desire to become a born-again Christian? Here’s the answer.

As a Christian, your best witnessing tool is your ability to walk in the fruit of the Spirit. Every Christian receives the fruit of the Spirit inside of them when they receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. At the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit moves within your spirit to live and brings with Him all of the fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

If you will live your life walking in love, joy, peace, kindness, and self-control, others will be attracted to you and to what you have. They will be drawn to you and desire what you have that has created this lifestyle. Jesus put it this way. He said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). If you will live your life walking in the fruit of the Spirit, the light of the gospel will shine from you and the Father and His Word will be illuminated. As you are led by the Holy Spirit, you will know when the time is right to ask the question, “Would you like to become a Christian?”

Go forth and let your light shine!
