Question 13.
Because of the wrong choices I have made in my life, my friends do not see Jesus in me. I am afraid to witness to them because I do not think they will listen to me. What should I do?

Read the answers to questions 31 and 33. The same basic principles apply here.

• Have you confessed your sin to Jesus, received his forgiveness and allowed him to cleanse your life?

• Have you explained to your friends that you have not been giving them a clear picture of who Jesus really is?

• Have you seriously begun to make the changes in your life and your lifestyle to show them you mean business?

• Have you forgiven yourself for your inconsistency and the things you have done?

It will not be easy to win their respect but in time, you can prove your sincerity. A verbal witness for Christ is important, but you must back it up with how you live. Being a Christian is not something you know -- it’s a way of life.

Remember, as long as you are being obedient to the Lord, how your friends respond to the Gospel is not your responsibility.
