Dealings With Unbelievers

Core Interrelations



CONSOLIDATION:
Apply the principles (one is to believe in Jesus) and join the family of God.

Unbelievers you grew up with may reject your new life in Christ. Leave the lifeless and go to your Savior, never looking back. Then you will be ready to serve in the kingdom of God.

Perhaps one of the best ways to overcome our harmful desires is through serving others. Jesus served us by coming to find us and save us when we had gone astray.

Love your neighbor, being careful not to offend him. Show the childlike humility that leads one into true believing and greatness.

You can do amazing things to help people when you believe.


More people are needed to tell about Jesus, people who will freely give the blessings of Christ. Disclose to people the reality of Christ that you know.

God will maintain the needs of these workers.

You will be out among some devouring, cunning unbelievers, so be shrewd and innocent.

Evil spirits and some unbelievers are enemies to the believers, seek to harm the believers sent out amongst them, but believers have power to overcome their power.

Some unbelievers may attack you when you tell them what you most highly value. Many people will hate you because of Jesus and call you evil, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

God will give you words to say to them. Then flee the scene.

Jesus is gentle, not loud and quarrelsome, and has inner harmony.

God will punish those who do not welcome or listen to you.

Do not be afraid of those that kill the body but cannot kill the soul.

If we love our unbelieving neighbors we'll ask God to heal them and He'll take action on their behalf. Better have some faith because they are going to need it.



Unbelief is against God and Hi
s goodness, and if you have it, it will come out.

Unbelief puts you in the dark with evil beings.

Unbelievers tend to cause believers to sin (do harmful things); they better take as strong a measure as possible to stop or they will be sorry.

Once you start judging, you're going to have relationship problems.
