All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
Find A Common Ground To Share
God wants to use every one of us as communicators of the good news of his love in Jesus Christ. This means, of course, that we have a story to tell. But people will not be open to hear this story unless we have a genuine relationship with them. Like Paul, we are called to find common ground with people, to share life with them so that we might share the Gospel with them.
When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. [1 Corinthians 9:22]
The true and effective sharer or councilor is not the one who knows what's best in the other person, but the one who feels the heart of the person in the moment of depression or down cast and low in the spirit.As Christians, we are called to consider, not just what’s good for us, but also what’s good for others. Out of love we may choose not to do certain things that are permitted to us. Our freedom in Christ is not only for our own self-expression, but also so that we might serve those around us with sacrificial, Christ-like love
Paul made every effort to connect with those he was trying to reach with the Gospel. He sought to speak in a way they understood, to live in a way that demonstrated his solidarity with them.
