The Bible urges Christians to live out the Gospel by our actions and words. So how do we communicate effectively with those who do not know Christ? Teaching on acting wisely and seizing every opportunity with those outside the faith, Alistair Begg explains how to answer questions appropriately, how to be gracious without being cliché, and why love must reach across racial and cultural boundaries.
2cContinue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it dwith thanksgiving. 3At the same time, pray also for us, that God may eopen to us a door for the word, fto declare the mystery of Christ, gon account of which I am in prison— 4that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.
5hWalk in wisdom toward ioutsiders, making the best use of the time. 6Let your speech always jbe gracious, kseasoned with salt, lso that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
