You're not Christian! Part 2

I just had a great realization: Jesus never led a person through a prayer to accept him as the savior. In fact, the only prayer he specifically led was the Lord’s Prayer (the prayer the Lord would want), and it didn’t mention people accepting him.

How odd.

Not that it’s wrong. We’ve already discussed all that. The real question is where does Agape fit? This is, after all, a page about Liquid Agape.

Here’s the point: you can lead a person to Christ in more than one way.

Prayer.

Actions.

Teaching.

Loving.

Growing.

Planting.

Watering.

They all work. You don’t have to help a person pray to introduce them to Christ. You can do it while YOU speak to THEM. We have Christ inside of us.

Crushes happen in high school (and in life in general). What if your friend had a crush on a certain person? If you found out that person crushed them back, would you share the news with your friend? Of course!

Because you love them and want the best for them.

It’s the same with Christ. Everyone around us who doesn’t know him is searching for him. Somewhere inside of them they have this longing for…someone. And it’s Christ. Would it be loving to hold Christ from them if you knew he was what they were looking for? I don’t think so.

There are many ways to lead a person to Christ. Mine is acting, teaching, loving. Others may be praying. I don’t know. What I do know is that any act is an act of love. I refuse to accept the lie that if I don’t lead someone through a prayer, I’m not Christian. That’s unloving, and definitely not Agape.

The question is this: how do YOU submit to people around you? Prayer? Actions? Teaching?

Or, rather, are you submitting at all?

Think on it, okay?
