Finding a soul,

Lead the conversation to Jesus (we have found the Messiah)

In the disciples were instructed to witness.

Acts 1:8 ESV

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

We too are to be salt and light,

Your friend’s soul is at stake in a spiritual courtroom. Satan is the prosecutor (don’t believe Jesus). The Holy Spirit is the defence attorney (believe Jesus). You are a witness either for or against Jesus in your friend’s heart.

It is impossible to argue with what Jesus has done in your life. Explain in detail. Be that witness. Don’t be silent.

Matthew 5:13–16 ESV

13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Bring soul to Jesus,

John 1:42 ESV

42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter).
