The realness of God is what makes people different. Introduce God as a person, not a religion. Be Holy Spirit filled and bring all life’s areas into His presence and care.
The turning point is the realization that He is alive and we are filled with the Holy Spirit and surrounded in His Presence. This truth gives us a glorious awareness of God.
Religion is quite capable of trying to get somebody else out of your way in order to get what you want. That’s religion, by itself, aided by fallen human nature.
Don’t take it personally if someone hates you because you’re a Christian. Hearts that turn away from God react this way. Say yes to God’s will and be sure that when the truth of God comes to you that you don’t quench it. Everyone makes mistakes and you will always remember them. But repent to God and things will be made anew.
