Exploring Outside
Spiritual outsiders are those who have not entered into salvation through Jesus, the true “gate” to life (John 10:9). Some outsiders are spiritually near. Others will be far away. Some may be religious. Others are irreligious. Some live good lifestyles. Others bad. But all who haven’t entered through Christ are outsiders.
Paul instructs us to be wise making the most of every opportunity with outsiders. Though each situation is different we begin by starting where they are which requires us to explore.
To make the most of a situation, use questions to discern if a person is open to talk and to discover insights into their spiritual journey. With wisdom and genuine care, you will likely get to know the person better, deepen the relationship and have an opportunity to talk about Jesus.
Thought: The best way to discover where a person is spiritually is to ask.
Take a Step: Brainstorm a list of outsiders you know or could get to know. List individuals by name and include groups, such as classmates, coworkers, neighbors, etc. Look over the list. How well do you know the spiritual journey of your acquaintances? Explore as many as possible this month.

Helping another person come to Christ is one of our greatest privileges as a believer. Yet it can also be intimidating for many of us. The Bible provides insights and encouragement to equip and engage us in the process. Three important truths lay the foundation: Everyone is on a spiritual journey, God is already at work, and he wants to use you. Join us for this 28-day journey together.
