Q: How can I be a blessing to people who do not know Jesus as their Savior? —Grace
A: Being a blessing to unbelievers is a matter of being sensitive to their areas of spiritual need and nurturing them through a caring personal relationship. By doing these things, we testify to the truth of the gospel, and prepare them for the greatest blessing of all—understanding who Jesus is and what He’s done for us.
To be a blessing involves commitment to care about people, not just to gain influence or win arguments with them. It isn’t a sport or a game. It’s serious, and it calls for a sober mind, self-awareness, and humility. —Dan Vander Lugt

FULLY AGREE.
WE, AS FAITHFUL CHRISTIAN, SHOULD PRESENT OURSELVES IN OBEDIENCE TO JESUS’ COMMANDMENTS AND LIVING WITH GOD’S TRUTHS IN US.
BE A TESTIMONY FOR GOD, AND TO GLORIFY GOD’S NAME.

Angelina, good point—obedience to Jesus results in our being an effective witness for Him. He called us to love and care for those around us and to also live in a way that reveals His truth. As we do these things, the Holy Spirit can work through us to reach others.
