Once you\u2019ve established a strong relationship with your friend, you can say what needs to be said. You must eventually share that Jesus is the only way to have peace with God. You must share that, without repentance, there is no forgiveness for sins. You must share that Jesus is God.<\/p>\n<p>When your friend argues with you, don\u2019t back down. Respond with affection in your voice. If he offends you, you can articulate that, but continue to pursue him with love. And never, ever deny the truth of the gospel, no matter what the situation.<\/p>\n<p>it\u2019s in persuasion that contextualization is most powerful, but remember that contextualization never softens the gospel; it clarifies the gospel in such a way that the truth penetrates the heart of the hearer so that he can no longer ignore the truth of the gospel, but must act on what he has heard. Acceptance or rejection of the gospel is no longer dependent on you, but on God.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read the series of posts below for more on this topic:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.namb.net\/apologetics\/resource\/evangelism-to-muslims\/\">Evangelism to Muslims<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"element-value ajax-value ajax-redactor read-only redactor-editor redactor_editor\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.namb.net\/apologetics\/resource\/evangelism-to-muslims-presence\/\">Evangelism to Muslims: Presence<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.namb.net\/apologetics\/resource\/evangelism-to-muslims-proclamation\/\">Evangelism to Muslims: Proclamation<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.namb.net\/apologetics\/resource\/evangelism-to-muslims-persuasion\/\">Evangelism to Muslims: Persuasion<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.namb.net\/apologetics\/resource\/evangelism-to-muslims-prayer\/\">Evangelism to Muslims: Prayer<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.namb.net\/apologetics\/resource\/evangelism-to-muslims-a-bridge\/\">Evangelism to Muslims: A Bridge<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The smallest of the \u201cP\u2019s\u201d is persuasion, which is also the point of the pyramid \u2013 &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.namb.net\/apologetics\/resource\/evangelism-to-muslims-persuasion\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Evangelism to Muslims: Persuasion<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2413,"template":"","meta":{"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"tags":[],"channels":[],"topics":[9,11],"languages":[],"class_list":["post-1646","resource","type-resource","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","resource_type-article","topics-apologetics","topics-world-religions"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) -
