HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN ASKING SOMEONE FOR A BIBLE STUDY:

It is indeed important to approach someone for a Bible study after developing a friendship with them. Building a foundation of trust and mutual respect through friendship can create a more receptive environment for discussing personal beliefs and engaging in spiritual activities together.

1. Be sensitive and non-confrontational: Approach the topic of a Bible study with empathy and respect for their beliefs and worldview. Avoid being pushy or imposing your own perspectives. Instead, focus on the benefits and personal growth that can come from engaging in spiritual discussions.

2. Be bold to ask: It has been said in sales that when you sell a product, you must personally believe the product works. You must believe that what you have is what they need. Sometimes as believers we are scared to bring up the topic of a bible study because we believe that our message “isn’t cool”. This is the coolest message ever known to man, this bible study can heal their depression, deliver them from addictions and above all save them from their sin! Be excited when you ask them because this is life changing news.

3. Accept and respect their response: Understand that not everyone may be interested or ready for a Bible study. Rejection doesn’t reflect on your worth as an individual. If they decline, gracefully accept their decision and continue to nurture the friendship without bringing up the topic again, unless they express interest in the future. A no today

4. Be Patient: The decision to become a disciple is personal and may take time. Patience is key in this process. Respect their individual pace and avoid pressuring them. Continue to be a supportive friend, regardless of their response.
