A person’s perception of the world may not be the same as yours. An individual’s worldview has a tremendous strong impact on their outlook on life itself. Nonetheless, every person is not a Christian, and even though we are all created in the image of God; there are some who view the world in a different way. Unfortunately, many choices that are made today are against Christianity belief. Being a Christian seems to be against the norm nowadays.

Using the scriptures in the word of God effectively to persuade another person. Telling the truth regarding what is going wrong. How it can be different just from a different way of thinking. Also, how to acquire the help they need. Allowing a transformation in the mind so that they can become an overcomer (2015). In knowing this we are more than conquerors.

    We must nurture new disciples, as seen in Matthew 28:19-20. It is important to teach these individuals of why and how to relate the Bible as the revelation of God in matters of life, salvation, kingdom work and theology.

    Christians are called to become more effective in all these areas, but the Lord has given these gifts more to others. It is the Church’s responsibility to bring the people who have these gifts to help teach and develop these gifts in others.
