Gospel Conversation - Part 19 (How to Share the Gospel with Your Client)

 

How to Share the Gospel with Your Client

Sharing the gospel with a client can feel challenging because of the professional context. Yet, God calls us to be salt and light in every area of life, including business relationships. When done with wisdom, respect, and love, faith conversations can naturally arise even in client settings. Here are practical steps to help you share the gospel while maintaining integrity and professionalism.

Build a Genuine Relationship First

Before diving into spiritual topics, invest time in building trust and rapport. Show interest in them as a person, listen well, and provide excellent service. Genuine relationships open doors for deeper conversations.

Live Out Your Faith Through Your Work

Demonstrate integrity, kindness, and excellence in all your dealings. Your character as a follower of Christ will often speak louder than words, drawing curiosity and respect.

Look for Natural Conversation Opportunities

Don’t force the gospel. Instead, be attentive to moments when your client shares about their values, struggles, or worldview. These openings create natural transitions into faith topics.

Be Respectful and Sensitive

Respect their beliefs and boundaries. Never use coercion or pressure. Instead, share gently and clearly when appropriate, always honoring their freedom to respond.

Share Your Personal Testimony

One of the most effective ways to share is simply telling your story of how Jesus has made a difference in your life. This personalizes the gospel and makes it relatable.

Present the Gospel Clearly and Simply

If the conversation moves toward faith, share the core message:

  • Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

  • Salvation is a gift by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).

  • Anyone who believes in Him receives eternal life (John 3:16).

Offer Resources or Next Steps

If they show interest, offer a Bible, invite them to church, or suggest a trusted Christian book or website. Be ready to guide them gently without overwhelming.

Pray and Trust God’s Timing

Remember, conversion is God’s work. Pray for your client’s heart and trust the Holy Spirit to move. Your role is faithful witness, not conversion.

Final Thoughts

Sharing the gospel with clients is about balancing faithfulness with professionalism. When done with grace and wisdom, you can be a powerful testimony of Christ’s love and truth even in the marketplace.

Was the KJV Biased? A Look at the King’s Instructions to the Translators

“Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.”  Psalm 119:140 (KJV) Introduction: For many believers, the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible is not just a translation; it's the Bible. Revered for its majesty, poetic rhythm, and theological weight, the KJV has influenced English-speaking Christianity for over four centuries. Yet behind its beauty lies a royal blueprint few Christians know about: fifteen specific rules issued by King James I to guide its translation . These rules not only influenced how the Bible was translated but also reveal the political, ecclesiastical, and theological atmosphere of the time. Understanding them helps us read the KJV with greater appreciation and awareness. Why Were the Rules Given? In 1604, King James authorized a new English translation to settle growing disputes between Puritans and the established Church of England. To ensure unity, consistency, and political harmony, he appointed 47 scholars from Oxford, Cambridge, and We...

Gospel Conversation - Part 6 (How to Preach the Gospel to African Traditionalists)

How to Preach the Gospel to African Traditionalists Introduction African Traditional Religion (ATR) is not a single, uniform system but a variety of beliefs and practices rooted in the cultural heritage of African peoples. It is deeply intertwined with identity, family history, community life, and the spiritual worldview of its adherents. Many who follow ATR believe in a supreme creator but approach Him through lesser divinities, ancestors, and spiritual rituals. To effectively preach the Gospel in this context, we must combine sensitivity, respect, and clarity while pointing to the sufficiency and supremacy of Christ. Understand the African Traditionalist Worldview Before speaking, we must listen and learn. ATR is characterized by: Belief in a Supreme Being - Often seen as distant and approached through intermediaries. Veneration of Ancestors - The dead are seen as active participants in the affairs of the living. Spirit World Awareness - Recognition of spirits, divinities, and the...

Engaging Skeptics, Atheists, and Agnostics with Thoughtful Dialogue

  Apologetic Responses and Conversation Starters Introduction When sharing the Gospel with skeptics, atheists, or agnostics, having thoughtful, respectful responses to common objections can help open meaningful conversations. This blog provides key apologetic answers and practical conversation starters that foster dialogue rather than debate, guiding seekers toward deeper reflection on faith in Jesus Christ.  The Existence of God: “Is There Any Evidence?” Common Objection: “ There’s no proof God exists; belief is just wishful thinking.” Apologetic Response: It’s important to clarify that while God’s existence isn’t something we can prove like a mathematical theorem, there is strong philosophical and empirical evidence supporting belief in God: Cosmological Argument: The universe had a beginning (Big Bang), which implies a cause beyond itself, something outside of time and space. This cause is best explained as a personal Creator. Design and Fine-Tuning: The precise laws a...
