To be fearless in persuading others to believe in Christ, you must be faithful to God so that He will be faithful to fulfill His work through you. To be persuasive, there are four things to consider. 1. We must be personally, fully persuaded of humanity's need to be saved. There is not much persuasion in the message of a messenger who does not believe it for themselves. 2. We must be trustworthy. If people cannot believe you, then they will not believe your God. 3. We must offer answers that are reasonable and rational. Persuasion by emotion and intellect without rationality cannot withstand critique. 4. We must offer answers that are relevant to those asking the questions. Ignoring or dismissing someone's questions raises doubt that you know what you are talking about and your irrelevant answers sound disingenuous, untrustworthy, and/or ignorant.
