Make a list of everyone you and put them in one of two categories.
One group is the "I know so" - they are a follower of Jesus. I would imagine this list will be people you know well, you have asked directly about thier faith, or have heard their testimony of saving faith in Jesus Christ. After seeing those on the "know so" list of saved friends and pray for them.
The second group on your "I think so" list. These are people you "think" are saved, maybe by simple comments they have made, maybe their talk of thier church affiliation, or thier witness of being such a great person causes you to "think" they are saved.
How about taking your "think so" list and intentionally start a conversation with them.
Maybe you can start with one of these.... You could say...
I prayed for you by name today and need to ask for your forgiveness for never actually asking you about your faith....
- how's your soul?
- who is Jesus to you?
- if you died tonight where would you spend eternity?
- What do you think happens when you die?
- (If a church goer) what does your church teach about getting to heaven or a relationship with God?
By the way you should also have a "don't know" list of aquaintances that you know at work or school or someone you usually bump into and only talk about the weather with.
You probably even and a "NO WAY" list that you don't think there's any way "that person" could be saved.
Now that you've got your lists, intentionally make a plan to start a conversation that will be important for thier soul and their eternal destination.
It is our duty as believers. We are a SALVATION ARMY!
Why not start a list today. Why not tell someone that Jesus can save them today?
Live holy, preach Jesus!
