"Often, Christians try to use their own power and authority to persuade others to follow Christ. But sharing God's message should not involve slick debate or manipulation. Instead, we should share what God has done for us through the power of the Holy Spirit. Then we should depend on the Spirit for the results. The Holy Spirit works in people, helping them see that the incredible Jesus really did come to die for them, paying the penalty for their sins."
