Its not about being 'good' in that context(though I understand
what you are trying to say). But if you actually believe in
something, then you usually live out that belief. How can you
preach when you live a life contradicting that belief? But that is
what a lot of 'preachers' do. I'm only saying the person who
preaches should actually lead by example. The preaching and
living out go hand in hand.
Why would people come to them for this reason? Wah .. even ask you
to share somemore.
How many conversion testimonies we heard are like that?
I do not doubt that good behaviour give good impression, which of
course makes preaching easier, but I don't understand why will
people come to you just 'cos you are good?
If you can perform miracles I can understand, but good
People do not come to you just because you are 'good'. As
Christians we are supposed to love, not just being
good.
Non-believers who are sincere to find out about the faith:
1. Are first drawn to the 'good' life.
2. They realize that goodness comes out of love.
That is what I meant by people will naturally come to you if you
actually live out the faith.
