A believer invited a new friend to grab coffee in order to get to know each other better. After arriving at the coffee shop, they realized that they both didn’t like coffee! Luckily, the coffee shop also had other drinks, so they placed their order and began to talk about different things regarding their different cultures. The new friend comes from a country where his religion is forced on his countrymen. Although he still believes in that religion, he doesn’t believe the coercion is good. They continued to talk, and the believer asked more questions about this new friend’s religion, including asking if good deeds make up for bad deeds in a person’s life. The new friend believes whole heartedly that they do. The believer explained that this is different in Christianity. Everyone is separated from God because of their bad deeds, but our good works can’t bridge the gap for us back to God. Only because of Jesus giving Himself as a sacrifice for sins can we have right standing with God again. Please pray that the believer will get to meet with this friend again and that the friend will come to know and believe in the hope of the gospel.
