So, what does John 6:47 mean?
Jesus states that whoever believes in Him has eternal life. But what does it mean to believe? According to the Bible, believing means trusting in, relying on, and clinging to Him. Believing is essentially a trusting love.
Fun Fact: No other prophet or holy man in the Bible said, “Believe in me and find everlasting life.” Jesus was the only one!
Question: What are ways can we help others believe or draw closer to Jesus?

Being an example of Jesus’ life and mission – accept all, forgive all, and praying for others – seem to be the “easiest” or most natural ways to lead others to Christ. Simply being an example of His love when we have all the reason to act hastily. Praising His grace, mercy, and promises amongst our daily conversations may also spark a co-worker, professor, or cashier to learn more about Jesus or strengthen their faith so they may do the same.
Be an example and share or talk about the gospel; don’t be afraid to talk about Him – for He is GOOD!
I think this is something that is very difficult. Faith can be a hard topic to discuss, especially if we don’t know where another person stands. Aside from praying for them I think just being open about our faith and sharing how our faith positively impacts our lives can be powerful. Starting with a conversation about how you’re both doing could open things up.
Sharing our faith and journey in Christ. Also, inviting others to join us at church or in a Bible study, etc.
