Satan and the world have convinced your friend that the last place they will find happiness is in Christianity. They don’t know that Jesus will make their life a wonderful way to live. It is true Christianity doesn’t offer extreme pleasure because it addicts and enslaves them. But, He does offer a pleasure that brings healing to their life.

One important thing your friend needs to understand is, Jesus has labelled those things that produce extreme pleasure as sins. But, the reason for that is because the end result of those things He labelled sin causes pain, emptiness, disappointment, and ultimately spiritual and physical death.

At this point, your friend doesn’t have to make any changes in their current life. Jesus is offering them alternatives to their current lifestyle that He will help them trade for their sins. Plus, they must become saved before Jesus can make any significant changes. Your friend doesn’t make the changes; they just have to allow Jesus to make the changes. The Bible isn’t an instruction Book; it is a powerful, transformation Book. It creates change, as it and Jesus speak into their life.

If your friend has been a Christian for awhile, Bible Life Counseling is Jesus’ way of showing them how to take advantage of all His provisions. A lot of Christians have only scratched the surface of all He has to offer. He wants to show them how to live an exciting and Victorious Christian Life.

It is awesome to get the victory over sin, temptations, addictions, relational difficulties, financial struggles, emotional suffering, and physical issues. But, Jesus has so much more to offer your friend. If they are willing to come to Jesus for more training, He will set them free from those things that are causing them pain. Then He will give them spiritual blessings that will take the place of all those things the world was offering them.

Jesus will help you raise the level of your Christian friend’s expectations. He will help you show them that Christianity is much more than a healing program. It is The Victorious Christian Life system. Jesus offers the fruit of the Holy Spirit that fills their emotions with great blessings. He gives them relationships that are beyond anything they have ever dreamed of. He blesses them financially, as they learn how to start giving to the needy. And, He brings healing to their physical body that is supernatural.

You have experienced Jesus and know why your unsaved and Christian friends need to join you in Bible Life Counseling. The problem is, how do you convince them they need these things? If a lot of your spiritual growth has taken place over years of Bible reading, praying, church attendance, reading good Christian literature, listening to good Christian music, and fellowshipping with good Christians, it has happened on a gradual, nonprogressive way.

When your Christian life is growing in a random, nonsequential way, you may not know the steps you took to get where you are. And, you will feel uncertain, as to how to help your friend get where you are. However, by introducing them into Bible Life Counseling, and you joining Jesus in Growing: Year Two, you and your friend will see the step-by-step growth, so you can share it with others.
