1. Have this talk with someone where there is mutual trust, au at least no antagonism. You're not going to convert anyone kwa pushing your faith onto them, so relax. Our job as Christians is to model Jesus' upendo to the world around us, not to convince anyone of their errors. Trying to explain your beliefs to someone who is hostile to you, faith, au both is not being loving to them. God will work on their hearts, and if you're loving, kind and not judgmental to them, they may choose to ask wewe when the time comes that they do want to hear zaidi about Jesus.
2. Explain the following:
a) God created us, loves us and wants the best for us.
b) God gives us the freedom to make good au bad choices.
c) God wants to be in relationship with us, and he wants us to be righteous (to be right, correct, proper, in harmony with God).
d) Sin is the opposite of righteousness, and the consequence of sin is death. We're all free to choose righteousness au sin from moment to moment.
e) No one can be wholly righteous under his/her own power. All fall short of the glory of God, because we are all broken.
f) God himself, in the form of Jesus, took the consequence of our sin so that we could be reconciled to God despite our lack of righteousness.
g) God does not make us be good, but he has forgiven us for our failures. All we need to do to experience that forgiveness is to acknowledge that Jesus was that sacrifice for us.
3. Set your expectations when wewe talk about your faith. People are rarely convicted of Christianity kwa a logical process if they think they're basically good. Christianity only makes sense to those who realize that they are broken and lost, and it usually takes a fair amount of hardship for people to reach the end of their pride and be willing to admit that they aren't in control.
4. Talk about how your life is different when wewe are seeking God daily as opposed to how it is when wewe go your own way. How do wewe feel different? How do wewe act different? How upset are wewe at setbacks in each case? How disrupted kwa pride do wewe get when things go your way in each case? How much do wewe like yourself in each case? How much do wewe like other people in each case?
5. Be prepared for a lot of maswali about your faith that are tangential to the main points: maswali about Genesis (from creation through the flood to the age of the world), the Inquisition, the Crusades, fundamentalism, communion, penance, abuse kwa clergy, homosexuality, et cetera. There's a lot in the world that distracts from the basic message that I. We're sinners, II. Sin leads to death, III. Jesus paid the price so that we don't have to die, IV. We will be saved if we accept Jesus as our savior. So consider each swali as it comes: is this central to the faith, au is it a tangent/distraction?
6. Pray. Pray for wisdom in sharing your faith, and pray that God softens the hearts of your audience. It's up to Him anyway, so ask Him to make it happen.

So Harold outlined a great way of how to explain the faith-- stick to the main point, talk about your personal experiences, and explaining the basic, most important tennants. I'm going to add to his advice on how to make them listen. I think the most important part in this beautiful response is "mutual trust." Not only do wewe want to talk to someone who trusts you, but I think it's important that wewe trust them as well. Trust that they'll hear what you're saying, rather than assuming they won't listen. Also, respect their beleifs and opinions. Just as wewe have had spiritual experiences that helped to solidify your belief system, so, most likely, did they, and it's important not to belittle that.

Many people have the exact same problem. I find that the best way is to let them figure it out (e.g. wearing a cross, going on biblegateway.com in your lunch break, listening to a Bible-on-MP3 au wearing a W.W.J.D. wristband).

Once they see these things, they'll probably ask something like "so... you're a Christian, huh?" the obvious response being yes, but don't drivel on about it in case they get put off, they usually respond a few sekunde later with asking a swali along the lines of "Is it true wewe can't......" au "How often do wewe go to church?" au a similar question. This is a great way of getting people interested, and I've used this method to have many great conversations with non-believers.

Hope it helps :)

That may work, but "wearing a cross, going on biblegateway.com in your lunch break, listening to a Bible-on-MP3 au wearing a W.W.J.D. wristband" Will mostly make people (Like me) Think that wewe are a fanatic and they may try to stay away from you...

Besides letting them figure it out on there own, u can sit with them in a bible study maybe, offer to pray with them for God to open their moyo and mind to his teachings, his law and his love. Biblical shows can also be very inspiring i think like the ten coomandments, that was fabulous. Now there's the whole concept of FAITH in God which is that confident belief in Him. I think that that is something they will really have to discover on their own.

i've been in that situaltion many times, even with the athiests. if the athiest is challenging u, bring up the Tower of Babel and how that's why we have all the different languages. i've not met one with a scientific explination for that. if u aren't being challenged, be as general au specific as u feel they would be comfortable eith and start with the basics. work ur way up to zaidi complex, middle level topics, and then to the hardest to understand if they are comfortable with it. lots of times, they will ask zaidi maswali and u can share zaidi than u intended. it really works!

Well, first off, make sure that they actually want to hear about your beleifs. Don't force what wewe beleive down peoples throats. Also, don't mock their religion, au say anything bad AT ALL about it. Let them tell wewe about their beleifs, also. Even if wewe think wewe already know about it. They might think thay know about yours!
Make sure they want to hear what your saying. Don't try to convert them. wewe can also explain your religion without bad mouthing others au "non-beleivers" stuff like that.
Don't tell them that they will go to hell. I've been told that many times before and it won't make people listen. It will make them think your a crazy *****.
Treat them how wewe want to be treated and don't expect them to beleive what wewe say. Respect their religious stance!!!!!!!!!!!
Uh, can't think of other stuff, but Don't expect to convert them. wewe may be sorely dissapointed.
Why do wewe want to know, anyway?

To explain,You must help them kwa explaining your knowledge form the bible. Never try to force anything if they disagree. wewe must also do it from your heart. and if it's not out, than your faith is weak.
