“I really don’t know the answer to that question, but I do know this…”

Immediately he preached the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.
Acts 9:20

Note that Saul began preaching Jesus “immediately.” How much did he know at that point? Not much!

So we need to talk about Jesus and we want to talk about Jesus. Let’s say we are ready to set our fear of what others may think of us aside so that we are determined to talk about Jesus. What if people ask us questions or pose objections that we cannot answer? What then?

This is simple! Do not worry about what you do not know. Simply tell what you do know. Believe me, few if any receive Christ because a believer gave great answers to tough questions! More believers have come to faith in Christ through “less than polished” presentations of Christ. Why? Because salvation is “of the Lord” and He can save people even if we are neither knowledgeable or articulate!

Don’t get me wrong. We should want to give good answers and learn as much as we can so that we are able. But rest, dear Christian, people’s salvation is not dependent on our knowledge or communication skills. It is much more dependent on our willingness to “talk” about Jesus, through which the Lord will save His people.

It is perfectly OK to say, “I really don’t know the answer to that question, but I do know this…”
and then tell the simple Gospel, leaving the results to the Holy Spirit.
