Patience serves as a compelling witness to those who do not yet believe. When non-believers observe Christians responding with calmness and love in situations that typically provoke frustration or anger, it sparks curiosity about the source of their peace. This demeanor opens doors for meaningful conversations about faith, potentially leading to opportunities for sharing the gospel. Demonstrating patience in the face of adversity can thus be a powerful tool for evangelism.
1 Peter 2:12 ESV: "Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation."
Reflection: Can you think of a recent instance where demonstrating patience could have served as a witness to someone not in the faith?
