What does God expect us to do for other cultures and faiths

I think that God wants us to encourage us to understand and adjust to the different cultures and faiths that each and every one of us holds. This means that we don't shove our faith and culture down their throats saying that they should become a believer in this faith because it is the only way otherwise I cast in black light. It means that we bring to people's attention the real beauty of the faith that we have and the cultures which we have. For example I am a Christian and I think that God would want other Christians to show people who may be searching for God or don't yet know Him to see the wonders of his scripture and the power that the scripture can bring us through God. God would want us to go up to a group of strangers and tell him to become Christians otherwise they will be sent to hell. Because this does not bring honor to God as we are not showing the work of God through our actions. Instead we present God to them and let them decide whether they choose to believe or not. God encourages us to help those who have not found him and he would expect that as His children that we do not turn a blind eye on someone in need, or someone struggling instead we help and nurture them by showing them that God works in mysterious way and although we may not think that he is with us. He is always with us, its only in our darkness trials that we realize he has only been with us, walking along aside us through everything.

  1. I think Don Richardson truly shows us to live with people and be Christ-like in all our dealings. Allow the Holy Spirit to work through you to affect the lives of others.
