For example, even in marriage, we don&#8217;t marry someone after we find out everything about him or her. Instead, after we&#8217;ve begun to live with them we discover more and more about that person. Preparation beforehand is important but we understand \u201cwhat we couldn&#8217;t have ever known about that person\u201d after we get married.<\/p>\n<p>We must stop trying to make ourselves pure, stop trying to protect ourselves or carve out a path for our lives in our own strength. If we decide to entrust all of that to Jesus then He becomes our point of contact. And though it is crucial for there to be guidance until a decision to follow Christ has been made it is not necessary, for example, to cram in difficult doctrine before a person can begin to pray on their own.<\/p>\n<p>When we have contact with non-believers it is easy even for people without a gift in evangelism to discern these different types of persons if these frameworks are in their heads. By using approaches that meet people&#8217;s needs, it becomes possible to show them how God relates to where they&#8217;re hurting with their particular problem. If they can think that \u201cthe answer to my problem is in Christ\u201d then, without a doubt, it will be easier for them to take a step that will tie them into a relationship with God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Menu The three needs of Japanese people Approaches that respond to these needs Making use of the three approac [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":504,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"sns_share_botton_hide":"","vkExUnit_sns_title":"","_vk_print_noindex":"","sitemap_hide":"","_veu_custom_css":"","veu_display_promotion_alert":"","vkexunit_cta_each_option":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-witnessing-approach-adapted-to-the-needs-of-the-japanese-people"],"aioseo_notices":[],"veu_head_title_object":{"title":"","add_site_title":""},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rac-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/shirakawa-go-3968395_1280.jpg?fit=1280%2C847&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rac-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rac-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rac-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rac-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rac-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=841"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/rac-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":850,"href":"https:\/\/rac-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841\/revisions\/850"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rac-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rac-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rac-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rac-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
