I just met with one of my students to help her think through how to share the gospel with a friend of hers. He belongs to the Baha'i Faith; they've already had a conversation about some of what he believes about truth, morality, and God, and she's hoping to talk with him again tonight.
It was really enjoyable to talk about all the different topics she could approach with him - the nature of man (good or evil), the physical reality of Christ's resurrection, and our need for grace. She's hoping to ask him why Christianity would need to be reinterpreted by the Baha’ullah, their original prophet. Their basic premise is that all religions are reinterpreted by the Baha'ullah, who provides the truth we need for our time to move forward in our "evolution." I think it's interesting Baha'is believe they must do things to try to get closer to God; another works-based religion seems like a step back from grace and the free gift of salvation in Christ, instead of a step forward "evolutionary"-wise.
Do you have any resources or advice or stories about sharing the gospel with Baha'is I could pass onto her?
