25 KJV Bible Verses to Share with the Difficult Unbeliever

As a believer, chances are that you will be challenged by an unbeliever regarding your faith at least once in your lifetime. You will or have attempted to share the truth of the gospel with them but there is always some reason why they will not hear you. The Bible says that you should “…be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15). I say that we can be ready, however doing it with meekness and fear is not always how it turns out, especially when you are dealing with a difficult unbeliever [1], right? To help equip you to give that answer, here are 25 KJV Bible verses to share with the difficult unbeliever. These are some verses to answer some very common excuses.

Not Today, Maybe Tomorrow

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

1 Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Final Thoughts

Before we knew Christ we too had excuses. Sometimes we need to step back and remember the day when we thought like an unbeliever. Then we need to call upon the Holy Spirit to give us just the right words. We must remember that Jesus sent us out among the unbelievers to share the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We must also be careful to season our words and share the Word of God with meekness and fear. Jesus said “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves” (Matthew 10:16). Don’t push it — don’t beat them over the head with the Bible. Know the Word and incorporate it into your daily conversation. Let the Holy Spirit use you as a tool to draw them to believe.
