Question:

If a parent is skeptical about your Christianity, what can I do to help them?

Answer:

1 Peter 3:1 – “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the Word, they also may without the Word be won by the conversation of the wives.”  Even as a wife can influence her unsaved husband greatly by her works, a child can exhibit Christ to his/her parents by their actions.  Ephesians 6:1 tells children to obey their parents in the Lord.  It’s hard to have a good testimony before our parents if we disobey the Word by disobeying our parents.
