New believer but husband is athiest & former Muslim, how to reach him for Christ?

I am a new Christian and my husband is unfortunately not a follower in Christ or any religion for that matter. When he grew up he was raised with Islam and got out of that when he was a teenager and met his first atheist friend who was also following the same religion when he was younger but turned away. 

I tried to help him understand what we say about Christ (because Islam is known for devaluing Christ and making Him out as only a prophet). He asked me a question today that has me stumped. I thought I would ask stronger Christians since now I'm lost for words and sadly has me thinking things. Which I feel guilty for and now it makes me think that I lost my connection with Christ and my salvation for me thinking about the possibility. 

His question was: If Islam and all these religions feel this "higher power" (I was referring to the Holy Spirit when I told him how I can feel Christ- he claims when he prayed to God that he also had the same feeling of comfort) how do we know which is true? How do we know that we are following the correct creator? This is how people get into their religion and they can feel what we Christians feel and it makes me sad for everyone being led by a false prophet/ religion and we don't know which to be true (this is my thoughts overthinking to the possibility to this being untrue. Because we cannot be 100% about anything). I would hate myself if I went my entire life thinking that I was being a follower to my true creator and then find out I was wrong and now he hates me and I'm doomed for eternity. I also would like help answering this; how do you know that what we follow (Christ) to be true? I'm genuinely curious and I would love my thoughts to stop tormenting me. I never had a testimony the way a lot of people do and I pray and read every single day multiple times a day. I changed my music choices to just strictly Christian music (personal choice I felt convicted to do) but as far as feeling Him with me I'm not lucky like a lot of you are. I feel so bad and it's only been today that this has been going on and the faster I can deal with my doubts the better. I feel horrible because I'm supposed to have Faith regardless.


A: For a short answer, because Christianity is the only true faith. The evidence is overwhelming. Just like Mormonism and other religions it's not about feelings, it's about factual truth and evidence. Most believers will not say they "feel the Holy Spirit" or "Feel Jesus", but we hadva miracle happen when we believed; we became a totally new person, people see the radical transformation God did in us. We once loved sin but now love righteousness and YHWH. 

All other beliefs are simply idolatry. 

The Faith in YHWH has been the only one since Creation. Everything else is false gods that came later. In Eden God promised the Messiah and he arrived as Jesus. Jesus is also the only one who died and rose again. None of those other so called prophets or religious leaders ever did.

These will be great helps for you, so copy this comment to your notes app and go thru it all. 

Having this info understood and able to share to him, will help guide him to God, and make the Gospel make sense. From there it's between him and God. You just continue in the fauth, even if unequally yoked. Praying that before he dies he gets saved. 

Finally, this can help you as you grow in the faith. https://longertweets.blogspot.com/2022/04/resources-believers.html

How do we leave someone after a gospel convo?

Q: What is your evangelism routine after evangelizing to a new person?  What is a good practice to do before we move on to the next person? A: After the convo you can give the " will think about it " person something free like Scientific facts in the Bible or Why Christianity tract if you didn't give a tract. Then leave them with God.  If they say they realize they were a false convert  & got saved today, then they have been in church before and likely have a Bible. Direct them to a biblical church nearby [that you have on a list in the area you are evangelizing and in that county]. If they don't have a Bible you can give them this  https://livingwaters.com/store/books/bibles/the-bibles-four-gospels/ probably avail on Amazon if out of stock. It has the Gospel in it and steps for new believer in there, to further guide them.  If they're a new believer, ask if they have a Bible. If they don't or have a catholic or cult version or kjv, offer them 1. the book ...

What if someone rejects a tract?

Q: What should my response be when someone out right rejects a Gospel tract?   Many that have say “If this about God or Jesus, I don’t want it.” A: If you're interested in having conversations, that's a great opening! THEM: Is that about Jesus? I don't want it!  YOU: Actually, it is. I'll save it for the next person, but I'm curious, why don't you want something to help you think about the importance of Jesus?  Listen to them and that may open the door for you to share the Gospel. If they refuse to open up though, wish them well and move on. Do try to probe. It may open doors to talk. Have ready some answers ready to top 5 expected rejection reasons the person has about religion or Christianity, or Jesus, and you might be able to chat & swing to the Gospel. Put the focus on Jesus not the people who claim to be his followers or religions that claim to be Christian. Use if questions like If God is real or if Jesus is God and if he went to great expense and le...
