What if my friends don't believe in God?
Great question! Here's the answer:
You can still be friends with them while loving them and being a good example of Jesus' love.
It's okay to have friends who don't believe in God! Jesus spent time with all kinds of people, not just people who already believed in Him. In fact, He said He came for people who needed Him.
Here are some things to remember: First, be a good friend to them. Show them what Jesus' love looks like by being kind, honest, and caring. Sometimes people learn about God by watching how Christians act.
Second, don't be ashamed of your faith. You don't have to preach at them all the time, but don't hide that you're a Christian either. If they ask questions, answer them honestly.
Third, pray for them. Ask God to help them know Him. You never know how God might use your friendship to bring them closer to Him!
Just be careful that their choices don't pull you away from God. You can be their friend without doing things you know are wrong.
