Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Messiah. It is the power of G-d at work, atoning everyone who believes – Jews first and also Gentiles.

So as a Messianic Jew (Jewish believer), I would be remiss if I did not hel p t hose of you who were not born Jewish, to know how to share your faith with Jewish people who are “unatoned”. The best tool I know of to use is your lifestyle and your personal testimony. 

D.L. Moody wrote “Where one man reads the Bible, one hundred read you and me.”

There are certain specifics that are unique to the Jewish mindset and culture that I would like to share with you.

Unfortunately, the majority of Jews you will talk to don’t know much at all about the Bible. Surprised? If they went to Hebrew school, they will know some of the Bible stories and maybe remember how to read some Hebrew. But VERY few understand the meaning of that Hebrew. But, even with that said, I would still suggest that you approach them being knowledge of the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Covenant) and discuss prophecies that involve Israel .

In order to get their interest in the topic, you could ask them questions such as:

“Did you know that the exact date of Israel ’s being reborn as a country in 1948 and the exact year when Jerusalem would come back into Jewish hands in 1967 is written in the Scriptures? 

Did you know that the Scriptures tells us exactly when the Messiah comes? 

Did you know that King David’s psalms predict that Yeshua would die by having His hands and feet pierced?

Were you aware that the great Jewish prophet Isaiah told the details of the death and resurrection of Yeshua?

All of the above answers are in my sharing book and here is an example of something you will find in there that you can show them:

You can find G-d's plan of salvation hidden in the genealogy of the very first man, Adam. If you list the descendants of Adam in order from Adam to Noah they are: Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah. So big deal. But Hebrew names always have a meaning. For instance Adam means "man" and Seth means "appointed". Now if you translate the Hebrew names from the original Hebrew root meaning into English, in the order of their birth, the meanings of the names spell out a very significant sentence:

Adam  =  Man

Seth  =  Appointed

Enosh  =  Mortal

Kenan  =   Sorrow

Mahalalel  =  The blessed G-d

Jared  =  Shall come down

Enoch  =  Teaching

Methuselah  =  His death shall bring

Lamech  =  The despairing

Noah  =   Rest and comfort

Now let's read these translated names as a sentence…

Man – appointed – mortal – sorrow - the blessed G-d - shall come down - teaching - his death shall bring - the despairing - rest and comfort.

WOW, here is G-d's plan right in the Torah! Is there any question that our G-d is making sure we know of whom He is talking here? Here it is obvious that G-d is making sure (again in our Hebrew Scriptures) that, if we are willing to look for Him, we will unquestionably find Him! 

I wrote my sharing book specifically for the purpose of being a powerful sharing tool for BOTH Jews and non-Jews. Christians love it as it helps them understand the roots of their Christian faith and it also shows how to share with those stubborn folks in their life. It uses scientific, mathematical, prophetic, historical and of course Old Covenant Biblical proofs that Yeshua is the promised Messiah, and that the Bible is truly the Word of G-d. However, it is clearly written from a Jewish perspective so as to be more acceptable to my “unatoned” Jewish brothers and sisters.
