Question: What is the best verse to use when trying to witness to someone?
Depends on the stage of questioning by the individual; and, it is important that one listens to the Holy Spirit; who will often bring a verse or verses to mind; depending on the case.
However, in the absence of a verse brought to mind by the Holy Spirit, a favourite of mine is John 3:16.
The sort of occasion you cite, is where I rely on “The Comforter”, whose wisdom and knowledge of the person is complete, together with what will “move” the person to the next step!
Always bearing in mind that one person’s experiences are not the same as another; as we are all individual formulations, due to “nature and nurture”; although there are often similarities.
The basic, and common element to all of us, is the sincere desire to know Truth from the written Word of God, the Holy Scriptures of the Bible; and for our hearts and minds to be directed and focussed on Him Who is able to give that Truth, The Holy Spirit the Author of Scripture (2Peter 1:21).
Also, as will be well noted, there is worldwide differences in Scripture interpretation, and, as there can only be one Truth we must as individuals work at knowing what is authentic, and what is not (2Tim. 2:15). This reference means to work at the correct understanding of the Bible’s many meanings.
