Christianity is restoring the relationship between God and man. This should be first and foremost. If someone does not care about that relationship then sin is a moot point. A nonbeliever see's NO SIN so it would be virtually impossible to reach them from that angle. Personally, it was my love for Christ that made me see my sin. As I grew and walked closer to Him my sin became more apparent thus repentance played a big part in my walk. Never did I see my sin until after conversion.I'm always facing difficulties when I'm preaching to nonbelievers as I'm approaching the Christian hamartiology.
Modern and secular people have no recollection of sin nor do they consider themselves stained by original sin.
This is a major concern for me when I'm evangelizing as the fall and its consequences is the cornerstone of the build up the Christian soteriology.
Christ only makes sense as a restoration of the fall.
It feels very difficult to awaken the awareness of sin in people unfamiliar with the anthropological consequences of it.
If anyone has any tips please share them with me. Thing is I have a bachelor's degree in Lutheran theology and I'm currently studying for a masters degree.
I'm very familiar with Lutheran and catholic theology, but still I'm facing major problems when it comes to actualization of the sinful nature of mankind.
Blessings
