Evangelism is the act of spreading the Christian gospel or beliefs, often with the intention of converting others. It involves sharing the “good news” about Jesus Christ, typically through preaching, personal testimony, or other forms of communication. The goal is to lead individuals to a personal relationship with Jesus and to encourage them to become followers of Christianity.
Today’s focus is about the need to evangelize and why it is important.
The great commission God’s gift eph 2:8-9
The core value of Evangelism
Bring about the good news of the gospel.
Tell of the salvation that all can receive through Jesus Christ.
It’s nothing we work for, but it is God’s gift that was given to each one, but we must receive this gift from God. God does not force it on us but He will reveal his truth to people.
Through the word it transforms a person’s life.
The reason to Evangelize is to bring about spiritual awareness to a dying soul.
To open their eyes. To be enlightened to God’s truth People are in darkness but we who have the light of Christ within us can share that light to others.
Eph 2:8-9 gives us the understanding that people do not work to gain salvation, but it is a free gift from God. Salvation is a gift from God, received through faith, not earned by works.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast”. This passage emphasizes that salvation is a free gift, a result of God’s grace, and that humans cannot boast in their own efforts to achieve.
God’s unmerited favor is his grace towards us. His grace is a gift. We are under his grace and mercy currently.
This is the time we can tell others about God’s love, grace, and mercy to everyone.
We evangelize to bring about salvation to others. Salvation is the redeeming power of Christ. Man is in a sinful state and we who are believers once were in that sinful state, but we allowed God to come into our life. We did this because of the need to be in his Kingdom.
Evangelism is the act of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ to others. Each of us has a story of how Jesus Christ has changed their lives in a way that is according to God’s plan and purpose.
Evangelism helps others to know and understand God’s truth and his ways. People want other to come to Christ when we evangelize but it could happen then, or it could happen later but let God get the glory for any outcome. You were sent out to evangelize, but God will do the rest. Some won’t but if you do as God said to do then don’t worry you did your part.
Today was a start on this journey of the importance of Evangelism. Why is there a need to evangelize. When to Evangelize. The key to all of this it is to bring hope to others, life to the lifeless and a way to tell the good news to those who might not know anything about the salvation plan that God has given to the world.
The goal of Evangelism is to tell others the good news but what they do with it is now up to them. Since you heard and received his truth now what. It is up to us to spread the word, but let God do the rest.
Evangelism isn’t forced but we preach it with love and humility. We are in a world full of unrighteous people with their own agenda. Yet that is why we need to make sure we know and understand God plan and purpose deeply. We cannot go out and tell others the good news if we are still not sure of our faith.
