Evangelism - This is God’s Commandment for Us
God’s commandment for us in the scripture Acts 1:8 is to "GO into the world and PREACH the goodnews". This is the commandment we have been called to obey, and this is EVANGELISM.
What is Evangelism?
Evangelism is the act of sharing the life-transforming message of the gospel with the lost souls of the world.
Evangelism is first and foremost a work of God. This is the call of the believer and it is the command of the master. This command is to every believer to go out and bring the lost or direct the lost to Christ.
God has granted to every Christian the special privilege of bringing children into His family by proclaiming the redemptive work of Christ Jesus. Think about that for a moment. It is important to realize that we are proclaimers of the gospel and chosen stewards of this truth.
God has made us heralds of His love!
God expects us to preach and at the same time preserve the integrity of the message by living by example, having a life that also speak good about who you live for.
We must never fail to remember that the gospel reveals God’s saving power and His eternal plan for humanity. It is the only solution to mankind’s entire problem.
Reasons for Evangelism
When the reason for a thing is unknown, abuse they say is inevitable. Many reasons can be put forward for which people do evangelism.
Many have used evangelism as a means to fill up their worship centers. Others have used it as a means to feel good about themselves and others do it because it is an obligation brought forth by the pastor or church.
PROVERBS 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
All these and more are reasons people are daily on the street preaching. All these reasons in themselves are not bad.
The reason for evangelism by anyone can only be commended or reproved by God Himself. This is because only God can see the heart and intentions of everyone.
When a man evangelizes with the right intentions (because he loves sinners and will not want them to miss out on salvation there will be a better reward for his labour.
When your motive for evangelism is centered around your love for God and for the sinners, you will not get weary and you will not struggle.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, help me to obey this divine command - Amen.
