why EVANGELISM is important

1 God said so! Matt 28:19-20

How true! Evangelism is not my idea or an idea made up by a pastor for church expansion. It is straight from the heart and mouth of our heavenly Father.

2 Satan hates it! Acts 4:12, Rom 6:23

Evangelism is a vehicle that God has given us to rescue people from going to hell. Satan wants everyone to go to Hell but God wants everyone to be with Him in Heaven.

3 Jesus brings true peace and fulfilment. Ephesians 2:17, John 14:27

Nothing in this world can be more satisfying and fulfilling than knowing and experiencing God’s love through Jesus Christ.

4 The Artwork is incomplete. Acts 1:1, 2 Corinthians 5:17-20, Romans 10:14

We are chosen by God to bring a slice of heaven onto earth. Since the fall of humanity, God has been at work bringing reconciliation between Himself and humankind. We are God’s chosen instruments to complete this task.

5 Expression of love and gratitude towards God. 2 Corinthians 5:9, James 2:14-18

Love for God has to be expressed through obedience and action. Love and action must go hand in hand. We witness because we love God.

6 Faith-growing experience. Philemon 6

Winning souls can be the most exhilarating thing to do for God. Why? The Holy Spirit is with us. We are not alone. Jesus said signs and miracles will follow those who preach the Good News
