For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” (Romans 10:13-15)
"It (Evangelism) comes from the same Greek word for gospel (euangelion) and means, literally, “gospeling.” When we evangelize we are “gospeling” — we are spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ." - https://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/what-evangelism/

9. Why every Christian should
Practice and Pursue Evangelism?
1. It is the Command of Jesus (Matthew
28:18-20). It is not just for the original
Apostles, but for every Christian because
‘all the world’ (all nations, end of the
Earth) has not yet been reached with the
Gospel (Acts 1:7-8). The command flows
to every Christian Generation, to every
Christian alive.
10. Why every Christian should
Practice and Pursue Evangelism?
Acts 1:8 ”But you will receive
power when the Holy Spirit has
come upon you, and you will be
my witnesses in Jerusalem and
in all Judea and Samaria, and
to the end of the earth.”
11. Why every Christian should
Practice and Pursue Evangelism?
2. Because the World is Broken and is
in the Darkness (Isaiah 60:1-3; 2 Tim.
3:1-5 - Last Days). We are the Light
of the World (Matt. 5:14-16) because
the Word of God which we carry, is
Light (Psa. 119:105; 2 Pet. 1:19),
along with our testimony.
12. Why every Christian should
Practice and Pursue Evangelism?
Isa 60:1 Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the LORD has risen upon
you.
Isa 60:2 For behold, darkness shall cover the
earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the
LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will be
seen upon you.
Isa 60:3 And nations shall come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your rising.
13. Why every Christian should
Practice and Pursue Evangelism?
2Tim 3:1 But understand this, that in the last
days there will come times of difficulty.
2Tim 3:2 For people will be lovers of self,
lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive,
disobedient to their parents, ungrateful,
unholy,
2Tim 3:3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous,
without self-control, brutal, not loving good,
2Tim 3:4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with
conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers
of God,
14. Why every Christian should
Practice and Pursue Evangelism?
Ps 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my
feet and a light to my path.
2Pet 1:19 And we have the prophetic
word more fully confirmed, to which you
will do well to pay attention as to a lamp
shining in a dark place, until the day
dawns and the morning star rises in your
hearts,
15. Why every Christian should
Practice and Pursue Evangelism?
3.Faith comes by Hearing,
for the Salvation of the
Lost (Rom. 10:12-15).
16. Why every Christian should
Practice and Pursue Evangelism?
Rom 10:13 For “everyone who calls on
the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Rom 10:14 How then will they call on
him in whom they have not believed?
And how are they to believe in him of
whom they have never heard? And how
are they to hear without someone
preaching?
17. Why every Christian should
Practice and Pursue Evangelism?
4. Evangelism is a Major Key to
Christian Growth. It should be a
part of our Christian Lifestyle. It
gives strength to the soul; it gives
food to our soul (John 4:34).
18. Why every Christian should
Practice and Pursue Evangelism?
John 4:32 But he said to them, “I have food
to eat that you do not know about.”
John 4:33 So the disciples said to one
another, “Has anyone brought him
something to eat?”
John 4:34 Jesus said to them, “My food is
to do the will of him who sent me and to
accomplish his work.”
19. Why every Christian should
Practice and Pursue Evangelism?
1. It is the Command of Jesus (Matthew 28:18-20). The
command flows to every Christian Generation, to
every Christian alive.
2. Because the World is Broken and is in the Darkness
(Isaiah 60:1-3; 2 Tim. 3:1-5 - Last Days). We are the
Light of the World (Matt. 5:14-16)
3. Faith comes by Hearing, for the Salvation of the Lost
(Rom. 10:12-15).
4. Evangelism is a Major Key to Christian Growth. It
gives food to our soul (John 4:34).
20. The Divine Task of Evangelism
1. It is for every Christian, not just for any
particular group or organization, or
Church.
2. It is an ongoing Divine Task that will
continue until Jesus comes back (Acts 1:8).
3. Its Power comes from the Holy Spirit, and
not from human wisdom and good
exhortation (Acts 1:7-8).
4. Not everyone who hears the Gospel will
be saved (Romans 10:15-16).
21. The Divine Task of Evangelism
Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the
Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be
my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and
Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Rom 10:15 And how are they to preach unless
they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are
the feet of those who preach the good news!”
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the
gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed
what he has heard from us?”
22. Thank You so much!
God bless us all!
