EVANGELISM IS FOR ALL CHRISTIANS

EVANGELISM IS FOR ALL CHRISTIANS
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
“Repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations….And you are witnesses of these things” (Luke 24:47–48).
DAILY FIRE!
An evangelist’s job is to win people for Christ, not preach to sleeping Christians and revive dead churches!

Some people regard an evangelist as a revivalist: that is, someone who gives a church a good rousing shake-up about once a year. 

An evangelist’s job is to win people for Christ, not to preach to sleeping Christians and revive dead churches! An evangelist’s ministry is misdirected if it is aimed at the saints of God. 

The New Testament from Acts onwards makes evangelism the natural function of all those who follow Christ. In fact, evangelism is following Christ, for that is what He mainly did. 

Evangelism is part of Christianity; as light belongs to the sun. A believer has no option: he must be engaged in telling others about his faith; or in some way be involved in that business. Witnessing is the business of the Christian faith. 

The church is the “society for the propagation of the gospel.” In its beginnings, people joined it expecting to be witnesses, although the risks were high. All religions have their sacred obligations: Sikhs must wear a turban, Hindus must avoid animal fats, Muslims repeat their sacred prayer. 

Christian sensitivities have their roots in the sacred obligation to witness to Christ. Witnessing is an essential part of our faith. Activate that in your life today.
