“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
— Acts 1:8 (NKJV)
Evangelism is not reserved for pastors, missionaries, or trained preachers. It is the calling of every follower of Jesus Christ. To be a Christian is to be a witness—someone who carries the message of hope, salvation, and new life wherever they go.
What Is the Gospel?
At its heart, the Gospel is simple, powerful, and life-changing:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
— John 3:16 (NKJV)
The Gospel is the good news that:
God loves humanity
Sin separated us from God
Jesus Christ died and rose again to save us
Salvation is available to all who believe
“Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel… that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day.”
— 1 Corinthians 15:1–4 (NKJV)
Why Evangelism Matters
People are searching—for meaning, peace, forgiveness, and hope. The message of Christ answers these deepest needs.
“How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?”
— Romans 10:14 (NKJV)
Evangelism is an act of love. When we share Christ, we participate in God’s redemptive plan for humanity.
You are God’s Chosen Vessel
God does not wait for perfection—He works through willing hearts.
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”
— Mark 16:15 (NKJV)
Your testimony, your kindness, your obedience, and your words can open hearts to the Gospel. Evangelism happens:
In conversations
Through acts of compassion
By living a Christ-centered life
Through bold yet loving proclamation
Overcoming Fear and Hesitation
Many believers hesitate to share their faith out of fear—fear of rejection, fear of saying the wrong thing, or fear of opposition. But God promises His presence.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
— 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
You are not alone. The Holy Spirit empowers you to speak with wisdom and love.
A Clear Call to Salvation
For those reading who have not yet given their lives to Christ, this is God’s invitation to you:
“Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
— 2 Corinthians 6:2 (NKJV)
Salvation is not earned—it is received by faith.
“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
— Romans 10:9 (NKJV)
Respond Today
God’s grace is reaching out to you right now. Wherever you are, He sees you, loves you, and desires a relationship with you.
“The Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
— 2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV)
