Day 4 - 40 Days of Focus: Evangelism
Day 4
Evangelism is a lifestyle, not an activity.
Evangelism is sharing the good news, not trying to convert others.
When you begin to understand what evangelism really is and isn’t much of the fear, although not all of it, melts away. Look at what Jesus says in Acts 1:8, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” We are asked to be witnesses. That means we share our story. A witness tells what they know. Our biggest problem is that we think that we need to convince people. Our second largest problem is that we think our story isn’t worth telling. Maybe we need to relax and get back to basics.
Can you imagine evangelism as a combination of living a victorious lifestyle and intentionally inviting others to hear your story? Does that sound like something you could do?
