Why should we evangelise?
Posted On: 01/28/2007 08:07:25
Many are deeply concerned for the lost, for Those that do not know Jesus. They are after all described in scripture as God's enemies, with the wrath Of God abiding upon them. They have broken his Ten Commandments and are therefore depraved, cut off from God. They follow the devil as the God of this age and not the God of the Bible.

We see that a good and just God must have a day of reckoning or judgment. This makes sense. If we, as fallen beings establish courts and yearn to see a guilty criminal punished or locked away, for his or her crimes so that justice is done, and others are protected, then how much more with God.

So why should we evangelise? Is it to see people saved from hell? is it because it because we will feel better or look good in front of other chistians? No. None of these are the primary motive for evangelism.

We should evangelise for one reason and one reason only. Because Jesus told us to. We want to see his glory revealed. we want to see God glorified. Anything else can become humanism in disguise.

We do not want to just see mans life improved in this life, but God's glory increased and revealed. Obey for this reason and you will not fail to be blesssed by God.

So should we not care about the fate of the lost as we preach? yes ofcourse we should. But our primary focus must be on God's glory. His will and plans. If we do this we will be rewarded, and our evangelism will not become man centered, but God honouring.

we love sinners, because we first love God. The next question is, how do we evangelise?

i will try to answer this soon. Yes there is a right way and a wrong way to evangelise.

God bless you as you serve God, the right way so he can be glorified, and sinners can be saved.
