Evangelism

We see from God's Word that lost sinners are offered forgiveness of all sins (past, present, and future) and eternal life as a free gift of God's grace by virtue of Christ's fully accomplished redemptive work upon the cross and His bodily resurrection. To receive these priceless gifts, one need only believe the gospel: that one is a sinner deserving God's judgment and unable by self-effort, religious ritual, or any other means to earn or merit salvation even in part: and that Christ paid the full debt that God's justice demands for man's sin. Of course, one must believe the gospel not merely as historic fact but to the extent of placing one's faith completely in the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Savior for eternity.

Christ directed His disciples to preach the good news of the gospel to everyone everywhere. This command to His original followers has become known as the "Great Commission." It is stated two ways: "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel" (Mark:16:15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
See All...); and "make disciples" (Matthew:28:19-20 [19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
See All... NASB). Those who preach the gospel are to disciple those who believe it. Born again by God's Spirit into His family (John:3:3-5 [3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. [4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
See All...; 1 John:3:2Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
