Evangelism
Bear witness to the good news of Jesus.
What it is
Evangelism is bearing witness to the good news of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection with your words and your life (Matthew 28:18-20; 2 Corinthians 5:20).
Why God gives it
God gives evangelism because the gospel is meant for other people as well as for you. It forms courage and a clearer love for neighbors who need Christ. You don't need all the answers, because the gospel itself is the power of God for those who believe (Romans 1:16).
Common distortions
Evangelism gets distorted when it becomes pressure, argument-winning, or treating people like projects. Faithful witness is patient and truthful, and it cares about the person in front of you.

Remember the gospel
You are not responsible for changing anyone's heart. God saves. Your part is to love people honestly and bear witness to Christ with dependence on the Spirit.
