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 for other people, not just for private comfort. It forms courage, compassion, and clearer love for neighbors who need Christ — not because you have all the answers, but because the gospel itself is the power of God for those who believe.
Common distortions
Evangelism gets distorted when it becomes pressure, argument-winning, or treating people like projects. Faithful witness is truthful, patient, and human.
How to begin in Bearing Fruit
Set an evangelism rhythm in Bearing Fruit, pray for one specific person, and use the Journal to keep names and next conversations in view. When witness needs to take the form of practical charity, Service Ideas can help you move toward people well.
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.
