We are called by divine Scripture to the necessity of evangelism. If we are biblical we will be evangelistic. The Gospel is the centrality of the Bible. The Bible points to the Savior that was to come. We can only be acceptable to God the Father through faith. We can only know about Him unless someone tells us about Him. We see in Romans 10:14 that we ought to share the Gospel with others. The Bible requires evangelism. We ought to preach Christ crucified. The Bible in First Corinthians 1:17; 2:2 says that we ought to preach Christ crucified. We ought to draw all men unto God. We ought to not withhold God from others. God desires that everyone everywhere to repent and believe the Gospel. God has a plan of redemption. God promised to bless Abraham’s descendants with a great nation. The chosen people of God were the Israelites but He also Israel attracted to Himself non-Israelites. The non-Israelites were Ruth the Moabite, Naaman the Syrian and the people of Nineveh. God promised to send the Messiah to nations laying in darkness. Jesus became the sacrifice for human sin. It was meant that the spiritual redemption of God would be carried to all nations, peoples, tribes and tongues. Prayer and worship was held in the temple as a house of worship to all nations.
The Bible in the Great Commission calls us to make disciples of all nations. Extreme Calvinism in the five points of Tulip does not forbid evangelism. We encourage evangelism in the sharing of the Glad Tidings of the Gospel. In Acts 1, 2 17, and 21 we see Pentecost came to a different nations in one place by the Spirit in the thrust of the Good News. We see in the Book of Revelation that all nations will be seen in the kingdom of heaven. Christians have the responsibility to share the Good News to everyone in every place. We know that evangelism means missions.
We have the responsibility to share the Good News with everyone from every believer. We ought to confess Christ in word and deed. We ought to confess Christ in daily life. The Spirit of God works with us in evangelism. Evangelism should be a natural result of our conversion. Our conversions are insufficient to bring people to Christ but we must share the love of Christ. It is incomplete because it is expressed in words only but we ought to live the Christian life. We must explain the Gospel of Glad Tidings to every lost soul. We ought to share the unified imputed righteousness by faith alone in Christ alone. God will draw all kinds of men to Himself in His sovereignty through evangelism. Amen.
