Preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ in Hi
God's Plan:
Isaiah 42 verses 1-4: Jesus Christ did not so much discouraged that all nations will not be evangelized (not to be confused with "Christianized").
Matthew 13 verses 4-9 + 18 to 23: The sower, the seed and the field: The 4 states of the human heart and the different reactions to them the gospel.
Matthew 28 verses 18-20: Jesus Christ has all the powers, not only on earth but in heaven. Evangelizing the world is a command and not advice, it is the mission of the church.
Mark 16 verses 15 & 16: "Go into all the world ..." Any genuine Christian, even if not evangelist should have lost the vision of the world.
Acts 1 verse 8: All those who received the Holy Spirit bear witness to Jesus Christ. By the way we live and our words of wisdom and compassion. The testimony is not a gift, but it is to tell people what the Lord has done for us.
Evangelist:
Luke 4 v 18 & 19: Jesus is the Evangelist perfect, it is itself the subject of the Good News. We preach Jesus Christ crucified and risen.
Acts 8 v 5-12: Philip the Evangelist is typical of the New Testament: with the Samaritans in public or in private (personal contact) with a minister Africa. Acts 8 v 26 to 38. He has the gift of evangelist. Acts 26 v 8.
Acts 20 v 20 & 21: Do not hide the message of God, (in public and private). Do not forget to mention eternal damnation.
1 Corinthians 1 v 17 to 1 Cor 2 v 5: The message in all its power and simplicity. It is essential to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 11 v 4: Beware of false gospels (conversion without repentance, conversion sentimental prosperity Gospel ... )
Conclusion:
Although we are not evangelical, we should all have the burden of lost souls, and show us around. We can also pray for
evangelists and missionaries, encourage, support them and welcome them when they are passing through our city or village. Let all the earth be filled with knowledge of the LORD! Amen.
