Evangelism

What Evangelism Is.

Evangelism is a proclamation of the Gospel for the purpose of salvation for those that hear this good news.

Gospel review

God, being holy, created us in his image. We as the image bearers rebelled against him attempting to put us in the position of God. This rebellion was a sin and separated us from him, destined us to death, bearing the wrath of God, with no way to restore our relationship with God. God, being love, desires a relationship with us. So He sent his son Jesus to become man live a sinless life, becoming the perfect atoning sacrifice. With Jesus’s death those who believe in Jesus, accept Him as their Lord, repent , and live a life in God’s grace and mercy.
