4 IMPORTANT TRUTHS WE CAN LEARN ABOUT EVANGELISM FROM PAUL’S CONVERSION

Paul Started Talking At Once.

Immediately he began to proclaim Jesus. For most of us there is this fear that we don’t know enough to talk to someone about Jesus. This did not stop these new converts from telling others about Jesus

Woman at the Well - John 4:28-29 “So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and said to the men, “Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?””

Healing of the man at the pool - John 5:15 “The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.”

Paul Started Talking Where He Was.

You don’t have to go to some far country or travel far distances to talk to someone about Jesus. Talk to your neighbor, friend, relative. He started in the very place he was converted, in Damascus

Andrew went and told Simon Peter his brother & Phillip wen and found his friend Nathaniel. Where are you everyday. Mt. 28:18-20 “And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.””

Paul Started Talking About What He Knew.

What did Paul know? Acts 9:3-6 & Acts 22:6-16 It was not until after he goes to Jerusalem that eh has the vision from Jesus.

What did the woman at the well tell others. John 4:29 ““Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?””

John 5:15 “The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.”

Paul Always Talked About Jesus.

immediately he began to proclaim Jesus, he is the Son of God. v. 22 he was proving that Jesus is the Christ

It was Jesus who made me well.

Paul Was Increasing In Knowledge.

Acts 9:22 “But Saul kept increasing in strength and confounding the Jews who lived at Damascus by proving that this Jesus is the Christ.”

2 Peter 1:8 “For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
