Let's Start Today!

Have you been thinking about a better way to share the love of Jesus Christ with friends or family? Even those you do not know? Well, sharing your faith about Jesus isn't that hard or scary, especially with the proper tools and training. So, when you hear the word 'evangelism,' what comes to mind? Maybe nothing or a vague idea. Nevertheless, let's answer a simple question, “What is evangelism?”

Evangelism is derived from the Greek word for 'messenger' or 'angel', but, simply means preaching or telling the 'good news' or the 'gospel'.

The essence of Christianity is based in the fact that, we, as believers, should be excited to tell others about Jesus Christ. About our new life. Remember, the reason Christ died for all mankind, was to take away the sins of the world; and redeem us from death, hell and the grave. He did just that. But, he also gave us work to do.

By accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior, we have a wonderful opportunity to share with others. Just like telling a friend about the TV show “Dancing with the Stars.” Many people are excited to watch celebrities and entertainers dance, week after week. These dancers perform following weeks of training and conditioning. People often watch the show, admiring the skill, grace and talent of the men and women dancing. Others watch the show thinking, “I could do that, too, under the right circumstances.”

Well, with the proper evangelism tools, we, too, can share with others our faith in Jesus. The Pocket Testament League (PTL) can help us grow in this area. Also, our testimony of what the Lord has done in our lives – whether it is a healing, a deliverance from alcohol, tobacco or drugs; or, whether the Lord comforted us during a financial disaster, job loss, divorce, abuse, death of a loved one, etc., can be a blessing to an unbeliever.

Really, evangelism is not hard at all. Just beginning a conversation with someone about his or her interests or family is a great start. Meeting for coffee or walking the trail is another possibility. A word of encouragement to reach someone who is contemplating giving up, is powerful. Only God knows man's heart. Our assignment is to be obedient.

John 8:32 says, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Free from the slavery of sin. Isn't that what we all want in our lives? And don't we desire that for our loved ones and others?

Whenever the opportunity presents itself, you can develop your techniques or skills, or just start from scratch, with free evangelism training from a reputable and knowledge source, such as the PTL. Great resources are available for all. And, in addition to bible-based, free evangelism training materials, the daily devotionals that PTL offers can be extremely helpful in one's own walk with the Lord. Start today.
