Few Christians know what it means to evangelize. Most Christians seem to ignore the call to evangelize. Others will base their entire faith on evangelism. One of the sacraments of Jehovah’s Witnesses is to share the gospel. The great commission is important, but there’s so much more to Christ’s life.
The word Christian means to be Christ like. To believe in Christianity means to have a drive to follow in Christ’s footsteps. We do this through one basic principal; to have a heart of love. Christ commanded us to love him, and equally as important, to love our neighbor. In our loving heart, comes out our evangelism.
Many Christians miss this important aspect of love, which implies to create a relationship before attempting to cause influence. How can one influence without the credibility of a shared love? In order to influence, the other has to share in a mutual love.
This will make our testimony so much stronger. We will no longer be afraid to bring up the subject of Christ, because there will be a bond built around trust. Christ will shine through us, and they will see him in us.
“We are never alone when we seek to communicate the truth about Jesus,” Jerram Barrs, author of “The Heart of Worship,” asserts.
God is always with us. If we trust in him with our entire life, his love will shine through us. Those around us will see that. His truth is undeniable. His love covers all. And through a Christ filled heart, others will listen.
