And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Mark 16:15
Before Jesus ascended back to Heaven, he gave us “marching orders” called the Great Commission. Preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the entire world! How many Christians are actually doing this?
Well we live in a “Politically Correct” world we don’t want to offend anyone! Wrong, Jesus and all his disciples died for sharing the gospel
Well isn’t this the pastors job? Wrong, the Bible tells us by the blood of Christ we have all been made priests for Christ (Revelation 1:6) (1 Peter 2:9)
So why don’t more Christians obey the Great Commission as Jesus commanded? Biblical Illiteracy. If Jesus is really your Lord, wouldn’t you want to learn more about him? This is what really started my passion for studying the Bible, was just wanting to know everything about Jesus. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide and teach you as you study the scriptures
Now I believe God has called certain people to become “Teachers” of the Word of God (James 3:1) however that shouldn’t stop anyone of us from studying the Bible and asking a lot of questions to other Christians and Pastors.
He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. Mark 16:16
The early Apostles were not seminary graduates, meaning you don’t have to go to Bible College to spread the Gospel of Christ. Use your testimony as evidence , keep it simple focusing on the death and resurrection of Christ. Remember we personally don’t save anyone, God saves them. Allow the Holy Spirit to mediate between you and your audience.
Whoever Believes in Jesus will be saved, preach the gospel to everyone in Jesus Name Amen!
Our biggest road block is fear; fear of the gospel, fear of not doing it right, fear of what others think…..

To God ALL the glory. Actually, the devotional I was referring to is this one. I linked the wrong one. But I am sure it relates to evangelism as well. 🙂 https://lighthousedevotions.blog/2018/08/21/saving-starfish/
