Reflection Paper On Evangelism

1490 Words3 Pages

Introduction Evangelism is one of the key component for changing people’s lives. McRaney states, “The word evangelism comes from a combination of Greek words for “good” and “messenger.” Evangelism involves bringing the goods. Kent Hunter reminded us that “when Christians witness, they tell how Jesus Christ has changed their own lives. The change in their own lives gives them the desires to share the Good News with others.” Christians must share their testimony to people and spread the gospel so that they can bring lost souls to Christ. God has commissioned every Christian to evangelize so that people will learn about Jesus Christ and accept Him as their personal savior. Matthew 28:19 states, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. Christians are required to spread the Gospel throughout the world and can no longer just attend church. Christians must plant seeds and water the seeds so that lost souls will be saved. Christians need to realize that people are dying every day and do not know Jesus Christ. We as Christians need to focus on what God has commissioned us to do in our …show more content…

I was afraid, but I continued to pray and asked God for directions. Fay states, “God has called each of us to share our faith, in obedience. He has called each of us to evangelize. If one of your excuses for not sharing your faith is, “I don’t have the gift of evangelism,” then you need to examine Scripture. You find the command of the Great Commission to evangelize, to encourage evangelism, and to urge evangelism.” I really enjoyed spreading the gospel because it gives me joy. I am willing to meet the needs of people when given the opportunity. I love God and I love people. I am willing to go where God wants me to

  • Evangelism: The Christian Duty to Share Faith

    1482 Words  | 3 Pages

    In a survey conducted in 2012, LifeWay.com inquired about the importance of evangelism among members of the Christian faith. The results of the survey showed that 80 percent of people who claimed to follow Jesus Christ and had openly devoted themselves to the teaching of Christianity, felt that they had a “personal responsibility to share their religious views and beliefs about Jesus Christ with non-christians” (Wilke, LifeWay.com). Surveys such as this reflect the Christian doctrine of evangelism and the weight it holds within the Christian faith. As can be seen back in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus Christ commanded His followers “to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19).” However, Jesus never told His followers how doing this.

  • Revitalizing Today's Christian Engagement with the World

    763 Words  | 2 Pages

    Many people believe that today’s Christians are too sheltered and oblivious to the real world around them. When asked, many outsiders compared today’s Christians to “The Titanic - a ship about to sink, but unaware of its fate” or “a hobby that diverts people’s attention” (Kinnaman 120). It is important Christians to not just stay secluded in one group (church group), but to be talking to others (outsiders) so we are aware of the problems and thing that are going on in the world around us. As Christians we are called to be disciples of Jesus by reaching out to those in need, praying for those around us, and calling people to become the church. In “Unchristian” David Kinnaman outlines three main things we as Christians should include in our lives: accepting responsibility, not being fearful, helping the desperate, being prepared, and keeping a balance.

    According to a recent article, “1.5 billion people are without the full Bible in their first language” (“What’s been done”). This statistic shows that there are many people in the world who do not have a way to learn about Christ . We need people who are willing to go and spread the word to people who do not have these Bible translations. To spread the word of God, Christians need to understand how many people already know about God, how to spread the word in places like the 10/40 Window, and how to get missionaries into remote areas so people can who do not already know about Jesus can learn more about Him and become followers of Christ.

    It is not just about evangelism, but it is also about being present where God has you a presence. The most authentic example found in scripture is the life of Jesus Christ. Jesus was everywhere. He went to the synagogue and temple, the lake, the park, the blue collar workers home, the home of the rich. He walked in the city, the country, He slept in beds, in dirt, ate what was given to Him. In summary, “He was where we are. He listened to people talk about their lives, their problems, their health issues, their ideologies, and their politics. His feet were dirty, His hands were dirty, to sum it up, He was where we are.” In portraying these qualities, then I believe we as the church can lead millennials out of worldliness into

  • Christ In Comparison From The First To Twenty-First Century

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John. 1:1) Jesus stated himself, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” (Revelation. 22:13) Jesus’ name is never-ending and filled with power and authority. One can see him still present in the twenty-first century as he was in the first. However, mankind has become too comfortable in their sin for too long. To establish the first century in comparison to the twenty-first, is too much to cover that it is condensed into small pieces and both pro and cons will be elaborated. Firstly, communicating evangelism in action is vital and is still continually done even as the generations change. For the Bible states, “…The everlasting God, the

  • Reflection Paper On Religion

    1274 Words  | 3 Pages

    Islam is often viewed as a religious tradition which originates from the seventh century. An important part of Islam is based on the prophet Muhammad, and the great revelations in which he received from God, according to the Quran. However, it is most important to realize that Muslims do not view Islam as a new religion. Muslims believe that Allah is the same God who revealed himself to Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Therefore, Jews, Christians, and Muslims are all followers of the same living God. Muslims believe that the Quran is the final and complete revelation of God to all people. It is not easy for some people to accept the fact that God exists when there have been so many throughout history. You cannot also say if someone’s religion is right or wrong or the God they believe in is a “Supreme” god. Why Islam and not Christianity? Why Hinduism and not Judaism? Every one of them different and they vary from one another; they have different rules and are all passionate about their belief. But the fact still remains that there is one who is above all and he is God. God is Omnipresent, omnipotent, and Benevolent.

    As a student at the University of Portland, who has now spent a semester living amidst the Catholic culture, I have started to think about religion fundamentally different than prior to this year. Theology class has been enlightening. In class, a new external lens of how one can view faith while learning to think critically in the search of truth has been presented. The inquisitiveness in me has led me to ask hard questions regarding myself, my perceptions, my misconceptions, and even some heartfelt convictions while contemplating my faith. I have experienced legitimate struggles. I acknowledge I have ignorant barriers keeping me from totally living a life with God and for God due to the confusion of exactly what that means. “All truths are
