Scripture About Evangelism
Our Call to Share
As believers, we recognize that sharing the good news is not just a duty; it’s a beautiful opportunity! We are called to be the messengers of hope and love. When we embrace the concept of evangelism, we understand that it means more than just preaching; it involves our lives shining as examples of Christ’s love. Every conversation can be a moment to share our faith and impact someone’s life positively. When we evangelize, we don’t do it alone. God is with us, guiding our words and actions, leading others to Him.

Our experiences can resonate with others, providing encouragement and making the concepts of faith more relatable and understandable.

Reaching Out in Love
At the heart of evangelism is love. We are called to love others just as Christ loved us. This love motivates us to reach out, breaking barriers and building bridges.
