The life saving work of evangelism is the most essential work the church will do. The work of evangelism, the work of fishing for men. Men are drowning in the sea of sin all around us and our job as Christians is to throw them the only life preserver available — the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Winning the lost is God's great concern. It is Christ's great concern. And is is the Holy Spirit's great concern.
For it is the Holy Spirit who comes:
The great concern of the Trinity is evangelism, saving the lost. And so as Christians it should be our great concern also.
This is our task. Did you know that the term “evangelize,” the Greek term (euangelizō,) is used no less than 55 times in 52 verses in the New Testament?
It is all summarized, as it were, in the great commission in Matthew 28 when the Lord said, “Go into all the world,” winning people to Christ and, “baptizing them, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.”
It’s all our task. In Luke 24:47-48,
Do you notice that repentance and remission of sins were to be preached in His name among all nations, and it was only the beginning at Jerusalem? It’s to go way beyond that.
We’re all a part of that continuity. That’s why in Acts 1:8, it went a step further:
It started with the twelve.It extended to the early church in Jerusalem and then to Judea, then to Samaria, then to the world and to us. This is our work. We, too, are to follow Jesus and be fishers of men.
Fishermen learn to wait; so do we if we’re good at fishing for men. You’ve got to be patient.
They do it over and over and over and over, and they go, and they’ll come back. “Well, we didn’t catch anything, but we’ll go again,". You've got to persevere.
You can't be on the team unless you are. Make your election sure. Spurgeon said “Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you're not saved yourself, be sure of that!”
Learn how to win people to Christ. If that means getting involved in an evangelism ministry, then get involved. If that means reading the New Testament and underlining everything about evangelism and cataloging it and learning it, do it.
If this is true that means ninety-eight percent of all Christians have never led anybody to Jesus Christ. Ninety-eight percent of all the believers have never fished for men. You can hold on to the things you love in the church, but you’ve got to reach out too.
In our very love for the church, in our very love for the treasures of the Word of God, we get absorbed and the world never hears the hope that is in us. Tragic. Let it not be so!
