1 | Our Motive for Evangelism | 2 Cor 3:2 | DocTrinsograce | 176114 | ||
"Love for God is the only sufficient motive for evangelism. Self-love will give way to self-centeredness; love for the lost will fail with those whom we cannot love, and when difficulties seem insurmountable. Only a deep love for God will keep us following His way, declaring His gospel, when human resources fail. Only our love for God -- and, more important, His love for us -- will keep us from the dangers which beset us. When the desire for the popularity with men, or for the success in human terms, tempts us to water down the gospel, to make it palatable, then only if we love God will we stand fast by His truth and His ways." --John Cheesman (1972) | ||||||
2 | Our Motive for Evangelism | 2 Cor 3:2 | kalos | 176115 | ||
Doc: Thanks for sharing that excellent and timely quotation and also for your previous post, "What Is Evangelism?" When will people learn that "revival" doesn't come to town in the suitcase of an "evangelist"? For that matter, when will people learn what revival really is, as opposed to the popular notion of what it means? True biblical revival does not involve seeing sinners saved. How do you revive what was not there to begin with? As I understand it, true revival is a revival of repentance among the saints, God's people. Grace to you, John |

Dear Brother Kalos, Thank you for your encouragement. You're right about revival! Judgment begins in the church (1 Peter 4:17). In Him, Doc |
