Bible Question: what is an evangelist and what is the work of an evangelist |
Bible Answer: Greetings Evangelist! "The word "evangelism" comes from the Greek verb evangelizomai, which means "proclaim the good news." Hence, evangelism involves proclaiming to other people the Gospel (or good news) of salvation in Jesus Christ (Luke 15; John 3:16; Romans 5:8; 10:14-15; Ephesians 4:11; 2 Timothy 4:5; 2 Peter 3:9). Evangelism is not a task to be left in the hands of the professionals only (pastors and ministers), but rather all Christians are called to be ambassadors for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17-21)." "As for the content of the Gospel message, the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 said: "For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures." The 'Gospel,' according to this passage, has four components: 1) Man is a sinner. 2) Christ is the Savior. 3) Christ died as man's substitute. 4) Christ rose from the dead. "This is the Gospel Paul and the other apostles preached; it is the Gospel we too must preach."
