God’s love. His love for us (1 John 4:10 ) and his love in us (Romans 5:5) moves me to love the world as He does (John 3:16 ).

Christ’s Call. Jesus tells us to go (Matthew 28:19) and commissions us into ministry of reconciling the lost to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:19 ).

The Holy Spirit’s Power. Acts 1:8 promises spiritual power for our evangelistic task. Remember, ultimately it’s His work to convict of sin, bring new birth, and mature a believer in Christ
(John 16:8).

A Great Responsibility. We are God’s ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20 ); we’re also God’s co-workers (1 Corinthians 3:9). Reaching others for Christ is a big job, but we have a big God at our side.

A Great Privilege. Like those Jesus has touched (the Samaritan woman in John 4 and the man born blind in John 9), we respond by wanting to share His touch with others.

Lost People. Ephesians 2:1 is clear: People are dead in their sins. They also are blinded by Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4). Without Christ, people are in dire need.

Hell’s Reality. As much as we shy away from it, Jesus taught the reality of hell
(Luke 16:19-31), and the apostles preached it (Acts 2:36-41). Evangelism is a matter of eternal life or death.

Heaven’s Reality. When one person is saved there is joy in heaven (Luke 15). We, too, experience great joy when someone becomes a follower of Christ (1 Thessalonians 2:19 -20). This taste of heaven’s joy moves us to share the good news with others.
