What is My Role in Evangelism?
August 4, 2008 · Print This Article
Perspective in evangelism is crucial and the right attitude and perspective can make a big difference in how you approach evangelistic opportunities. Perhaps you have said something like, “I am afraid to share Christ because I might be rejected” or “If I say the wrong thing, my friend might be lost forever,” or “I don’t have the gift of evangelism, so God can’t use me.”
Be assured that you are not alone. For many believers evangelism is the weakest part of their Christian life – not because they don’t care about the lost or don’t want to share the gospel, but because of a misunderstanding about their role in evangelism. Attitude affects action. Perspective affects performance.
Evangelism is all about being obediant to Gods word and if we really believe what we preach then we have an obligation to share the message because of the consequences for those who do not believe. I speak to many of these issues as well at

I think that it is important to remember that we are not the ones that save people. Only the Holy Spirit can do that. Our responsibility is to share the Gospel in a clear and simple manner. This helps to relieve a lot of stress and temptation to cloud the Gospel with smooth speech and unbiblical tactics.
