The Bible presents evangelism as proclaiming the Gospel of Christ and the good news of salvation, which is rooted in God's actions, not human decisions.
Scripture teaches that evangelism is fundamentally the announcement of the good news, which is Christ's redemptive work for His people. Ephesians 1:6 emphasizes that the purpose of salvation glorifies God's grace, not human conversion efforts. Genuine evangelism centers on proclaiming that Christ has redeemed His people and that belief is a response to that reality (Matthew 1:21). Thus, the true meaning of evangelism is not about converting individuals through methods but rather sharing the accomplished work of Christ and trusting in God's sovereignty to bring His sheep to faith at the appointed time (Romans 10:15).
