How do we know God's purpose for evangelism?

Answered in 1 source

God's purpose for evangelism is to glorify Himself by saving sinners and proclaiming His holiness and mercy.

God's sovereignty in the plan of salvation provides a profound understanding of His purpose for evangelism. The Bible teaches that God desires all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9) and has equipped His church to proclaim the gospel as a means to that end. Evangelism serves to demonstrate the glory of God as both just and merciful. It reflects His holiness by warning sinners of judgment while simultaneously offering mercy through Jesus Christ. Thus, understanding evangelism's purpose involves recognizing it as a command from our sovereign God, who desires His glory to be made known through the salvation of His elect. Romans 10:14-15 further emphasizes that preaching the gospel is a means through which God draws His chosen people to Himself.
