How does God's sovereignty relate to evangelism?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty assures us that He is in control of the process of evangelism and the outcome of salvation.

Believing in the sovereignty of God profoundly impacts how Christians approach evangelism. Knowing that God is sovereign means that He has preordained those whom He will call to Himself and that our efforts are part of His divine plan. As the sermon stressed, while our responsibility is to share the gospel and proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ to all, the actual act of salvation is solely the work of the Holy Spirit. This understanding encourages believers not to be discouraged by apparent failures in evangelism, as it is God who draws His elect. In John 6:44, Jesus states that no one can come to Him unless the Father draws him, emphasizing that divine initiative is essential in the process of coming to faith.
