How should Christians approach evangelism according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
Christians should approach evangelism with the intent to share the gospel out of love, not obligation or fear of judgment.
Evangelism should be approached as an overflow of gratitude for God's grace and a desire to point others to the Savior rather than a checklist of duties. The Gospel, fundamentally good news, brings hope, and its proclamation should reflect our love for Christ and His work in us (1 Peter 3:15).
Christians are not called to use coercive methods or fleshly strategies, as these undermine the truth of the gospel. Instead, we must rely on the Holy Spirit's guidance and timing, sharing the message of grace with integrity and humility. This approach aligns with our understanding of God's sovereignty in salvation, recognizing that it is ultimately God who draws individuals to Himself. In all discussions of evangelism, we must remain mindful to not bind the consciences of fellow believers regarding methods or results, but encourage genuine expressions of faith that flow from knowing and loving Christ.
