What does Acts 13 teach us about evangelism?

Answered in 1 source

Acts 13 illustrates that evangelism is God's directive to preach the Gospel to all, resulting in the conversion of those whom He has ordained to believe.

In Acts 13, Paul and Barnabas boldly proclaim the Gospel to both Jews and Gentiles, emphasizing that evangelism is a divine command. Their preaching leads to a division among the audience, highlighting that while the message is for everyone, only those whom God has ordained to eternal life will respond positively (Acts 13:48). This reflects the Reformed understanding of the effectiveness of God's word in calling His elect from darkness into light. The sentiment is echoed in Isaiah 49, where God promises to make His Son a light to the Gentiles, symbolizing the universal nature of the Gospel message.
