What does the Bible say about election and evangelism?

The doctrine of election is affirmed throughout Scripture, emphasizing God's sovereign choice in salvation (Romans 8:29-30). However, believers are also called to evangelize, sharing the gospel with all people as God's agents in this fallen world. As John MacArthur highlights, we should not assume that election negates the necessity for evangelism; rather, it motivates it. We engage in evangelism because we are compelled by Christ’s love and driven by the desire to see others come to faith. Thus, while God is ultimately sovereign over who believes, we are responsible for declaring the gospel faithfully to everyone.
