What does the Bible say about the purpose of evangelism?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible emphasizes that evangelism aims to proclaim God's grace and the salvation of His elect for His glory.

The purpose of evangelism, as expressed in scripture, revolves around the glory of God and the salvation of His chosen people. Isaiah 40 highlights the comforting message that gospel preachers are to deliver, which reassures the elect that their sins are pardoned and their warfare is accomplished. It is through the proclamation of this message that we reveal God's glory, as it brings attention to His grace in saving sinners. The overarching aim of evangelism is not merely to gain more followers or build church membership, but to glorify God by faithfully declaring His truths, which have eternal significance and life-transforming power for those who believe.
