Why is personal evangelism important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Personal evangelism is crucial as it fulfills the Great Commission and reflects the believer's willing response to God's grace.
Personal evangelism is not just a command but a vital expression of a believer's faith and gratitude for God's grace. Jesus instructed His followers to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20), and through personal evangelism, Christians participate in God's redemptive plan. This form of witness transcends mere obligation; it is an embodiment of being 'willing in the day of His power,' as mentioned in Psalm 110:3. The heart changed by God is naturally inclined to share the good news of salvation, demonstrating the transformative impact of grace in the believer's life. As each believer shares their faith, they also reaffirm their identity as part of God's chosen people, whose very nature is to proclaim His glory.
