The Need for Evangelism
2
Introduction

• The gospel Greek euaggelion as is the good
  news of salvation made possible through Jesus
  Christ our Savior.
• An evangelist Greek euaggelistes as is a
  bringer/proclaimer of good news.
• The work of preaching is communicated through the
  Greek verb euaggelizo, a compound of eu good
  and aggelos a messenger, angel, meaning to
  announce good news 2097.

Accusation and Defense

• Modern liberalism repudiates the gospel as bad
  news, contending Christianity and the Bible are
  sources of misery, suffering, and woe.
• Nevertheless, the truth of God stands. The Gospel
  of Jesus Christ is, indeed, good news. In this
  lesson, let us consider mans universal need,
  Gods universal provision, and our universal
  responsibility.

4
Universal Need

• All have sinned (Ecclesiastes 720 Romans
  39-23 Galatians 322).
• All will die (Genesis 319 Ecclesiastes 92-6
  Romans 512).
• All will be judged (Acts 1730-31 2 Corinthians
  510-11 Revelation 2011-15).

5
Universal Provision

• Christ died for all (Isaiah 534-6 2 Corinthians
  514-15 1 Timothy 23-7).
• The Gospel must be preached to all (Matthew
  2818-20 Mark 1615-16 Luke 2444-49).

6
Universal Responsibility

• Sinners must obey the gospel (Ezekiel 1830-32
  Acts 237-42 2 Thessalonians 13-12).
• Saints must teach sinners (Mark 67-13 1
  Corinthians 919-23 2 Timothy 21-7).

7
Conclusion

• Let us obey the gospel and devote our lives to
  faithful service (2 Peter 38-18).
• Let us emulate the example of Philip the
  evangelist, who faithfully took advantage of
  opportunities for service and teaching (Acts
  62-7 84-8, 12-13, 25, 35-40 218-9).
