Art of Personal Evangelism

Personal evangelism is sharing the gospel message with others in order to lead them to salvation. It is important for local church growth as many sinners do not attend church, so church members must go out and preach to them where they are. Neglecting personal evangelism can result in sinners' blood being required from those who do not witness, and Christ being ashamed of Christians who do not share their faith. Commitment is needed for effective personal evangelism, as Jesus was committed to sharing the gospel, and believers must make efforts like prayer and study to sustain their zeal for sharing their faith with others.

ART OF PERSONAL EVANGELISM

Memory verse: Acts 1:8b ‘…. And ye shall be witness unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea…’

Text: mark 16: 15-20

Personal evangelism is the person to person sharing of the gospel of Christ to sinners with the aim of leading them
to salvation. For a local church to grow, the members must go and preach the word right where sinners are. Manny
sinners do not go to church; therefore, the church must go out to meet them where they are.

CONSEQUENCES OF NEGLECTTNG PERSONAL EVANGELISM


Sinners cannot get saved without the preaching of the gospel. It is the soul winner's duty to preach to
them. The implication of neglecting personal evangelism include
- Requirement of sinners' blood from negligent soul winners. Ezekie! 3:17-21
- Christ being ashamed of Christians that neglect to witness. Mark 8: 38

COMPELLING NECESSITY OF PERSONAL EVANGELISM


Mark 5: 18-20, Luke 10: 1-9
Personal evangelism is a compelling necessity for any every believer. It is not the will of God that anyone
should perish: he wants all men to be saved. The Lord Jesus Christ was only involved in personal
evangelism but also sent out his disciples to do so. They were to preach to every creature everywhere. Paul
the apostle said, "for though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon
me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel" (1 Corinthians 9:16), To him, souls are more valuable
than any other thing in the world.

COMMITEMENT NEEDED FOR PERSONAL EVANGELISM


Commitment is an act of devoting oneself entirely to a given cause until the goal is achieved. Personal
evangelism requires individual commitment. Cur Lord Jesus Christ was personally committed to it. He said, "I
must work the works of him that send me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work" (John
9:4). Every spiritual effort must be made in order to sustain the zeal and fire for personal evangelism. This
could be done through constant praying, yielding to the promptings of the Spirit to preach, regular reading
of literature and listening to messages on evangelism, making deliberate plan to preach the gospel everyday.

CONCLUSION
"For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe unto me, if I
preach not the gospel!" (1 Corinthians 9:16)
