Every Church at some point encourages their members to engage in witnessing for Christ. But sometimes we wonder exactly what is evangelism?
Many are satisfied to leave evangelism to others. They feel no personal urgency to lead someone to Christ. They should carefully consider the following insight: “There will be no one saved in heaven with a starless crown. If you enter, there will be some soul in the courts of glory that has found an entrance there through your instrumentality” (Last Day Events, 282.3). Simply put, evangelism is the way to save one’s soul! Paul told Timothy, “Take heed unto thyself, and to the doctrine; continue you in them: for in so doing thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee” (1 Tim. 4:16). The person you lead to Christ is your “entrance ticket” to the kingdom, so to speak! None can enter alone! Dear reader, let us decide now to awake from our slumber and save ourselves and them that hear us! How? Evangelism!
In these waning hours of earth’s history God’s church must remember that heaven is waiting on it to do its duty in order that Christ may come to initiate the eschatological events connected to the final eradication of sin! For the church to delay this cosmic event through ignorance and/or neglect of evangelism is a disservice to heaven and earth.
