What is evangelism? Using both biblical and contemporary perspectives, he explores the nature and purpose of evangelism. Introduction This essay serves to explain what evangelization is by contextualizing it with the Bible; the contemporary world by exploring what it really means and its purpose. What is the nature and purpose of evangelism? Jesus said that I am the way of truth and life (John 14:6). If we can analyze this script, "I am the way", Jesus was telling us that his way was the way of living life, as long as we walk in the truth, that is, faithful to his way of life, following his example which is classified as a truth that leads us further to eternal life. The dictionary definition for evangelism is; someone who seeks to convert others to the Christian faith, zealous advocates for something. This is obviously a complete distortion of the truth. If the postmodern person read this definition it would create a storm, postmodern criticism undermines all levels of truth, whether it comes from the English dictionary or the Holy Bible. The English dictionaries definition of evangelism is someone who has a hidden agenda. Depending on which domain of Christianity you come from depends on the word used, but in this case we are discussing the purpose of evangelism, it comes to something when Christians can't agree on one word of God and use it universally, it doesn't matter the authors of the books. We are talking about spreading the word of God first and then demonstrating the word of God in actions; and that is when it must come out of the heart and the agape of God's love is witnessed in others. This does not necessarily mean that you have to be a Christian to be an example to God. Demonstrating the actions of Jesus is of primary importance to liberating others from... middle of paper... components of the mission and may never have a life of its own.' After reading this, it is infuriating how ecclesiology can stray so far from what Jesus Christ tried to represent. The CWME (Commission on World Missionary Evangelism) has defined evangelism as “the commission of giving to the whole Church and carrying the whole Gospel to the whole world”. It is this definition that seems most in line with God's plumb line. Conclusion In concluding everything it is concluded that the Samaritan from the biblical point of view is no different from the contemporary. The psalms of the songs are no different from the worship of contemporaries as long as they are humble before God. We have no possibility of being like God, but we have the ability to demonstrate how He would have us live and, in doing so, He will work in us, so we can give Him testimony.2135 words
