Sermon called to evangelize
1. Why evangelize?
Christians evangelize because they believe that Jesus Christ commanded them to do so in the Bible. In the book of Matthew, for example, Jesus gives the Great Commission to his disciples, saying, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19). The evangelism is a way of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with others and helping them to come to know and follow him.
Evangelism is also seen as a way of fulfilling the mission of the church, which is to spread the gospel message throughout the world. God desires all people to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4), and that evangelism is one of the means by which this can be accomplished.
Evangelize out of love and compassion for others. The message of Jesus Christ has the power to transform lives and bring hope, healing, and salvation to people who are lost or struggling. By sharing the gospel with others, seek to offer them the opportunity to experience the same grace and forgiveness that they have received through faith in Christ.

3. How to do personal evangelism?
Personal evangelism involves building relationships with individuals and sharing the gospel message with them in a one-on-one setting. Here are some steps and Bible verses that can guide personal evangelism:
1. Pray: Begin by praying for the person you want to share the gospel with and for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in your conversation (Ephesians 6:18-19).
2. Build a relationship: Take the time to get to know the person, listen to their story, and show genuine care and compassion for them (1 Corinthians 9:22-23).
3. Share your testimony: Share how Jesus Christ has made a difference in your own life and explain what it means to have a personal relationship with him (Acts 22:3-16).
4. Explain the gospel: Use simple and clear language to explain the message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, emphasizing his death and resurrection and the need for repentance and faith (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
5. Invite a response: Give the person an opportunity to respond to the gospel message by asking if they are interested in placing their faith in Jesus Christ (John 1:12-13; Revelation 3:20).
6. Follow up: If the person expresses interest, follow up with them, answer their questions, and encourage them in their faith journey (2 Timothy 2:2).
Remember that personal evangelism should be done with love, respect, and sensitivity to the other person's beliefs and feelings. As 1 Peter 3:15-16 says, "But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience."
