Age of the evangelism movement
Matthew 16:15~16 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

The crosses that brightened the dark night are steadily disappearing. For many, Christianity has become just another religion and an unappealing one at that. Meanwhile, the world is suffering from drug abuse, depression, and mental illness. This is the age we are living in; therefore, we must consider what evangelism is and why we must do the evangelism movement.
1. What the world needs
All humankind separated from God and lives amidst suffering, deceived by Satan. Without saving them, neither the nation nor the age will be able to avert disaster. However, many people think of Jesus Christ as one of the many prophets and religious leaders. Not only that, they live their lives unable to enjoy the blessings God has given them due to their own motives and long-standing spiritual problems. Unless it is Jesus Christ, not only will you not be able to save people, you will not even be able to save yourself.
2. What to confess today
To us who struggle with money, hanging on to every cent, and are shaken each time a problem appears, Jesus came and asked a question. “Who do you say I am?” Even now, Satan deceives us. Satan is not our master. However, he deceives us and acts like he actually is our master. Just make a resolution today. Jesus Christ is the only one who can overcome Satan’s authority. Just pray that Jesus Christ will become the master of your life, the church, and the entire world.
3. What you have already received
If we have made our resolution regarding Jesus Christ, then God has already given us the blessing of establishing His church on the rock and not letting the gates of Hades overcome us. Furthermore, He gave us the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Since we are weak, we must save the world and the church with the blessings God has given us. If we meditate daily on the pulpit message, find today’s answer, and pray for the disciples whom God has prepared, then the evangelism movement to save this age will continue on.
