1 Corinthians 1:18~31 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. (21)

Many people think a person needs to be eloquent or knowledgeable to be good at evangelism. However, evangelism is not something you do through one’s own power. The core of evangelism is “only Christ.” If you have gained the answer to your life through Jesus Christ, you simply need to relay that answer. God has called you as a fisher of men.Matthew 4:19 God gives you spiritual strength so that you have no choice but to evangelize and gives you the blessing of souls being saved when you evangelize. How can we experience the great power of evangelism?


1. Only at that time
Whenever the Gospel became faint, disasters and destruction followed. At every such time, God called evangelists who spread the Gospel. In order to save the age in which the Gospel has become faint, God has called you as an evangelist. Knowing your inadequacy and weakness, He gives you strength to evangelize through the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, He grants you meetings with people who are dying because they do not know the Gospel and opens the door of evangelism. When you enjoy the filling of the Holy Spirit, you will shine the light of Christ in the evangelism field.


2. Only that content
The first thing that happens when you proclaim only Jesus Christ is the working of the Holy Spirit. Also, disasters that have come in the field crumble, and the forces of darkness are bound. This is the authority God has given to His children. Also, the kingdom of God comes upon every place where the children of God go, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed. Evangelism is not difficult. When you relay the mystery of only Jesus Christ, all authority and blessings will come upon you.


3. Only that method
The people who staked their lives on evangelism gathered in Mark’s upper room and the Antioch Church. The individuals were lacking and weak, but when they realized the value of the Gospel and proclaimed the Word, the door of world evangelization was opened. Also, they used their occupation as a tool for evangelism and did their best before God. At that time, God’s blessings came upon their businesses and finances. When every part of your life becomes a method for evangelism, God will bless you.
