Evangelism through your life
1 Corinthians 16:19~24 The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house. All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss. (19~20)

It is important to listen to, find, and put into action God’s Word, even if it is just a small part of the Word. When you are thankful for the extremely small things and the things that are nearby, you can see the big answers. If that is the case, what can you put into action in your interpersonal relationships today? As you live your life today, what should you put into action?
1. You must concretely experience answers.
First, you must live the lifestyle of the evangelist. In order to do so, first, you must grab hold of the Word that God has given you. To receive answers in more detail, it is a very important habit to record things. At this time, prayer topics come out and you will even discover answers. Second, you must do your studies and all your work through the lifestyle of the evangelist and in the midst of the answers that come. Third, you must have a sense of specialty in your life. With your sense of specialty, if you seek out the answers of the evangelist and get a taste of this in your lifestyle, that life has no choice but to succeed.
2. There is something you must relay.
Your walk of faith is not something that is unusual. It is important to live it in the most normal way. In particular, you must teach a normal walk of faith even more so to your future descendents and new believers. Also, looking out towards your past, present and future, you must grab hold of the Gospel. Correctly know what your past is about, lay down the conclusion through the Gospel that the hardship you are facing right now stems from a problem from the great deceptions of your past that persisted for so long, make your past into a platform and live your best today. You can find your future in your present reality. Lastly, you must teach the Gospel, prayer and evangelism in a way that is easy, simple and correct. In order to solve all our sins and weaknesses, Christ died on the cross, and by believing in Him, you became a child of God. You are relaying this fact to all people.
3. You must show three things.
First is the Gospel without motives, evangelism and prayer. This absolutely appears as an answer through the working of the Holy Spirit. Second, you must discern what is best. It is beyond the commonsense you think about. Although you must accurately see what is physical, there is something spiritual that surpasses that. It is precisely seeing the plan of God. Lastly, you are a body that completes the body of Christ. All believers are the body of Christ. If you are not able to realize this, you will lose hold of the important answers.
- Even if it is for a short time, find the Word given to you today, and take the time to grab hold of that Word. Also, have the time to confirm how the answers of the Word come to you.
