| Many books
have been published, talks have been
given, and workshops have been developed
with the purpose of teaching people
how to be effective evangelists. But,
more importantly than mission strategies,
in order to be effective evangelists
we must first focus on remembering
the grace that we have received from
God.
When we open our
hearts to the love of God, God pours
down His grace so abundantly that
our hearts overflow. It is from
this grace that our testimonies
flow, and it is this grace that
reaches deep into a person's spirit
and moves them to respond to God's
call. Our focus in evangelism, and
in our entire walk of faith, should
be to receive the grace of God and
share this grace with others. Only
when the grace of God enters and
transforms us can we, by the strength
and love of God, become the light
to reveal the Lord.
Rather than
getting caught up in different strategies
and techniques on how to evangelize,
let us first meditate on the love
and grace that God has shown us.
Let this grace grow in our hearts,
and then, God will do something
amazing--through us, though only
individual seeds, many fruits will
be born. Trust in the Lord, and
follow the path that Christ has
shown us--live by the Gospel and
let your life become a living testimony,
giving glory to God.
