Beyond the Great Commission

January 5, 2007

Cross from Black MountainA question has been stirring in my heart for a long time.

“What is the fuel for evangelism?”

What motivates me to share my faith on a consistent basis?

How do I find the “overflow of my heart” that propels my mouth to speak?

It has to be more than just obeying a command to “go.”

I can obey a command

  • because I want to, or
  • because I have to.

Just observe any child to see the difference.

What is my motivation for Evangelism?

It is found in a simple verse. “Because God loves us, we ought to love one another” 1 John 4.8.

It’s because God loves me.

The deeper that sinks into my soul, the more I’m wanting to tell others about His Love.

We are told to “Always be prepared to give reason for the hope that is within you.”

I wonder if that “reason” is unique to the work of God in your life.

Let me ask you this?

Why do you do evangelism?
