God is an evangelist. With all the love of His heart, He, through His servants, earnestly, patiently, faithfully beseeches the lost to be reconciled to Himself. His servants are ambassadors for Christ, who has done the mighty work for God that there might be a message of love, calling upon the sinner to repent and accept God’s so great salvation.
Every soul-healthy child of God is an evangelist. Like his Father, his heart of love goes out to seek the lost and bring God’s good news to them. God has not given to everyone the distinct gift of the evangelist, but God has given to everyone to share His heart for souls and to seek their blessing. We all in some way or another can and should “do the work of an evangelist.”
There are right ways and wrong ways to do the work. For instruction and warning some of the wrong ways are identified in this issue. However, none of us should focus on someone else who may not be doing the work in the right way. Perhaps God will be able to commend their desire and, in His sovereignty, bless the work they have done. But what will He find to commend in us if we are only a spectator and judge of others?
