Gospel Essentials: Proclamation

Talk of evangelism often makes people uncomfortable. We feel like we’re not very good at it. We feel like we don’t do it enough. We know it’s important—we have conferences and committees, missions teams and training programs—but it’s hard to actually get at calling people to respond to the Gospel. We know that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (v. 13), but how will they call on Jesus if we don’t preach Him? God has given us a great opportunity; He could complete the work of evangelism on His own, but He has chosen to reveal Himself through us! Will we share the good news that has changed our lives?
