Witness & Evangelism Attitudes

Some thoughts on evangelism from our Missions & Evangelism Team.

A quote from Tim Keller:

“We are compelled to share the gospel primarily out of generosity and love, not guilt. We are freed from the fear of being ridiculed or hurt by others, since we have already received the favor of God himself, by grace. Our dealings with others reflect humility because we know that we are saved by grace alone, not because of our superior insight or character. We are hopeful about everyone, even the “hard cases” because we were saved only by grace, not because we were more likely to become Christians. We are courteous and careful with people. We don’t have to push or coerce them, for it is only God's grace that opens hearts, not our eloquence or persistence or even their openness (Exodus 4:10-12). Together these traits create not only an excellent neighbor in a multicultural society, but also a winsome evangelist.
