You Are an Evangelist
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! (Psalm 96:3)
God's plan is that people will come to faith in Christ. I know you are very concerned about your family members and friends who don't know Christ. Because you are burdened for them, you are asking yourself questions like: “How will they hear the Gospel? Will they watch religious broadcasting on television? Will they enter the doors of a church? Who will God send to them?” If you want your friends and family members to come to Jesus, you need to tell them.
They need someone to tell them about Jesus, someone they can relate to and understand. They need a person who cares about their soul, and that person might be you.
When I was 12-years old, I prayed to receive Jesus on a Monday afternoon in March. After I accepted Jesus, the first people I wanted to share my faith with were my sisters. I went home and shared the Gospel with my two sisters because I wanted them to come to faith in Jesus Christ. If you have family members who don't know Jesus, you are the very person (evangelist) who God is sending.
I know that witnessing to family members is very difficult to do. Because they know all about you, they know all of your baggage and where you have blown it. Your life is not hidden from them. Through your life and your choice to follow Jesus, they will see that Jesus is the solution to all things. Therefore, we must be faithful in sharing His goodness and hope with others.
Our responsibility is to deliver and share the Gospel with someone. It is the Holy Spirit's job to consummate the Gospel in someone's heart. Hopefully, that person will respond to the tug of the Spirit of God. They need to follow Jesus, regardless of what it will cost them, before it costs them everything!
