Motives for Evangelism I. The work of evangelism arises out of the heart and nature of God Himself. A. God is Spirit (John 4:24). B. God is Light (I John 1:5). Notice the definitions of God found in the Bible and how they all speak of this same nature.

D. God is Love (I John 4:16). 1. God has a love for the world of mankind (John 3:16-17; Rom. 5:8; Eph. 2:4-7; 5:2; I John 4:7-11). 2. We should be motivated by that same love (II Cor. 5:14-15). C. God is Consuming Fire (Heb. 12:29).

II. The work of evangelism finds its impetus in the commission given to it by Jesus Himself. The commission that Jesus gave to the church included the following elements: A. Preaching the Gospel to every creature and every nation under heaven (Mark 13:10; 16:15; Luke 24:47).

B. Witnessing of Christ to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). C. Bringing healing and deliverance to all those in such need (Mark 16:16- 18). D. Baptizing all those who respond to the Gospel (Mt. 28:19). E. Making disciples out of all those who were converted (Mt. 28:19). F. Teaching the converted a lifestyle of obedience to all of God’s commands (Mt. 28:20).

III. The work of evangelism is further fueled by the condition of mankind apart from Christ. A. Apart from Christ, all people are sinners and are under the sentence of death (Rom. 5:12; Heb. 9:27). B. Apart from Christ, all people are dead in trespasses and sins (Eph. 2:1). C. Apart from Christ, all people are children of wrath (Eph. 2:3).

D. Apart from Christ, all people are alienated from the life of God (Eph. 4:17-18). E. Apart from Christ, even upright, moral and decent people are lost and need to be saved (Rom. 3:23; John 3:3). F. Apart from Christ, all people are destined for eternal damnation (Rev. 20:10-15).

IV. The work of evangelism is inspired by the message that it bears. A. Jesus is the only way of salvation (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; I Cor. 8:4-6). B. The message of the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation (Rom. 1:16). C. The message of the Gospel is a message of reconciliation (II Cor. 5:18- 20). D. The message of the Gospel opens the door to abundant life (John 10:10b).

V. The work of evangelism must be motivated by God’s desire for all men to be saved (II Pet. 3:9). This heart is seen in the following: A. God’s challenge to Abraham (Gen. 12:3). B. God’s challenge to Israel (Ex. 19:5-6). God’s choosing of Israel was for them to be a priesthood nations mediating God’s purposes to the rest of the world. C. Solomon’s prayer of dedication (I Kgs. 8:28-30, 41-42, 59-60).

VI. The work of evangelism must be activated by the realization that the commission of Christ will only be fulfilled by believers in the church age. A. God does His work through His people—the church (Mt. 16:18; II Cor. 5:9-21), not angels (I Pet. 1:12). B. The message of the Gospel must find its voice in God’s people (Rom. 10:13- 15).

C. The church must reach the world prior to the Second Coming of Christ, because after that there will be no more opportunity (I Th. 4:13-18; II Th. 1:3-12). D. If the church does not do it, it will not get done (Eph. 3:8-12).

Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (I John 3:8). We are to do the same. The greatest way to do this is to lead lost people to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
