What Is Biblical Evangelism?

Evangelism is also known as “bearing witness,” and its primary purpose is to spread the message of Jesus Christ to as many people as possible in order to help them achieve salvation. There are many different ways to evangelize, and a variety of tools available to help. One of those ways is known as biblical evangelism. In this article, we’ll explain what biblical evangelism is and how it is used to spread Christ’s message.

Explaining the Biblical Understanding of Evangelism

The Bible is the main tool for nearly all evangelists, but in biblical evangelism, it is even more important. Biblical evangelists strictly follow the teachings of Jesus that are contained within the Bible and put them into practice in their everyday lives. By following the instructions in the Bible, the essentials of effective biblical evangelism have come to involve one main principle: proclamation. Here’s what the Bible says about evangelism:

“And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.’” - Mark 16:15-16

“As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” - 2 Timothy 4:5

“For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.” - 1 Corinthians 1:17

“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” - John 5:24

These are only a few of the instructions the Bible gives on evangelism, but they direct the work of biblical evangelists who spread the gospel to God’s children. Furthermore, biblical evangelism uses these passages from the Bible as a central part of its efforts, often in the form of gospel tracts.
