Empowerment for evangelism is a central theme in the Bible, emphasizing the role of the Holy Spirit in equipping believers to share the gospel with others. According to Acts 1:8, Jesus promises his disciples that they will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon them, enabling them to be witnesses for him in Jerusalem, Judea, and the ends of the earth. As Romans 8:28 affirms, believers can trust that God is working all things together for good, giving them confidence to proclaim the gospel, and as 1 Peter 3:15 encourages, they should always be prepared to give a reason for the hope that is in them, with gentleness and respect. Through this empowerment, Christians are able to fulfill the Great Commission, as stated in Matthew 28:19-20, to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded.
