Evangelism in the Bible refers to the act of proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ, primarily concerning His life, death, and resurrection, as well as the salvation available through faith in Him. The term itself is derived from the Greek word "euangelion," which means "good news" or "gospel." This concept is central to the New Testament, where Jesus commissions His disciples to spread the gospel to all nations, as articulated in the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:19-20: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."The practice of evangelism is also exemplified in the early church, as seen in the Book of Acts, where the apostles actively preached the message of Christ, leading to the growth of the church (Acts 2:41; Acts 4:4). It emphasizes not only sharing the message of salvation but also embodying the love and teachings of Christ in everyday life. Evangelism is thus seen as both a proclamation of the gospel and an invitation to enter into a transformative relationship with Jesus, echoing the apostle Paul’s words in Romans 1:16, where he states, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes."
