In a previous sharing, it was shared that the death of God’s Son on Calvary shows how completely God, in love to mankind, was willing to hide his glory and become vulnerable to shame and dishonour.
Also God not only humbled himself for our salvation in the Incarnation and on the cross but he also humbles himself for our knowledge of salvation by speaking to us in and through the humanly unimpressive words of the Bible.

From this we can realise first of all the meaning and communication in true evangelism. Evangelising means declaring a specific message:
Evangelism means to present Christ Jesus, the divine Son who became man at a particular point in world history in order to save ruined mankind. It is not merely to present the teaching and example of the historical Jesus, or even the truth about his saving work; it means to present Christ Jesus himself, living Saviour and reigning Lord.
And again, it is not merely to set forth the living Jesus as Helper and Friend, without reference to his saving work on the cross. It means to present Jesus as Christ, God’s anointed Servant, fulfilling the tasks of his appointed office as Priest and King. “The man Christ Jesus” is to be presented as the “one mediator between God and man” (1Tim. 2:5), who “suffered once for sins…that he might bring us to God” (1 Peter 3:18), the one through whom alone, men may come to put their trust in God, according to John 14:6.
He is the Saviour who “came into the world to save sinners” (1 Tim. 1:15) – “Jesus who delivered us from the wrath to come (1 Thess.1:10). And he is to be set forth as King: “For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living” (Rom. 14:9). There is no true wholesome evangelism where this specific message is not declared.

Evangelism has been presented in so many ways, with so many ‘methods’ of training in communication – and sadly the central truths have been ignored in order to secure “more converts” – and this has contributed to spurious conversions and conversions without repentance and faith, and devoid of commitment to God and Christ as Lord.

Next, we look at the teaching of the written Scripture as the Word which God spoke and speaks to his church, and is finally authoritative for faith and life. To learn the mind of God, one must consult his written Word. What Scripture says, God says.
The Bible contains all that the church needs to know in this world for its guidance in the way of salvation and service, and it contains the principles for its own interpretation within itself.
Furthermore, the Holy Spirit, who caused it to be written, has been given to the church to cause believers to recognise it as the divine Word that it is, and to enable them to interpret it rightly and understand its meaning. The Holy Spirit, who is the author, is also its Witness and Expositor. Christians must therefore seek to be helped and taught by the Spirit when they study Scripture and must regard all their understanding of it, no less than the book itself, as the gift of God. The Spirit must be acknowledged as the infallible Interpreter pf God’s infallible Word.
The Bible does not need to be supplemented and interpreted by tradition, or revised and corrected by reason; instead it demands to sit in judgement on the dictates of both, for the words of men must be tried by the Word of God. The church collectively, and the Christian individually, can and does err, and the inerrant Scripture must ever be allowed to speak and correct them. That does not mean that we abandon traditions of the church which uphold the teachings of Scripture, or that we ignore the reason of the sanctified mind in seeking God’s help to understand His revelation in Scripture; but we need to realise that both traditions and reasoning (including study from Bible colleges) must allow Scripture to speak and correct them when what they advocate are not in line with God’s revelation.
Hence, one cannot understand why believers and churches seek to fulfil God’s desire in evangelism, and in building God’s kingdom and purpose, without studying and investing in proper understanding of Scripture wholesomely; in the ministry of preaching, teaching, and edifying – instead we turn to other avenues which need to be corrected and at times abandoned in the task to be faithful to the Triune God.
