What Or Who Is An Evangelist?

An evangelist is a person with God's calling to spread the Good News (Gospel) of salvation to people through Jesus Christ. In simpler words, an evangelist is God's speaker. The main goal is to tell and educate people about Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and our Savior.

Just like every other person, an evangelist uses words to tell people about the story of Jesus and the role of His life, death, and resurrection. In short, an evangelist preaches the Gospel.

Are you an evangelist? If you are, you are God's messenger bearing and spreading the most important news in the world! Read on.

Qualities of a Good Evangelist

While an evangelist does the most important job, it is also among the hardest jobs in the world. Like Jesus, some places do not welcome evangelists; hence it becomes challenging to spread the Gospel.

However, with God's help, nothing is impossible in their journey despite the challenges. That's why it calls for a good evangelist to bear the cross against all odds. Therefore, not everyone can be an evangelist except you possess the following qualities.

Godly Character

Because evangelists are God's messengers, they try their best to be like Him in all that they do. For instance, evangelists are usually honest, kind, forgiving, and encouraging individuals. They put other people's needs first, pray for everyone, even their enemies, and deal justly with everything. Compassion, absolute love for others, and God is also significant evangelical features.

Talents and Intelligence

Usually, most evangelists have specific talents that enable and boost their success in the ministry. For instance, good communication skills help evangelists boost their faith or the church, while a convincing personality can help win souls for Christ.

Evangelists also possess solid and comprehensive knowledge of the Bible. This makes them adequately intelligent to discuss theological issues with those less informed.

Dynamic Ministry

It is necessary and typical for evangelists to take the message of Christ outside the church or, in simpler terms, 'to the streets.' Evangelists are repeatedly passionate about ministering to prisoners, delicate youth, and even total strangers.

Moreover, they often engage in door-to-door preaching or go to hospitals to minister to sick people. Because one of the responsibilities of an evangelist is to look for more evangelists, current evangelists are usually involved in youth and children's ministries at their worship places.

Gifts and Holiness

Evangelists are occasionally believed to bear special gifts, such as healing, showing their exceptional position in God's eyes. Still, they may possess other special gifts, like the ability to talk directly with God or impart messages from God to people. Evangelists are also usually holy persons who are effectively free of self-pity, hatred, hostility, and sadness. But rather, they are full of God's love and a wish to sacrifice everything they have for God.

Ultimately, please take note that there is nowhere mentioned that an evangelist lacks fear. Even an evangelist still has moments when they are afraid. People assume that they have the special gift of evangelism since they think having it would never make them feel scared to share Christ. That's far from the truth.
