EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP - Relationship Between Evangelism and Disciples. Page 1 of 1EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIPII. Relationship Between Evangelism and DiscipleshipEvangelism is proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ to the lost. The “lost” are thosepeople who do not believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. They are like lost sheep, whicha good shepherd seeks and brings to safety (Matt. 18:12).The goal of evangelism is to win converts. A convert is one who becomes a believer inChrist; he is converted from being a non-believer to being a believer.A disciple is a convert who adheres to the basics of the Christian faith. The word "disciple"means “a pupil, someone who learns by following.” Such knowledge is more than headknowledge—it is also “heart-knowledge.” True disciples not only know about Christ, theyalso follow the teaching of Christ. In Christian theology, discipleship is the process oftraining individuals to become mature disciples. Discipleship is more than just sharinginformation—it involves developing individuals to love and obey God.Evangelism and discipleship are linked together. Evangelism results in converts, and convertsare trained to become disciples. Disciples evangelize to reach more converts, who are trainedto become disciples. So evangelism leads to disciples and disciples evangelize until theGospel is spread throughout the world.Whenever possible, discipleship should follow evangelism. Evangelism results in peoplebeing spiritually reborn (see John 3:3), so new converts are “spiritual babies.” Converts needdiscipleship in order to grow to maturity. It is not right to create a physical baby and thenabandon it. In the same way, it is not right to create a spiritual baby and then abandon it.Converts need to be trained by other Christians.Consider the relationship of evangelism and discipleship with missions. Christian missionsinvolve proclaiming the Gospel across cultures. So a missionary spreads the Gospel to apeople group or culture different from his own. Evangelism and discipleship are the processesby which mission work is accomplished. Evangelism and discipleship also occur within one’sown culture, so not all evangelism and discipleship falls within the context of missions.BACK TO OUTLINE tionship.html1/7/2012
EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP - Why Evangelize and Make Disciples?Page 1 of 3EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIPIII. Why Evangelize and Make Disciples?Consider the Biblical basis for evangelism and discipleship.A. Christ Commanded It.In each of the four Gospels and in Acts, Jesus commanded his followers to makedisciples. The Great Commission is found in the following Scripture:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earthhas been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the HolySpirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Andsurely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matthew 28:18-20NIV).15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to allcreation. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever doesnot believe will be condemned. (Mark 16:15,16 NIV).46 He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and risefrom the dead on the third day, 47and repentance and forgiveness of sins willbe preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Luke 24:4648 NIV).21 Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I amsending you." 22And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive theHoly Spirit. 23If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do notforgive them, they are not forgiven." (John 20:21-23 NIV).8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and youwill be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to theends of the earth." 9 After he said this, he was taken up before their veryeyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. (Acts 1:8,9 NIV).The importance of the Great Commission is emphasized by its appearance aspart of the last instructions of Christ to his disciples in all four Gospels. And inActs, the Great Commission is the last words of Christ prior to his ascension.B. To Save Sinners.Christ commands evangelism and discipleship so that sinners may be saved fromhell. Hell is a place of suffering (see Luke 16:19-31). Christ said to fear God,who is able to cast sinners into hell.4 "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and afterthat can do no more. 5But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Evangelize.html1/7/2012
EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP - Why Evangelize and Make Disciples?Page 2 of 3who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tellyou, fear him. (Luke 12:4,5 NIV).Apart from Christ, people are condemned to die and go to hell (see John 3:16-18;Rev. 20:15). Those who are not saved during their one life here on earth will beeternally separated from God. Scripture says that each person lives once on earth,and then faces judgment.27 Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28soChrist was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he willappear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who arewaiting for him. (Hebrews 9:27,28 NIV).Jesus died on a cross to pay the penalty for sin, so that sinners could be savedfrom hell. He said that he came to seek and save the lost (see Luke 19:10). Hewants people to have the joy of eternally living with God. That joy is expressed inthe following Scripture.3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of Godis with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and Godhimself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear fromtheir eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, forthe old order of things has passed away." (Revelation 21:3,4 NIV).Christ died to save sinners from hell, and he expects his followers to proclaim thisGood News and warn of the danger of hell. If we do not obey the GreatCommission, we are responsible for lost souls going to hell. God held Ezekielaccountable for preaching repentance.8 When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you donot speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for [a]his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 9 But if you do warnthe wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die forhis sin, but you will have saved yourself. (Ezekiel 33:8,9 NIV).[a] Ezekiel 33:8 Or inJust as Ezekiel was accountable for preaching repentance, God holds hisfollowers accountable for making disciples. The Apostle Paul recognized this,and said that he was innocent of the blood of all men because he proclaimedGod’s word (see Acts 20:26,27).When sinners are saved, God is glorified. God is victorious over sin and death.Those who were opposed to God repent and worship God.C. To Expand the KingdomChrist commanded that his followers evangelize and make disciples in order toexpand the Kingdom of God. At his first advent on earth, he ushered in theKingdom. When Christ returns, he will establish his rule over the Kingdom. See “Kingdom of God” in the training module, angelism/WhyEvangelize.html1/7/2012
EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP - Why Evangelize and Make Disciples?Page 3 of 3The church is to expand the Kingdom of God in the power of the Holy Spirit.When the church completes this Commission, Christ will return.“ And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as atestimony to all nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14 NIV).As the Kingdom of God expands, God receives the worship from the peoples ofall nations. So expanding the Kingdom gives glory to God (see Rev. 5:9,10,13).Expanding the Kingdom provides more fulfilling lives for those who receiveChrist (see John 10:10). Christ provides eternal security, love, guidance, andhope. When people receive Christ, they see their lives transformed. Alcoholicswho commit to Christ give up alcohol. Sex addicts who commit to Christ give upsexual immorality. Greedy people who commit to Christ share their riches withothers. Those who are spiritually poor commit to Christ and find themselvesspiritually rich.BACK TO OUTLINE vangelize.html1/7/2012
EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP - Who Should Evangelize?Page 1 of 1EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIPIV. Who Should Evangelize?Who has the responsibility for evangelizing? Missionaries? Pastors? Teachers? According toScripture, all Christians should evangelize. Jesus gave the Great Commission to his elevenApostles and a few other disciples with them. Obviously this small band of followers could notproclaim the Gospel to the ends of the earth and make disciples of all nations. So the GreatCommission is for you and me and all other believers.Someone might say, “But isn’t it the job of evangelists to spread the Gospel?” Yes, evangelistsare responsible for spreading the Gospel. They have the gift of evangelism. So they are effectivein winning souls for Christ. But evangelists are not the only ones who should make disciples.Every Christian who is able to witness is commanded to witness for Christ. Only a small portionof the church has the gift of evangelism, but every Christian that can think and speak can testifythat Christ is Lord. It is through the witness of the multiplied millions of Christians that theGospel can be spread quickly to every people group on earth. Christians serve as a daily witnessto their families, friends, and co-workers.Every believer is a priest, and a priest leads people to worship God.9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God,that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderfullight. (1 Peter 2:9 NIV).We serve as Christ’s ambassadors to non-believers (see 2 Cor. 5:20).BACK TO OUTLINE houldEvangelize.html1/7/2012
EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP - Reward for EvangelizingPage 1 of 1EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIPV. Reward for EvangelizingIt is human nature to ask, “What reward will I get for evangelizing?” The Apostle Peter askedwhat would be his reward for following Christ. Jesus responded:“ . . . everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother [a] orchildren or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternallife. (Matt. 19:29 NIV).a. Matthew 19:29 Some manuscripts mother or wifeThere is great satisfaction in leading people to Christ. The greatest gift that one can give is tolead a person to receive eternal life. So the work of evangelism is fulfilling. Also, as Christianstravel to various countries and lead people to Christ, such converts open their homes to theevangelists. So those who have left homes are welcomed into a hundred times more homes.Those who have left family are blessed with the love of a hundred families. And those wholeave their home for Christ have an eternal home in heaven.While there is great reward in leading people to Christ, an evangelist may also experiencepersecution and hardship (see John 15:18-21). But for those called to the purposes of God, theLord brings good out of bad experiences (see Romans 8:28). The Apostles evangelized andmade disciples, so the Jewish leaders had the Apostles flogged. Then the Jews ordered theApostles not to speak in the name of Jesus. Consider the response of the Apostles.41The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy ofsuffering disgrace for the Name. 42Day after day, in the temple courts and from house tohouse, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.[a] (Acts 5:41,42 NIV)[a] Acts 5:42 Or MessiahThe Apostles rejoiced in their suffering for Christ! Proclaiming the Gospel is not easy, but thereis joy in such work. Also, converts to the Christian faith experience joy, and sometimespersecution.BACK TO OUTLINE rdForEvangelizing.html1/7/2012
EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP - Who are the ProspectsPage 1 of 1EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIPVI. Who are the ProspectsWhich people should we share the Gospel with? We must be willing to make disciples ofanyone. Jesus taught his disciples to witness in their hometown, in their country, and to the endsof the earth (Acts 1:8). He said, “Make disciples of all nations” (Matt. 28:19). But not all peoplewill be equally responsive to our witness. So we should focus on sharing the Gospel to thosewho are most likely to convert to Christ.Through prayer, we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us to the best prospects for evangelizing.Within our own culture, we may be led to witness to family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, orother people that we have some relationship with. We find that certain people respond best to us.An older man may be effective in speaking with other older men. A young girl may be mosteffective in speaking with other young girls. Often, people of our own race may respond better tous than people of other races. We love people of every age, sex, and race, and we want tofellowship with all people. But we also want to see the church grow as fast as possible. So weseek out those who respond readily to the Good News. As missionaries to other people groups,we follow the Spirit and see which people respond to the Gospel. We may then be led to focuson evangelizing the people group that is most responsive.Jesus sent disciples to evangelize and told them if the people in a city did not respond favorablythat the disciples should move on to other areas (see Luke 10:10,11). In the same way, if youevangelize in the proper way, and people in a particular place do not receive Christ as Lord,simply go to another area.The Apostle Paul gave priority to evangelizing people who had not heard the Gospel (seeRomans 15:20-21). We strive to do the same.BACK TO OUTLINE reTheProspects.html1/7/2012
EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP - Where Should We Evangelize?Page 1 of 1EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIPVII. Where Should We Evangelize?As a missionary, where is the Lord leading you to evangelize and make disciples? As you prepareto go to a mission field, pray repeatedly that the Lord will lead you to the place that you should go.To guide you in praying, see the website below. The U.S. Center for World Mission provides thiswebsite that identifies people groups to peration World at the following website asks for prayer to be directed toward various nations ofthe world.http://www.24-7prayer.com/ow/?skin 247For additional ideas regarding places to evangelize, talk with people at a mission-sending agency.A. Where the Holy Spirit Leads.The Spirit led the Apostle Paul and his companions to avoid certain places and to goto Macedonia for mission work (see Acts 16:6-10). The Holy Spirit warned Paul ofdanger, but compelled him to go as a witness to Jerusalem (see Acts 20:22-24). TheSpirit can also guide you to the right mission fields.B. Where the People Are.It is generally better--but not always better--to evangelize in cities and towns ratherthan in rural areas. People in the cities and towns carry the Gospel to the country.And people in cities serve as witnesses when those from rural areas come to cities totransact business. Notice that Jesus sent disciples to evangelize in towns (see Luke10:1). Paul went to population centers to evangelize.

EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP - How to EvangelizePage 1 of 14EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIPVIII. How to EvangelizeA. The Master Plan.The overall plan of evangelism is to conduct evangelistic training, pray, rely on theHoly Spirit, go and witness, and leave the results to God.1. Leaders Must Train People to Evangelize.Missionaries and pastors should prompt their congregations to evangelize.Leaders set an example by evangelizing. Someone wrote, “Evangelism is morecaught than taught.” In other words, disciples catch onto evangelism by goingto evangelize with more experienced witnesses. It is good to learn the basics ofevangelism in a classroom, but most evangelistic skill is learned through practice.When an experienced witness evangelizes together with a less experienceddisciple, the disciple participates in witnessing when he feels comfortable indoing so.

EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP II. Relationship Between Evangelism and Discipleship Evangelism is proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ to the lost. The “lost” are those people who do not believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. They are like lost sheep, which a good shepherd seeks and brings to safety (Matt. 18:12).

Like evangelism, the word “discipleship” is not in the Bible.3 By adding “ship” to it, discipleship literally means “the state of learning” or “following a teacher.” Some people like to refer to it as apprenticeship, which we think is a good description.4 At its roots, Christian discipleship means to follow and learn from Jesus.
