What does the Bible say about evangelism?

Evangelism is the heartbeat of the Great Commission—sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with a world that desperately needs it. It is not reserved for pastors and missionaries; every believer is called to be a witness. Key King James Version passages include Mark 16:15, Romans 10:14, Matthew 28:19. This page collects 10 KJV verses about evangelism, each quoted in full.

How do I share the gospel?

Start by sharing your personal testimony—how you came to know Christ. Use simple Scripture: Romans 3:23 (all have sinned), Romans 6:23 (the wages of sin is death), Romans 5:8 (Christ died for us), Romans 10:9 (confess and believe). Be genuine, listen well, and trust the Holy Spirit to work.

Is evangelism every Christian's responsibility?

Yes. While some have the specific gift of evangelism (Ephesians 4:11), every believer is called to be a witness (Acts 1:8) and an ambassador for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20). First Peter 3:15 tells every Christian to be ready to explain their faith. Evangelism is sharing, not selling—and every believer has a story to tell.

How do I share my faith without being pushy?

First Peter 3:15 says to give a reason for the hope within you 'with meekness and fear.' Lead with your testimony, not arguments. Build genuine relationships, serve others, and let the Holy Spirit create openings. People are drawn to authenticity, not aggression. Your life should make people curious about your God.

Is lifestyle evangelism enough or must I verbalize the gospel?

Romans 10:14 asks, 'How shall they hear without a preacher?' While godly living creates credibility (1 Peter 2:12), verbal proclamation is essential—faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). The most effective evangelism combines an attractive life with clear articulation.
