Scripture is clear that God eternally puposed to offer His gift of salvation to all peoples of the world. The Hebrew Scriptures exhort God's redeemed people to declare His mercy and grace. Likewise, the New Testament outlines a similar responsibility for God's church. As a result of God's redemptive work, His redeemed people are given the privileged position of being His emissaries. Reaching the world through evangelism involves passion, prayer, and proclamation through the power of God's Holy Spirit and Word.
