Godly Living
Godliness is linked to evangelism (Matt. 5:16)
God’s work requires total dedication (Rom. 12:1)
1st temptation: conformation (Romans 12:2)
2nd Temptation: Isolation (Phil 2:15-16a)

Godly Living
Your influence vs “the pulpit”
Souls can be lost by our behavior (Rom. 2:22-24, Eph. 5:3)
Souls can be won by our behavior (1 Pet. 3:1-4, Titus 2:1-10)
![Page 16: Joe Hamm. Preparing Ourselves For Evangelism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e1b5503460f94b0883b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If Not, Then We’re Not Helping!
“Do Others See Christ Living In
Me?”

Love
An old command (Matt. 22:36-40)
And a new command (John 13:34-35)
“even as I have loved you” (John 15:13)
Jesus died for the ungodly and His enemies (Romans 5:6-10)

How Often Do Strangers
Experience Our Love For Them?
Do we Have The Same Love For All
People?
![Page 20: Joe Hamm. Preparing Ourselves For Evangelism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e1b5503460f94b0883b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Love
Hospitality means “love to strangers” - φιλοξενία (Luke 14:12-14)
Every Christian is commanded to be hospitable (Rom. 12:9,13, Heb. 13:1-2)
Where can we find these opportunities? (James 2:1-5)

“There are broken people at our jobs, in our schools, in our communities. We interact with them every day. We pass by souls struggling with sin, who are pained by guilt, who are craving love and attention, who are crying out for someone to help. What are we doing? Are they seeing the compassion of Jesus in us? Or are they only seeing judgment or callous indifference (James 2:1-17)?” --David Maxson

In Closing
There’s no easy way to win the lost
It cost Jesus everything
Why should we think it would cost us nothing?
Successful evangelism requires fervent prayer, godly living, and self-sacrificing love for the souls of others.
