Acts 20
Acts 20:24:
But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. |
Evangelism is at the very heart of Christianity. The two can never be separated. When we abandon evangelism, we lose the gospel itself, for evangelism is the gospel being proclaimed and lived.

Acts 20:27:
For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God. |
|
Acts 20:28:
“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood,” |
Christ died for the church, He shed His blood because of His love for man. Christ actually died for the entire world, once for all time — past, present and future. The church is made up of those who have accepted Christ as the Bridegroom and are now married to Him. The world has refused to be married to Christ and as such feel no obligation to Him. -Larry Graves
