Evangelism 14, New Believers Sharing and Converting Others
We can see a potential evangelism power in those people first believing in Christ, and how their obvious and complete joy in finding Christ led immediately to a sharing of Jesus. That then brought others to the Lord. That can and still should happen today.
When someone excepts Christ, transformational change often is apparent to those who know the person. They may not at first know the source of the change, but they will be curious.
What if we could learn to disciple new believers intentionally to be prepared to answer the questions and curiosities in a way that might lead to powerful sharing and multiplication of believers. It could be huge.
We often think that time and maturing is essential preparation for new believers to then participate in evangelism sometime down the road. That mental model may be short circuiting the potential rapid sharing that we observed in those very first believers who met Christ face-to-face.
Food for thought, don't you think? With God all things are possible. We may be the limiting factors sometimes.
