Subscribe to feedFirst and foremost, the purpose of evangelism is like everything else in life: the purpose is to glorify God. This is perhaps the main reason why we are not to be results-driven in our evangelistic practices. We are to faithfully represent God to people, presenting to them their sin and what God has done for their sin. If people do not respond, they do not respond. We are to continue faithful preaching, not seek to devise new methods and a new message that might compel people in a new age to respond.
The primary purpose of evangelism is the glory of God, and God is glorified whenever people point to him in faith and with truth.
Right. The purpose is to glorify God, not to brag about numbers.
