• explain a reason why evangelism is important for the christian church

  • many christians believe that the primary mission of church is to evangelise. this is clear when jesus tells his disciples to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the father, son and holy spirit. therefore, evangelism is important because it is commissioned and commanded by jesus in the new testament.
• explain a reason why evangelism is important for the christian church

  • some christians believe that salvation can only be found through jesus and so they have a duty to tell many people about his teachings as possible. jesus teaches "i am the way, the truth and the life, nobody comes to the father except through me". this demonstrates why evangelism is important because christians may believe people will not be saved unless they have developed faith in jesus.
