Staying Faithful When Evangelism Feels Discouraging

A thing that many people when it comes to evangelism have trouble with is staying encouraged. Because it can be awful discouraging when you're handing out a gospel tract and someone rejects it. And you go to hand another one and they reject that one too.

And a third person and they reject that one also. See, it can be greatly discouraging. But remember this, that it is God that we are being faithful to. Not someone taking a gospel tract. Not someone receiving Christ.

We are not responsible for their obedience to God. We're not responsible for their repentance. We are responsible to be faithful to Jesus Christ and do what he's called us to do in making disciples. We make disciples of all people, everybody.

Teaching them all things that Christ has taught us. Now to the unbeliever who doesn't know Jesus Christ, the only and first thing we must teach them is how to get right with God. Once they become right with God, then we disciple them onto all other things.

But we are faithful. We have to be faithful. That's all. We are faithful to going out and sharing the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ. Having died on a cross, buried and risen again three days later for our sins.

We share that with people, even though they may not want to hear it. And it can be discouraging, but there is hope. Because there is that one time that you have somebody who comes to know Christ. And that is so encouraging.

You're on a spiritual high, maybe even for days. But then you get the privilege of discipling them and teaching them all things that Christ has taught you.
