What is Christian evangelism all about?

It's about one thing: Forgiveness of sin from Jesus Christ, which
leads to:

(a) Salvation of your eternal soul,
(b) A change of your life here on Earth,
(c) Being given the strength to say no to sin, and yes to God,
(d)

-----
Jesus makes you a new creation. It's not about church, it's not
about being a better person. It's about Him giving you NEW LIFE,
giving you THE SPIRIT, which is ETERNAL LIFE.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom
of God.

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man
be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit.

It is a literal new birth, a second birth ... the first was our
flesh, the second is the spirit. And from that point forward, we
are alive eternally, will never die even though we shed our bodies
in this world, yet will we enter into Heaven alive.

It is God's free gift of eternal life to all who will receive it.
It is God's full pardon of sin, forgiveness of all wrongdoing, and
a second chance at being the creation He intended each of us to be
before sin entered in and wrecked everything.

It is God fulfilling His own perfect Law, but in a way which makes
it possible for us (the guilty) to go free, while He Himself pays
the price of our iniquity in our place.

There is no greater gift imaginable ... for this is ETERNAL life.

Thank you,
Rick C. Hodgin

For item d:

(d) ... your life changed and lived for Him

You fill in your own blank on how that affects your life, based on
the extent to which you pursue Him, the gifts He's able to give you
(because you reach the proper levels of maturity in Christ, and as
a Christian operating in this world).

He has abundance to give ... beyond our ability to receive. But as
a good Father, He won't put too much upon His son (you and me), not
until such time as we've gone through proper training, gained the
proper levels of experience, have been through boot camp, officer
training, etc., only then will we reach the new levels.

For those who seek with diligence and discipline and study, that may
come quickly. For others, it may never come.

It doesn't change our salvation, but it does change our blessings,
both here in this world, and in the age to come.

Please don't feed the troll. Many of us here have him kill-filed -- his
threads only show up on our radar screens if someone tries to engage with
him.

Please snip the troll posts rather than re-quoting them for everyone to see!

But don't worry. Most people (even me, in the end) who try to discuss
with Rick in his religious posts realise sooner or later that he doesn't
read replies or try to answer questions, and he does not respond to
reason. In other groups where Rick has been making such posts, they
rarely get many replies.

When you see a post with a thread subject like this (it's pretty clear),
just mark the thread as ignored. Then you don't see any more replies,
or replies to replies. I don't know about Pan, but in Thunderbird you
can even set up a rule that when a given person makes a post, the entire
sub-thread under it is automatically killed.

(I know Rick will reply to this post - I will be ignoring it. I am
happy to respond to Rick's posts when they are on-topic and technical.)
