Introduction A friend recently asked me a question related to evangelism. How can we determine that someone has believed the saving message when we present the message of eternal life? In many cases when churches or missionaries give a gospel presentation, there is a desire to confirm that people were saved. Because of this desire,

Must Assurance of Salvation Be Based on Jesus’ Promise?

June 8, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance, evangelism

M. H. asks a great question: I recently viewed a couple of your blogs where you talked about how someone only needs to believe in Jesus to be saved, including eternal security. If someone believes that they cannot lose their salvation (will never perish, will never be condemned, etc.), is that considered true belief if

The Best Evangelism Is 2G, not 4G

April 5, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - evangelism, how Jesus evangelized, John 4:10

Many Evangelicals do not share their faith. That’s because they’ve been taught a man-made evangelistic message. The best phone connection used to be 4G. Now the best phone connection is 5G. Regarding evangelism, the best connection–indeed, the only authentic connection–is 2G. It’s called 2G because of John 4:10, where the Lord Jesus speaks of the

Is Evangelism the Ultimate Purpose of the Christian Life or Maybe is it the Main Purpose of a Church?

evangelism, Evangelistic preaching, Purpose

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates answer a question about purpose and evangelism. They say that evangelism is a purpose rather than the purpose of the Christian life. Despite it’s importance, evangelism is not the purpose of the local church. Evangelism should naturally be a part of daily living in our circles of living–friends, family, and influence– and not a legalistic block that you check off a checklist every day. Ultimately, we are to glorify God. Many things (and how we carry ourselves as we do them) can be ways to do this. Certainly, evangelism is one of them. Please join us on this episode.

October 5, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - evangelism, The promise of life
