is.
There is nothing more pleasing to God than that even one soul repents and is saved.
You see evangelism as the greatest joy.
Are you doing what pleases God?
We begin with John 1 by introducing important things.
It shows what everyone can do.
What was Philip's method of evangelism?
1. Evangelism can be done by anyone.
Was Philip a trained man?

Have you ever seen many miracles? no.
It was not long since Philip met Jesus, nor had he ever seen Jesus perform miracles.
and there was no special experience of faith.
At that time, the miracle of the wedding feast in Cana had not yet occurred.
After receiving the call in verse 43, doesn't evangelism begin in verse 45 right away?

Whenever that happens, you should feel sorry for yourself.
Don't be discouraged, and I hope you will lead by patience with the Lord until the end.
3. When we evangelize, God gives us strength.
Nathanael comes to Jesus and immediately confesses this.
In verse 49, <You are the Son of God, the King of Israel> Yes.

At first, when I heard about Jesus and talked about it negatively, I thought it would not work, but oh

<Will this person believe in Jesus?> <Will the work of God work for this person?>
Don't worry about getting off ahead of time.
Don't get discouraged or give up, but please, please God through evangelism.
All.
