The Fear of God in Evangelism -
How should the fear of God impact what we say when we evangelize? Paul Washer gently reminds us that it is only the Spirit of God that can create a fear of God in an unbeliever’s heart. We are not the cause of a new heart in an unsaved soul. When evangelizing an unbeliever, we must first explain who God is, what His law is, and His plan of redemption instead of starting with wrath and condemnation. Then, the Spirit of God will work to create that fear in people’s hearts. Taking the time to sit down with an unbeliever, answer questions, and explain biblical truths is an avenue through which the Spirit of God can work to create the fear of God in their heart. Ezekiel 36:26 (NKJV) - I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
