For people to understand Christian evangelicals for why they do what they do I write this for especially non-Christians to understand. Because in many cases some crowds are very hostile towards people who evangelize. And really it is because the crowd doesn't understand what really is going on. So let me explain.

No evangelical can make you believe

All an evangelical is meant to do is relay God's message to people, to tell them the good news. The good news is that there is hope for redemption of all what you did wrong for all of your life. So that is what it is about. And the context of the good news, is what we call the Gospel. 

But like the prophets in the old days, nobody has the power to make you believe in God because it is a condition of the heart, not the mind. Many people don't want to know about God and those people mostly do not stop and listen what an evangelical has to say. Others for some reason get mad or even hostile to the evangelical which is really unjustified if you read on.

But no matter what is being said there are only few that hear the calling, and the rest does not believe and has no interest. Because a hardened heart does not want to know the Gospel. 

Learned to Love

So, Christians are commanded by our Lord to love their neighbors like they love themselves. Because He has made all there is, and He made it for all of which some are good and most are evil in His eyes. But loving they neighbor is a very difficult command, but we are to love you. And there more reason for this. Every soul is born into this world with a biological mother and father, but with a spiritual father as well. He is called Satan. The Gospel is there to have a person reborn of the spiritual father called God the Father. 

God the Father gave all free will to choose who'm spiritual father you shall be. But of course that has consequences. If you are of your father the devil, you'll end up in hell. And if you are spiritually reborn, because you repented, belonging to God the Father, you'll end up in heaven.

So, an evangelical like any other (real) Christian see where you end up. It is very simple, those who deny Jesus Christ will not end up good. And because the powers of darkness and the temptations of the world have clouded you and hardened your heart to some degree, there is a whole spiritual fortress of walls surrounding you, to not hear, or not want to hear the Truth. 

That is what a Christian sees, and it is a painful site, looking at someone and knowing what will be of him. That is also our love, that we want to tell you the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The only Gospel. And if you don't hear or don't want to hear, because we know it is confronting sometimes, then show a little love back to the evangelical because he knows what people think about Jesus, about Christianity. He could be shout at, ridiculed, humiliated and in some cases even attacked. Yet he stands there for you, to save you. Because he himself has nothing to gain in this world by doing that. He stands there because he was commanded by God to do so and show love for those who do not love God.

The Bible says that spreading the Word is like a farmer throwing seed on the ground. He waters it a little and then goes to bed. There is nothing he can do. But if ground is good, a miracle happens, the seed grows into a plant. That is what the evangelical does. In this analogy the ground is the heart. And the one who hears the Word with a good heart the Wonder of Grace may fall upon that person. Because just like the seed growing, that is God's work. You did control your own biological birth, neither do you control your spiritual rebirth.

The evangelical

My point in all this is, because it is confronting to most people; in essence Christians are saying, watch out for yourselves, your path leads to hell. And that is right in a sensitive spot with most people because they find themselves really good. That is why some are getting angry and say all sort of nasty things to evangelicals. Kind of confirms the path, but they don't see that. But it takes real courage, because I haven't done any of this evangelical stuff, and love for people to stand out there and preach the Gospel. So next if you see an evangelical preaching, be nice....

Jesus did not come to bring peace to this world

The world is in the hands of the dark powers and we get from birth only set of moral values that are prone to be eliminated (hardened hearts) - making a person more evil. There is war going on in your head if you try to do good. But there is no war when doing bad stuff but excitement. So that is how you start-moral set will be destroyed. That is why good parenting is so essential. And to know what is good, you need an all knowing righteous and loving God, and He shows it in the Bible.

Many young believers are in war with themselves. Much more then ever. This is the work of the Holy Spirit that is makes attentive to the will of God. The balance of the constant war in your head will be much more won by God the Father versus the Devil, because heart will be changed.

The world will never, never be at peace, but Christians receive the un-explainable inner peace of Christ. That is why we stay happy in the Lord even when hell breaks loose here on earth. Amen.
