Are We All Called by God to become Evangelizers?

"Qualifications Required” is a professional term, mostly implying a need for diplomas, certifications, and/or experience. In service for Christ as a disciple, which requires one to evangelize, is, on the other hand, a different kind of serving, as our offering to God.

Heartfelt traits most characteristics include: Sincerity, loyalty, focus, and commitment. This last sentence explains how “Many are called, but few are chosen.”

Ways to serve God: We all have God-given talents. Some of us are musically inclined, others are speakers or writers, and some are compassionate listeners. However, I believe those who truly want to serve God as their purpose in life will be gifted with the qualities needed to serve Him by bringing others closer to Him. For those who believe they would like to serve God, but cannot, as they lack the time, the understanding, or the tolerance to remain consistent, will be gifted through the grace of God with those qualities necessary to serve Him through helping those in need. What is required of us is the sincerity of heart to follow Christ and become more pleasing in His eyes.

All of the above is more than possible when we have spent time with Christ, praying for an increase in our trust in His provision.

Initially, some of us may be reluctant to follow the path of becoming a disciple of Christ. We may reflect on our job, our home, and our family, and think it is not realistic. Truthfully, it is not realistic that we can achieve all of our earthly commitments and leave Christ last. Telling ourselves we have no time and energy to include service to Christ in our lives.

Spending time alone in prayer with God every day, maybe just ten minutes of our time, alone in prayer, we will come to accept that our excuses are weak. Not one of us can give to God more than He will return for our love, sincerity, and willingness. Two hours out of our busy week to visit an isolated senior without family is surely doable for most of us. Get to know Him now.

When I graduated from 8th grade, that summer I happened to be visiting an Aunt who lived out of State. She took my 8th-grade Authograph book and wrote in it. Her words were: “Whenever you pass a Church, remember to stop in and visit. Then one day, when you are carried in, God won’t have to ask, “Who is it?”
