hen we think of evangelism and sharing the gospel with unbelievers there is a common misconception that the goal of evangelism is to get people to “make a decision� to accept Jesus into their hearts. But if you know your catechism and the biblical texts, which your catechism correctly summarizes, then you know that getting someone to make a decision for Jesus is not the goal of evangelism. Instead, the goal of evangelism is for God to raise someone from the dead and that doesn’t happen as a result of someone making a decision for Jesus.
