THE POWER OF CHRISTIAN EVANGELISM

Resumen

This study addressed the power of Christian evangelism as an essential element of faith and the Church’s mission, analyzing its origin in the Holy Scriptures, its historical expansion, and its spiritual, social, and cultural influence on contemporary society. The objective was to understand the role of evangelism in spreading the Christian message, its importance for strengthening faith, and the challenges it faces amid social and technological transformations. The research was conducted through a bibliographic and qualitative methodology, based on theological and sociological works by authors such as Stott, Boff, Bosch, Graham, Piper, and Bonhoeffer, as well as biblical references that underpin evangelistic practice. The results demonstrated that evangelism, more than an institutional activity, constitutes a living expression of faith and love, materialized in personal testimony and acts of solidarity. It was also found that, throughout history, evangelism contributed to the formation of ethical values, the promotion of social justice, and the strengthening of Christian communities. In the current context, the study observed that evangelism faces challenges related to religious pluralism, secularization, and the use of digital media, requiring authenticity, dialogue, and ethical responsibility from the Church. It was concluded that Christian evangelism remains a vital force in spreading the Gospel and transforming society, reaffirming the importance of faith, compassion, and commitment to others as foundations of true Christian discipleship.
