Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God

De: J.I. Packer

Narrado por: Grover Gardner

If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all?

J.I. Packer shows in this classic study how both of these attitudes are false. In a careful review of the biblical evidence, he shows how a right understanding of God's sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as an incentive and powerful support for it.

J. I. Packer is author of the best selling Christian classic Knowing God. He is Board of Governors Professor of Theology at Regent College in Vancouver.

One of the best expiration of this topic

Packer systematically and carefully explains that the fact that God alone decides who will be saved does not relieve us of the importance of personal evangelism.

Excellent

Scriptural teaching that is timeless. And really needed in the church today. All Christians are evangelist.

The fine style of teaching and the great humility with which it is taught.

The theology is God-fearing and honorable. Nothing stood out more than the author’s commitment to showing that God has the final word in everything!

Most excellent!

I was very impressed with how plainly written, yet exceedingly rich this book was. I would highly recommend it to anybody confused about the necessity of evangelism while also maintaining that God is sovereign over His creation.

It’s a good read!

This book offers valuable insights and is undeniably worth the read. Nonetheless, I observed some inconsistencies in the author's guidance. On one hand, he emphasizes the importance of establishing a friendship before evangelizing, while on the other, he champions forthright boldness. Despite these contradictions, the book remains commendable. For those seeking further enlightenment, I highly recommend John MacArthur's 'Ashamed of the Gospel'. My interest in this book was piqued due to MacArthur's endorsement. It's essential to note that universal agreement on every topic is rare, and differing opinions are both natural and acceptable. Blessings to all

Loved this study on evangelism

I’m going to start taking prayer for my unconverted family members and friends more seriously but I’m glad God is sovereign and he saves in his own time. I just need to be patient.
