The essence of evangelism: "We have found the Messiah.  Come and see."  First of all, we have to have a revelation of the Lord.  It helps to tell people how we got that revelation.  Next, we introduce them to Jesus.  Telling about Him is never enough-- people have to meet Him themselves.  Then, in His presence, they experience Him-- He looks at them and speaks into their heart.  Then they know He is God.  After that, it is between them and God.  People have to make their own choice, but trying to convince them without introducing them to a REAL PERSON is of little value.  Once you've done that, though, you've done your part, except to pray for them and be a good example of a person who maintains a real relationship with Christ.
