Lifestyle evangelism[edit]

Main article: Lifestyle evangelism

Lifestyle evangelism is an approach to evangelism characterized by someone

demonstrating their faith by their actions in the hope that people around them will be
impressed with how God affects that person's life, and become a Christian. According
to The Encyclopedia of Protestantism printed in 2004, approximately 100 million people
use this approach to evangelism.[19]

Supporters of this approach to evangelism often cite Matthew 5:16 as a proof verse.[24]
[25]
Supporters also often point out that Jesus drew people to God by showing them
kindness and performing good deeds, while detractors sometimes note that people may
not realize one's good behavior is due to Christianity. Supporters claim this is more
effective than direct evangelism because of the perception that it is harder to live
"righteously" than to preach a sermon.

10. Miracles, Signs and Wonders

Some think this is normative but in the Bible and history it is not. However, it
is a means by which people can see the power of God, which transcends the
world we live in and thus believe in the one true God.

John 20:30-31 30 Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of
his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written
that you may[a] believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by
believing you may have life in his name.
What difference does these different styles and approaches make?

The major difference is that there are different types of people and also
different settings and different times for people. The bottom line is that
people cannot believe in Jesus Christ if they cannot hear. Romans 10.17
supports this concept. There are other styles and types of evangelism but
these serve to emphasize some key types and differences. Notice in all of
these they often overlap to a different type and style. Key though is that the
gospel is shared, people hear and come to faith in Christ.
