“What is a true Evangelistic Preacher”?

(evangelistic and apologetic)

Always preaching about

John 1:1-18

And

Genesis 1:11 KJV

And them

Compare that person to Apostle John!

John the Apostle (Aramaic: יוחנן שליחא‎ Yohanān Shliḥā; Hebrew: יוחנן בן זבדי Yohanan ben Zavdi; Koine Greek: Ἰωάννης; Coptic: ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ or ⲓⲱ̅ⲁ; Latin: Ioannes; c. AD 6 – c. 100) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament.

John’s gospel is the second (compare Luke 1:1-4), that contains a precise statement regarding the author’s purpose (20:30-31). He declares, “these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name” (20:31). The primary purposes, therefore, are two-fold: evangelistic and apologetic. Reinforcing the evangelistic purpose is the fact that the word “believe” occurs approximately 100 times in the gospel (the synoptics use the term less than half as much). John composed his gospel to provide reasons from saving faith in this readers and, as a result, to assure them that they would receive the divine gift of eternal life (1:12).

The apologetic purpose is closely related to the evangelistic purpose. John wrote to convince his readers of Jesus’ true identity as the incarnate God-Man whose divine and human natures were perfectly united onto one person who was the prophesied Christ (“Messiah”), and Savior of the world (e.g., 1:41; 3:16; 4:25-26; 8:58). He organized his whole gospel around 8 “signs” or proofs that reinforce Jesus’ true identity leading to faith. The first half of his work centers around seven miraculous signs selected to reveal Christ’s person and engender belief: Then the eighth shown below, was after Jesus' resurrection.

(1)   Water made into wine (2:1-11);

(2)   The healing of the royal official’s son (4:46-54);

(3)   The healing of the lame man (5:1-18);

(4)   The feeding of a multitude (6:1-15);

(5)   Walking on water (6:16-21);

(6)   Healing of the blind man (9-1-41);

(7)   The raising of Lazarus (11:1-57);

(8)   The miraculous catch of fish (21:6-11), after Jesus’ resurrection.
