Christ died for us, in place of us, and in behalf of us. The evangelist makes much of Christ's death upon the cross. Christ took upon himself the penalty rightly belonging to us, so that through believing in Him, we are freed from the penalty and guilt of sin. One who accepts the new life in Christ, submits to Him as Lord. Homes are changed.
Money is spent for that which is bread.
Barriers that alienate men from one another are broken down. The new man in Christ has turned from the power of Satan to God, and becomes as salt to the earth. The evangelistic message leads to the transformation of the individual. The New Testament illustrates several methods of evangelism. We find examples of mass evangelism in the work of John the Baptist.
