It is a difficult thing for people to rise above their leaders. Another qualification for an evangelist is studiousness. God does not put the words in our mouth today without previous study and forethought. Carefulness is a characteristic that must be found in all desirous of doing evangelistic work. They are careful to go only where a substantial salary and living quarters await them.
Purity is a prerequisite for evangelists and all saints.
An evangelist must not he ashamed of his own conduct nor of His Lord. He must be willing to endure afflictions and be longsuffering. If he follows Paul's admonitions he will be industrious and energetic in the work of Christ. His faith will not waver. Love will be manifested toward God, the inspired Word, and his fellowman.
