The word "evangelism" comes from the Greek word "euangelizomai," which literally means "to bring Good News."
to evangelize is to share the "good news" or the Gospel of the Lord which is that God loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to pay the price of our sin which is condemnation unto death. But one must turn to the LORD and cry out trusting in Jesus whole heartedly for salvation. With this comes a regenerative work of the Holy Spirit of God making alive what once was dead in a person. Evidence of this True conversion is an ongoing relationship of a person with God and chastisement when he/she steps off the path of righteousness followed by continued repentance and faith with a result of "good fruit". Simply saying "I believe in Jesus" and living a life filled with sin and no conviction is more evidence of what Jesus said about lost people who profess Christ but will still go to hell.
