God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'
Billy GrahamRead
Evangelism is when the Gospel, which is good news, is preached or presented to all people.
Interpretation
Evangelism involves sharing the good news of the Gospel with everyone.
Billy Graham emphasizes that evangelism is about spreading the message of the Gospel, which he defines as good news for all people. This notion highlights the inclusive nature of the Gospel and the importance of reaching out to others with its positive and transformative message.
In practice
In a sermon about the importance of outreach, I quoted Billy Graham's definition of evangelism.
God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'

God will not force himself upon us against our will. If we want his love, we need to believe in him. We need to make a definite, positive act of commitment and surrender to the love of God. No one can do it for us.
Success in God's eyes is faithfulness to His calling.
Heaven doesn't make this life less important; it makes it more important.
The awareness is not part of the darkness or the pain; it holds the pain, and knows it, so it has to be more fundamental, and closer to what is healthy and strong and golden within you.

It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe.
It is easy enough to be virtuous When nothing tempts you to stray; When without or within No voice of sin Is luring your soul away. But it is only a negative virtue until it is tried by fire. For the soul that is worth the treasures of the earth is the soul that resists desire.
He who has a slight disadvantage plays more attentively, inventively and more boldly than his antagonist who either takes it easy or aspires after too much. Thus a slight disadvantage is very frequently seen to convert into a good, solid advantage.
