The Relationship between God and His Evangelists (All Christians)

Second, the triune God in Christ has a relationship of communication and fellowship with the evangelist. The evangelist has been united with the triune God in Christ and has been indwelt by the Spirit. Open communication exists, therefore, between them both by the inspired Word and the internal witness of the Spirit (Rom. 8:14-27). Through this constant communication, the evangelist is increasingly anointed, equipped, empowered, and made competent for the evangelistic witness of Christ to unbelievers.
