The Election of Grace and Evangelism

If Jesus Christ has given the keys of His kingdom to the local church, then how is the church to use those keys to open the kingdom to men? The answer is through evangelism and world missions. But as we labor to take up our God-given duty to counsel the lost to know the Lord, it is important that we recognize our labors in time have their taproots in eternity. Evangelism is built upon God's election of grace. Far from being a hindrance to evangelism, the doctrine of election is a vast encouragement to be bold in it!
