Chosen By God: Teaching the Doctrine of Election to Encourage our People in Outreach

Abstract

While it is considered by many as a difficult and tricky doctrine, Scripture shows us that election is nothing to be afraid of. It is the purpose of this thesis to explore the application of this doctrine to our gospel outreach. The thesis starts with the basics from Scripture that support the doctrine of election. After that, it takes a closer examination of the importance of teaching election from an early age, then offers other instances where a pastor may have the opportunity to teach election and connect it to evangelism. Following this, the paper closes with some of the challenges one might face as they connect election to outreach.
