The apostle disdained slick presentation and persuasive arguments. Instead, the focus of his message was that Christ was sacrificed and rose from the dead to secure our fellowship with the Holy Lord. And Paul put all his faith and effort into ensuring his message was accompanied by “a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.”

It is undeniable from a careful study of evangelism in New Testament times that signs and wonders were part of this demonstration of power that confirmed the divine origin of the message. Nevertheless, in Scripture after Scripture we keep discovering that the life that the evangelist lived is another vital aspect of the spiritual confirmation of truth and power of the gospel.
