Evangelism should never be limited to conversion… Regeneration certainly must be the first step, but by limiting evangelism to conversion the newly redeemed sinner often receives the impression that he has been saved for his own sake rather than for the Lord’s sake. This is certainly not the case. “Evangelism presents the total claims of the triune God upon man and his whole life and world. Man is not saved merely to enjoy heaven but to serve the Lord with all his heart, mind, and being, and his neighbor as himself. This means seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Our salvation thus has a purpose beyond ourselves: it is the Kingdom of God and our service to Him. It is a restoration to our dominion calling. It begins with regeneration, it continues with sanctification and dominion.” (R.J. Rushdoony)
