The task of spreading the Gospel is both a command and a privilege.
Yet, too often, we shy away from sharing this life-changing message, thinking we are unqualified or not called.
The Bible, however, calls each believer to be a messenger of God’s truth, to proclaim His love, and to share the good news with a world in desperate need.
It is a mission that requires courage, wisdom, and the willingness to go beyond our comfort zones.
Spreading the Gospel is not just for preachers or missionaries—it is for every believer, wherever they are.
Let’s dive into Scripture to see the call to share the Gospel and understand its significance for our lives and the world.
