The Command To Go

I believe that every Christian is commanded to share the gospel. When God says "Go into all the world and preach the gospel," he isn't talking to only the missionaries and the pastors, he is talking to everyone that is a Christ follower. Isaiah 61 says "The Lord has anointed ME to bring the good news to the poor. He has sent ME to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners." As Christians we are supposed to be a light unto the world. We are told to tell others about Christ so that they will see all the good things that he does and then they too will want to follow Christ.  The word Christian means Christ follower. If we are supposed to be following him then we will be making disciples because that is what he did when he came to earth. He had twelve disciples. He told them to go to the lost sheep. He said they would even stand before Kings and Queens and they were to tell them and all the nations about Jesus. So this isn't something that you can decide whether or not you want to be a part of it, you are told to do this, so go do it!


Romans 10:14-15 "...How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him in whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach , except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them who preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things."
