Have you ever asked yourself, why should I preach the gospel
0:04
Perhaps you already have a good answer in mind, or maybe you want to know more about this topic
0:10
Thankfully, that's what we are going to discuss today. In this video, I will not just give you the obvious answers
0:16
but also the little-known and even surprising reasons why we should preach the gospel
0:21
So, are you ready? Here are three compelling reasons you should preach the gospel
0:30
1. God commands us to preach the gospel. This is the number one reason why we should preach the gospel
0:42
It is commanded by God. Since this is a commandment of God
0:46
going against this command is a sin. In other words, when we don't preach the gospel, we are sinning
0:52
Obedience to God's commands is a fundamental aspect of our faith. In Matthew 28, 19-20, Jesus gives us the Great Commission
1:02
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
1:09
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age
1:16
This command is clear and unequivocal. Preaching the gospel is not optional
1:21
It is a direct instruction from Jesus himself. By sharing the gospel, we demonstrate our obedience and love for Christ
1:28
fulfilling our duty as his followers. 2. The gospel gives hope. The next reason for us to preach the gospel
1:36
is because of the hope it brings to this dying world. The gospel, centered on the kingdom of God, offers unparalleled hope
1:44
It reassures us that despite the chaos, suffering, and pain we witness in the world today
1:49
a time is coming when God will establish his perfect kingdom on earth
1:53
This kingdom, ushered in by the return of Jesus Christ, will be a place where all sorrow, injustice, and suffering are eradicated
2:02
Revelation 21-4 promises, He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain
2:10
for the old order of things has passed away. Sharing the gospel means sharing this profound hope
2:16
reminding people that a brighter future awaits, a future where God's peace and righteousness will reign supreme
2:23
3. Preaching the gospel hastens the coming of Jesus Christ. Finally, the third reason is understanding
2:30
that preaching the gospel plays a crucial role in hastening the return of Jesus Christ
2:35
Matthew 24-14 tells us, And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world
2:41
as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come
2:46
This scripture underscores that Christ will not return until the gospel has been preached to all the world
2:52
Although it may seem impossible for us to reach every single person
2:57
our efforts are never in vain. God can bless the seeds we sow
3:02
ensuring that the message of his kingdom reaches every corner of the earth
3:06
By engaging in this mission, we play a part in the fulfillment of this prophecy
3:11
and contribute to the anticipation of Christ's return. By preaching the gospel
3:15
we actively participate in God's redemptive work. We serve as ambassadors of Christ
3:20
inviting others into a reconciled relationship with God. This aligns our actions with God's ultimate desire
3:26
for all people to come to repentance and salvation. Conclusion The call to preach the gospel is not just a directive but a privilege
3:35
It allows us to offer hope, obey God's command, express love for others, align with God's redemptive plan
3:41
transform lives, bring glory to God, and expand his kingdom. Let us embrace this mission with joy and dedication
3:49
knowing that through our efforts, we participate in the greatest work of all
3:53
spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to a world in desperate need
3:58
I hope that helps. There's no doubt, preaching the gospel is important
