To show every believer that preaching the gospel of our Lord Jesus to the lost souls and even to those who are falling is our major responsibility commanded by Jesus Christ (Matt 28: 19-20). Comprehensive explanation to this evangelism of a thing could be found in Acts 18: 24-28 and II Cor 11: 23-33.
You were saved when the word was preached to you either through a media (television, radio, magazine, newspaper, journal, internet, etc), through direct sermons in the church or through one-on-one evangelism via tracts, street evangelism or open air crusade and you must also preach to others. There are lots of people who are yet to come to the knowledge of the truth and just as the Apostles did, moving from one place to another, preaching the gospel, you also have the mandate to do same.
You have to be a publisher of glad tidings i.e. a missionary preacher of the gospel (Eph 4:11). You must imbibe the habit of going from one place to another preaching Jesus as Christ and the only Saviour of the world. You must not be shy or be ashamed to do this. Doing this will make you a good child of God and complete you the more in Him.
There are lots of ways of doing this: (a) distribution of tracts (b) street evangelism (c) prison evangelism (d) market evangelism (e) rural evangelism (f) open air crusade (g) Internet evangelism (h) mobile phone (text) evangelism (i) sponsoring any of the above mentioned ways (if not chanced, but there is no way you couldn’t).
Jesus Christ left everything and if He could this, left His home, heavenly family, royal position, glory, etc and only to come to us, going from city to city preaching about God’s Kingdom to be ruled by Him, how much more we as His witnesses need to go out to tell people about Him. We must tell people about His sufferings, pains, agonies, death, His redemptive work, and His resurrection.
Reaching out to souls especially the lost ones is a major responsibility of Christians but which we are not up to. We do it as if we are doing for man. We find it difficult to open our mouth to tell people about Christ so that we will not be mocked. Stand up today and be up doing! This will make you complete the more in Christ, your model!
