How do we know the call to share the gospel is important?

The importance of the call to share the gospel is underscored by the teachings of Jesus throughout the New Testament. In Matthew 9:36-38, Jesus expresses compassion for the lost and urges His disciples to pray for more laborers in the harvest, highlighting the urgency and necessity of reaching others with the gospel message. Furthermore, Proverbs 11:30 states, 'He that winneth souls is wise,' which indicates that soul-winning is a mark of wisdom in the eyes of God. This desire isn't just a suggestion but a divine command and an integral part of living out one's faith. A true understanding of salvation leads to a burden for the lost—a reflection of God’s heart towards people.
