How do we know the importance of sharing the gospel?

The importance of sharing the gospel is underscored throughout Scripture and is rooted in the very mission of the church. The precept of proclaiming good news is not just a suggestion but a command that reflects the heart of God who desires all to come to repentance. The act of withholding the bread of life—Jesus, our Savior—results not only in stagnation of one’s own faith but contributes to the spiritual famine faced by many. As Matthew 28:19-20 urges, believers are called to make disciples of all nations, emphasizing that every Christian is entrusted with the sacred duty to share the gospel and demonstrate Christ's love, thus avoiding the curse of hoarding spiritual wealth.
