What does the Bible say about the harvest and laborers?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few, and believers are instructed to pray for more laborers in God's harvest.
In Luke 10:2, Jesus states, 'The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few.' This highlights the abundant need for the Gospel to be preached and for souls to be saved. Believers are encouraged to pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out more laborers. This underlines not only the importance of evangelism but also the sovereignty of God in deeming who will come to Him. The proclamation of the Gospel is a vital work that God has ordained, and it is through His Spirit that the harvest will indeed be gathered.
