Spreading the gospel message is essential as it proclaims God's plan of salvation and fulfills the command of Jesus in the Great Commission.
The imperative to spread the gospel stems from the profound truth that it is the means through which God saves His chosen people. In Matthew 28:19-20, the Great Commission commands believers to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to observe all that Christ has commanded. The gospel not only reveals God's redemptive plan but also addresses the urgency of eternal consequences for those who do not believe. Christians have a responsibility to share this life-giving message, for it is through hearing and believing the gospel that individuals are drawn to faith (Romans 10:14-15). Thus, the act of evangelism becomes an expression of love for both God and neighbor, highlighting the necessity of proclaiming the message of Christ to all.
