How to Spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Be Motivated and Propelled to Do So

What should motivate and propel us to spread the Gospel?

Most of us fail to share the Gospel with others because we do not realize the extent of God’s wrath against sinners or of His future judgment on them. If we do not spread the Gospel, we are in turn allowing many to perish eternally. Is that what we really want? Do we want our loved ones to die forever without taking part in the future resurrection?

Thus, what we decide to do–whether to tell the Good News to others–is based on our love for fellow humanity or lack of it. In fact, our action reflects our heart attitude toward Yahweh God, Jesus Christ, and our fellow human beings. If we put God and Christ in the number one spot in our hearts, our love for them will motivate and propel us to spread the Gospel so people can be added to God’s Kingdom. Remember, how we treat others show how we feel toward Yahweh and Jesus.

Let’s not keep God’s blessings all to ourselves. Just as receiving the gift of salvation is a personal choice, deciding to take an active part in God’s mission is a personal choice we all have.

Now that we’re motivated by our love for God, Jesus and fellow humanity to spread the Good News, how can we do so? How should we prepare?

We should spread the Gospel by both our words and deeds. Jesus taught His disciples God’s principles not only through words but more so through his works. Like our Master, when we evangelize, we should live in accordance with what we teach, and our Christ-like lifestyle will speak for us and convince non-believers the benefits of Christian living. Simply put, we should live what we preach. If we say, “Don’t steal,” and yet commit theft ourselves, what kind of message would that convey to non-Christians?

Jesus and the early apostles took the Good News wherever they went to whomever they met. Likewise, we should be ready to share the Gospel anytime, anywhere, to anyone. God will always provide us with the opportunities; we just have to seize every chance we get. In our modern world with its technological advances, we should use every avenue possible to spread the Gospel. Such avenues include television and radio broadcasts; Christian books, CDs, audio and video recordings; and Christian websites and Internet groups.

But before we began spreading the Gospel, we must prepare for it by first studying the Bible. How can we preach what we don’t first understand ourselves? Thus, a decent understanding of Biblical truths is fundamental in evangelism. We have to understand the Gospel message backward and forward, specifically why faith in Jesus is the only way to salvation, why we need salvation in the first place, and what is the consequence of refusing salvation through Jesus Christ.

Most Christians cannot explain why they are Christians, why they believe what they believe, why the Bible is true and entirely trustworthy, and why faith in Christ is the only way to salvation.

When we have fulfilled our evangelistic duties out of love for God and humankind, our Master will say to us, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.” (Matthew 25:21) Amen!
