Salvation is never accidental; it begins when people hear the Gospel and respond in faith. However, faith can only come through hearing, and hearing is only possible when the Gospel of Christ is preached. God has given every believer the responsibility to share this message, while He alone works salvation in the hearts of those who receive it.
Preaching the Gospel is therefore the first and most important step in helping people encounter Christ. The Gospel is not just a message, it is God’s power at work, bringing salvation, healing, restoration, fruitfulness, establishment, and victory into the lives of men and women. When we tell people what Christ has already done concerning their situations, God releases His power through that message.
Believers are not left to do this work by their own strength. The Holy Spirit lives within us, drawing us to obey God, helping us in our weaknesses, and empowering us to live and minister victoriously. Through the help of the Holy Spirit, we are able to boldly and consistently preach the Gospel of Christ everywhere and at every opportunity.
