Anagkazo Part 2

Luke 14:23KJV And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

Last week, we established reasons why people don't readily accept the gospel and reasons why we must preach the gospel. This is the concluding part on why we must preach the gospel.

It is normal for people to make excuses, especially when they don't know what's in store for them. But we as believers must be bold to show the world that the Gospel is the only means, while Jesus is the only way.Never be ashamed to tell men about the Gospel, for the gift of grace await every man that come to God for salvation. For we are saved by grace through faith, it is the gift of God, according to Eph. 2:8

Rom.1:16-17KJV
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
 

Rom 1:17  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

4) The great commission:
Mat. 28:18-20KJV
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
 

Mat 28:19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
 

Mat 28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Jesus commanded us to preach the gospel. According to mat.28:18, Jesus said 'all power is given unto me' and he went further to say 'go ye therefore'. Go ye implies a commandment, it is a must, we just have to preach. As Christ representative and ambassador on earth, we must go out of the way to save the lost at all cost. Jesus gave authority to us as believers, and we have what it takes to save the lost, for in Mark 16:17 that signs will follow them that believed as they go out to preach. Our duty is to preach, and it is God's own to confirm his word.

Let us not bother ourselves with the how, but we should hold on to his word and know that he will fulfill his part.

5) The harvest is great.
John4:35KJV
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

I remember the encounter Morris Cerullo shared years ago, of how he saw a vision where multitude were walking on a very board road, laughing and enjoying the walk not knowing that at the end of the road was a big pit of inferno, but it was too late to return because of the pressure of the people behind them. Each time people fall into the inferno they make terrible noise, but those on the road can not hear.

Let us not be ashamed to preach the gospel, the unbelievers are not ashamed of their shameful product, neither should we be ashamed of the gospel, there are multitude that need to be saved, the harvest indeed is great, let us go out and save them out of fire. It's time we bring the gospel out of the dark into the light, it's time we stand up to declare the truth. We can't afford to be passive about the gospel, the harvest is great.
