Why Should We Preach the Gospel?
Matthew 28:18-20

Introduction: Some people show their temper by just hearing about missionary work.혻 We have good faith in God. Why should we preach the gospel in foreign countries?혻 The answer is very simple.혻 If there is a person struggling in the river and you have a boat and could save that person, how could you just pretend not to know about that situation?혻 Or if you just watch your neighbor's house on fire and don't even call the emergency number for help, you are a bad person.혻 We cannot just leave people alone when we know that they will suffer in hell if they don?셳 believe in Jesus.혻 Then, is Jesus Christ the only way to be saved?혻 Of course!혻 The Bible says, ?쏻hoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him" (Jn 3:36).
