In Genesis 1:28, Adam faced a world of endless challenges. God’s word to him was clear: mere subsistence in the new creation was not enough. He was commanded to fill the earth with humanity and to be a caretaker of the plant and animal kingdoms, subduing all for God’s glory and man’s good. These tasks were not possible for Adam and Eve to complete alone; the commands were given to individuals, but the scope of the commands indicated that God intended mankind as a whole to fulfill them.

2. Once deciphered in one of the lectures by Dr. Jerry Johnston when he kept
encouraging people to submit to God’s Word, he truly wanted to submit the
Christ’s word to the manhood stating why we should preach the Gospel? If this
could be contemplated from the words of scriptures itself then, it would move like
this:

3. When the task were not possible for Adam and Eve to complete alone:
__________________________________________________________________
Christ already made clear that he want “his people were to be a loving, worshiping
community (John 4:21-24; 13:34-35) set apart to glorify God (Matt. 25:34-40;
John 15:8).

The Desire of Christ:

4. But the words did not see the departure point here. He continued…
__________________________________________
He desired a conquering community, set apart for the task of multiplying disciples
who would fill the earth with new covenant communities made up of baptized men,
women and children from every nation (Acts 2:5; 10:35; Rev. 7:9; 14:6), teaching
and obeying everything that our all-powerful Lord has taught in his word.

Why Should We Devote Our Time
In Preaching The Gospel?
If seen, Christ alone possesses the absolute authority to exercise such dominion
over the world, but in commanding his people to evangelize the world and to make
disciples, he has delegated a portion of that authority to the Church, giving it the
responsibility to preach the Gospel effectively.

6. So, when the Word of God itself says, Preach the Word; be instant in season, out
of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. (II
Timothy 4:2) So, why not preach from the heart and touch another heart and
why not convey people to keep away from a certain kind of evil and sow in them
a raised plant of humanity inculcating all the essential values and virtues that
could feed their soul by teachings of Christ which can be done through the
medium like that of Christian life coaching or by spiritual books penned by
renowned pastors.
Although this might seem an impossible task, it is not-Jesus has also assured the
temporal and eternal success of the Church’s mission (Col. 2:13-15; Rev. 17:14).
Take the Book from the holy words of Dr. Jerry Johnston who first began
preaching in 1974, having ministered in over 1,200 churches throughout North
America and the world, and captivating youth on over 2,500 public school
campuses addressing vital issues. He has authored thirteen books, including
“Learning How to Preach the Gospel”. Take a look:

8. Christian Life Coaching: “Converting
the Soul from Trusting Self to Trusting
Christ”
Christian life coaches while preaching the gospel takes us closer to the:
The Truth About God
The Truth About Man
The Truth About Christ
The Truth About Salvation
And we must proclaim the gospel because it is the power of God for salvation to
everyone who believes. And when you proclaim it, stay focused on the person and
work of Jesus Christ. Tell other souls who He is? Why he came to the earth? And
show people from scriptures that yet not we have added our good works to what
Christ accomplished on the cross.
So, complete your deeds in action, be merciful and keep learning & preaching the
gospel.

9. Final Words:
Jesus said “the gospel will be preached” (Ma. 24:14), “the gospel is preached,” (Ma.
26:13), and that “the gospel must be preached” (Mk. 13:10). “I am compelled to
preach,” Paul says. “Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel” (1Co. 9:16). The
fundamental nature of our calling is that we “Go into the entire world and preach
the gospel” (Mk. 16:15). As contemporary preachers, we should understand our
responsibility to continue in this gospel train.
