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.

The New Covenant is one that runs on the wheels of love and as Believers, love is as oxygen to us; we should continually be given to love as Christ loves.

Man was created in God’s image as a spirit, soul and body, with a will and the freedom to choose God. At the fall, man did not only sin, he died spiritually and became separated from God, the source of life. Sin corrupted man’s nature, his will and his ability to truly please God, making every man naturally vulnerable to depravity.

Due to his condition, salvation could not come by human effort. God, in His responsibility and love for man, made provision through the plan of redemption in Christ. The new birth therefore became a necessity, not an option.

This is why we preach the Gospel of Christ: because only through grace, received by faith, can man be restored to God. And only through the preaching of the gospel can that grace reach the heart of man.
