Make Christ Known

…and how shall they hear without a preacher? – Romans 10:14

How can they hear without a preacher? Now, let every one of you become, in the sense in which the text means it, a preacher, by telling out in some form or other, and making known in some way or other, the wondrous doctrine of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ. Speak to an individual, if you can. If you cannot do that, write. If you cannot write, send a sermon, or give a tract. Only do keep on making Christ known….If every one of you Christians would every day make Christ known to somebody, what a missionary organization we should be!

It is pitiable that anybody should live and die without knowing the Gospel.

The more earnest a man is to win souls, the more he is shocked, amazed, and appalled by the necessity there is to keep on making known the Gospel of Christ…We, to whom the text alludes, who are the preachers of this Gospel of peace, say to you: “Sinner, throw down your weapons of rebellion. Guilty one, fight no longer against God; come, and be at peace with Him. His peace is proclaimed to you through Jesus Christ. He will freely forgive you every transgression and iniquity; He is ready to forget and blot it all out. God invites you to be reconciled to Him, to have done with warring against Him. We preach peace to you; and, if you hear us, we then tell you glad tidings of good things, full pardon for all the past, a change of heart to be given to you, to make you a new creature in Christ Jesus; help for the future to strive against sin; strength to conquer and tread the dragon beneath your feet, power to become a child of God, to become an heir of heaven, to be taken under the guardian wing of Providence, to be directed by the infinite wisdom of the Holy Spirit.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon
