People must hear and learn in order to come to Jesus. Christians are God's chosen instruments by which His word is taught, and we need to do our very best in this important task. D. God's work of the church requires it. It is the pillar and ground of the truth. It upholds, defends and proclaims the truth.
Churches are light-bearers.
This is the sign of the times. Many are so wrapped up in social activities, committees, etc., that they have lost sight of the true mission of the church. Winning souls is the real work of the church and we need to continue to put much stress on it. E. God's commands to the individual Christian demands it. All Christians have the responsibility to warn.
