WHY DO WE PREACH THE GOSPEL

WHY DO WE PREACH THE GOSPEL
This is what I was taught one evening at a meeting with brethren
MOTIVATING FACTORS
Meaning, things that makes us behave the way we do
They are
1.Compulsion
 2.Constraint
3. Convenience
 4.CONVICTION
when behave base on this 4
We meet both advantages and disadvantages
However, the class ended with the greater emphasis on having the right conviction for our behavior
We as Christians should be convinced rightly (base on God's word) in every thing we do.

And so I would like to talk more about CONVICTION

why is it that as Christians, some people are more passionate about preach the gospel than others
Some will travel moon and back all for the purpose of the Gospel of Jesus Christ


The distinguishing factor is having the Right CONVICTION
Are you doing God's work because it's convenient for you?
Are you doing doing God's will out of constraint?
Are you worshiping God out of compulsion ?

Now let's see what the scriptures say
Phil 1:14-16
14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds,  are much more bold to speak the word without fear
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife :and some also of good will............

You see some preach Christ though, but are not convicted
And so they are doing it out of envy
Those who do it out of good will are those who are rightly convinced

We should be rightly convinced that Christ died for our sins 1st cor 15:3
And has asked us to tell this good news to the world Matt 28:18-20
This is why we do evangelism
It's out of our conviction

Visit any Church of Christ around you
Rom 16:16
