“And he said to them, ’Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.’” - Mark 16:15
Why is evangelism essential to a life of wisdom?

The verbs in Scripture mean so much to our understanding of a verse. Jesus told his disciples to “proclaim” the gospel to the whole creation. Our world considers it politically incorrect to say that one person’s faith is more important than another’s.
All Christians find it difficult to share our faith without emphasizing that we worship the Christ who is the only Son of the only God. Yet, that is the gospel truth we are to “proclaim” to the whole world.
Jesus said, “Go.” He didn’t say it as an encouragement or a suggestion. He commanded his disciples to proclaim the gospel, and he still does.
Wisdom is joyfully sharing God with others. Our message is wisdom, our motivation is joy, and our obedience is required. Will you pray for God to inspire your testimony of faith this month? It’s time to “go” and time to “proclaim” the wise truth of our great God.
