主的吩咐
（一）“你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，将他们浸入父、子、圣灵的名里。”（太二八19）
（二）“你们往普天下去，向一切受造之物传扬福音。”（可十六15）
主耶稣借着祂的死而复活，将神为祂拣选的人所计划的救赎完成了以后，在离世升天的时候，就吩咐祂的门徒，往普天下去，向一切受造之物传扬祂的福音，使万民作祂的门徒，将他们浸入三一神里面。这个吩咐乃是严肃的，不只是给当时在主跟前的门徒，也是给历代所有信入主，蒙了祂救恩的人。所以我们要郑重的接受这吩咐，去广传主的福音。
传福音的另外说法
（一）作见证——“要……直到地极，作我的见证。”（徒一8）
（二）领人归主——“安得烈……先找着自己的哥哥西门，……领他到耶稣那里。”（约一40-42）
（三）撒种——“收积五谷归入永远的生命，叫撒种的和收割的一同欢乐。”（约四36）
（四）收割庄稼——“求庄稼的主，催赶工人收割祂的庄稼。”（太九38）
（五）还债——“无论对……人，我都是欠债的。……我……要将福音也传给你们。”（罗一14-15）
（六）结果子——“我（主）拣选了你们，并且派你们前去结果子。”（约十五16）
以上六处经文所说的为主作见证、领人归主、撒种、收割庄稼、还债和结果子，都是传福音的另外说法。

Preaching the Gospel Is the Lord’s Command – Matt. 28:19
The Lord’s Command
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19). “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation” (Mark 16:15).
After completing the redemption planned by God for His chosen people through His death and resurrection, the Lord Jesus gave His disciples this command before ascending to heaven: to go into all the world, preach the gospel to all creation, make disciples of all nations, and baptize them into the Triune God. This command is solemn and is not only directed at the disciples present at that time but also to all who believe in the Lord and have received His salvation throughout the ages. Therefore, we should wholeheartedly receive this command and spread the gospel far and wide.
Other Ways to Express “Preaching the Gospel”
- Being a Witness – “You shall be my witnesses… even to the remotest part of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
- Bringing Others to the Lord – “Andrew… who found first his brother Simon and… brought him to Jesus” (John 1:40-42).
- Sowing Seeds –“Gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together” (John 4:36).
- Reaping the Harvest – “Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest” (Matt. 9:38).
- Paying a Debt – “I am under obligation… to both Greeks and barbarians… I am eager to preach the gospel to you” (Rom. 1:14-15).
- Bearing Fruit – “I (the Lord) chose you and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit” (John 15:16).
The six verses mentioned above – being a witness, bringing others to the Lord, sowing seeds, reaping the harvest, paying a debt and bearing fruit – are all other ways to preach the gospel.
