三、里面的呼声─信徒内心责任的催促
有一件事是非常奇妙的，就是我们每一个人一得救，就自然觉得该传福音；不传，就觉得对不起人，有亏欠，心中虚空，不平安。我们无论什么时候，一对人传福音，心中就满了喜乐，有满足，有平安。并且越传越快乐、越释放、越舒服。这是因为主把传福音的责任，随着祂的救恩，托付了我们。我们一蒙到祂的救恩，就受了祂这个托付，有了一个属灵自然的责任，这责任在我们的内心，常因着圣灵的感动，成为一个负担，成为一种催促的声音，要我们非去向人传福音不可；不去传，就觉得“有祸了”。在外人看，我们基督徒传福音，是非常热心，其实在我们自己觉得，这“是不得已的”，是由于内心一种责任感的催逼的。这种出于责任感的声音，可说是关于福音需要第三方面的呼声，是在我们里面的，是我们不能不听从的。
经文：有……人站着求他说，请你……来帮助我们。（徒十六9）
四、外面的呼声─说出今日人急切的需要
这是当日那为福音热心，到处奔跑传扬的保罗，在异象中看见并听见，马其顿人对他所发出的呼声。这种呼声，可说是关于福音需要第四方面的呼声，是来自在我们之外的人，说出他们急切需要的。这种马其顿的呼声，在今日是多而迫切的！可惜我们因着心情不够，感觉迟钝，就忽略了，或者甚至听不见。我们该求主打动并加增我们的心情，使我们里面的感觉敏锐，能感觉今日人对福音急迫的需要，听见他们情切的呼声，而答应他们渴望的要求，去在福音上帮助他们。

Gospel Preaching – The Fourfold Calling (2)
3. The Calling from Within – The Urging of a Believer’s Inner Responsibility (1 Cor. 9:16-17)
There is something truly marvelous – as soon as we are saved, we naturally feel the need to preach the gospel. If we do not preach, we feel guilty, indebted and our hearts are empty and restless. Whenever we preach the gospel to others, our hearts are filled with joy, satisfaction and peace. The more we preach, the happier, more liberated, and more comfortable we become. This is because the Lord has entrusted us with the responsibility of preaching the gospel along with His salvation. The moment we receive His salvation, we receive this trust, and a spiritual responsibility is placed within us. This responsibility, stirred by the Holy Spirit, becomes a burden and an urging voice within, compelling us to preach the gospel to others. If we do not preach, we feel, “Woe to me!” To outsiders, it may seem that Christians are enthusiastic about preaching the gospel, but to us, it feels as if “we have no choice.” This compulsion comes from an inner sense of duty. This voice, born out of a sense of responsibility, can be considered the third calling regarding the need for the gospel. It comes from within us, and we cannot ignore it.
4. The Calling from Without – Expressing the Urgent Need of People Today (Acts 16:9)
This is the calling that Paul, who was passionate about preaching the gospel everywhere, saw and heard in a vision – the Macedonian man calling out to him. This calling represents the fourth aspect of the gospel’s need, coming from people outside of us, expressing their urgent need. The Macedonian call is abundant and urgent today! Unfortunately, because of our lack of sensitivity and dullness of feeling, we either neglect it or fail to hear it. We should ask the Lord to stir and increase our compassion, making us sensitive enough to perceive people’s urgent need for the gospel today. May we hear their heartfelt cries and respond to their longing request by helping them with the gospel.
