Ref: Romans 6:15-16, 15 What then?

Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By
no means! (How should grace be viewed)

Is it a sin not to share the Gospel?

Two kinds of sins: the sins of commission and the sins of omission.
The Bible says, “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for
them” (James 4:17 NIV).
If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the
wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity,
but his blood I will require at your hand. ( Ezekiel 3:18 ESV)

Reasons We Don’t Share the Gospel

The word of God takes off like this, with a life of its own, in the story of Acts:
 “But the word of God increased and multiplied.” (Acts 12:24)
 “And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region.” (Acts 13:49)
 “So the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily.” (Acts 19:20)

So if the word of God — the good news of Jesus Christ — inherently possesses the power to
increase and multiply through the work of the Holy Spirit, then why is evangelism so difficult? Why
don’t we share the gospel more than we do?

Obstacles in Sharing the Good News

1. Lack of Gospel Knowledge
2. Apathy (lack of interest/concern)
3. Fear & Shame
4. Lack of Compassion

We Overcome Obstacles Together, Not Alone

If making disciples is our mission (Matthew 28:18–20), how can followers of Christ overcome these
obstacles to be conduits of grace to the lost?
We are people who have died to ourselves and live for Christ (Galatians 2:20). We have the
profound privilege of spurring on fellow believers to love and good works that God has set before
us (Hebrews 10:24; Ephesians 2:10).

1. Pray Together for the Lost

2. Recall the Gospel Together
3. Apply the Gospel Together
4. Prove the Power of the Gospel Together
.

Why Should We Not Be Ashamed of the Gospel?

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to
everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile” (Romans 1:16).

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that
hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for
us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he
endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose
heart” (Hebrews 12:1-3).

Jesus went through the shame and humiliation of the cross just for us.. If He would go through
that for you and me then we should stand tall and proclaim the Gospel without any
embarrassment or fear of humiliation.
