Reasons for the Preaching of the Gospel
Mark 16:15
And he said to them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.


I. THE WORLD KNOWS NOT GOD. By its own wisdom it cannot find Him out. Instruction needed which God alone can impart. God has imparted the knowledge of Divine things to some, and ordered them to convey that knowledge to the rest of the world.

II. THE TEMPORAL MISERIES OF THE HEATHEN ARE VERY GREAT. To what torture do they submit in their blind devotion to false gods! Hasten to lead them out of their ignorance and superstition into the light of the knowledge of the only true God.

III. THE WOE THAT AWAITS THEM BEYOND THE GRAVE. What an education for eternity is theirs!

IV. THE GOSPEL IS THE POWER OF GOD TO EVERYONE WHO RECEIVES IT.

(H. Townley.)
