The Bible teaches that believers should faithfully proclaim Christ, praying that God will graciously bring people from death to life through the gospel. Proverbs 11:30 commends the wise who win souls, pointing to the life-giving fruit of godly witness. Romans 10:9 declares that those who confess Jesus as Lord and believe God raised Him from the dead will be saved. In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands His church to make disciples of all nations. Christians therefore speak with love and urgency, yet humbly remember that salvation belongs to the Lord, who alone changes hearts.
