Missions and Evangelism by the local church

Missions and evangelism is very important in the local church because God has commanded it (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8). No one can be saved without receiving the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Savior (John 3:16). 

God declares through Apostle Paul in Romans 10: 13, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Then, the Apostle continues in verse 14 and 15: " How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

Saved members in local churches must be so filled with thanksgiving and gratitude to their Savior that they are determined to consecrate the rest of their lives to love and serve God and others. God wants no one to perish but everyone to come to repentance and faith in Him (2 Peter 3:9). So, all regenerated local churches must actively do missions and evangelism until Jesus Christ returns.
