Jesus has given his followers the authority to share the good news with everyone. God intends to spread the good news that He created a pathway to Heaven for all sinners. When we understand what God has revealed through Jesus, we should also reach out to, preach to, and serve those who do not believe.
We are on the wrong path if we believe that knowing Jesus alone is enough. Reaching out to those who have not yet accepted the light and ministering to them will help us to further the kingdom of God.
Let’s have a look at the following Bible verses that will encourage us to feel the burden to reach out to nonbelievers and share the gospel with them.
