Acts 8:5 "Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them."
There are two reasons we are to preach Christ, and both are equally important.
First, because as Christians, it is our business. The business of a farmer is to farm, not a lawyer. The business of a lawyer is to be a lawyer, not a doctor. If you were being sued you would probably hire an attorny to represent you before you would a doctor or a farmer. What you do if you had a plumbling problem? Call a lock smith right? No, you're going to call a plumber because that is his business. Again, it is the Christians business to preach Christ.
The second reason is just as important. We need to preach Christ because for centuries mankind has been searching for a remedy for sin, and every time have failed in doing so. They failed because they did not know Christ the ONLY one who was able to free them. Mohammed cannot save, Confucius cannot save, Buddha cannot save. Jesus Christ can though, and more so He will, because that is what he came for, "to seek and to save that which was lost." And "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we MUST be saved." Acts 4:12
We must be about our Father's business and preach Christ so that people may be saved!
