One of the most essential mandates as a believer is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are instructed to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ on how He died for our sins so that whoever believes in him will be forgiven their sins and receive eternal life. (John 3:16 Roman 10:9).

Although it’s vital that we rely on the Holy Spirit to guide us in evangelizing, it’s also taught within the scripture that we are tactful in saving souls, in Matthew 10:16 Jesus emphasized in the scripture how we are to strategically propagate the gospel “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.”
