The Lord's command to spread the gospel to all nations is a central theme in Scripture. As recorded in Matthew and Mark, Jesus instructed His disciples to share the good news with others, both near and far, as seen in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) and the healing of the demon-possessed man (Mark 5:19-20). The early church in Acts 1:8 and the teachings of Paul in Romans and 1 Corinthians emphasize the importance of proclaiming the gospel to all people, regardless of their background or location. By following the example of faithful apostles and disciples, believers are encouraged to imitate their devotion to sharing the message of salvation with others, as Paul exhorts in 1 Corinthians.
