Excerpt from J I Packers book - Evangelism & The Sovereignty of God Gods way of saving men is men is to send out His servants to tell them the gospel, and that the Church has been charged to go into all the world for that very purpose. But this is something that we must not forget. Christs command means that we all should be devoting all our resources of ingenuity and enterprise to the task of making the gospel known in every possible person. Unconcern and inaction with regard to evangelism are always, therefore, inexcusable. And the doctrine of divine sovereignty would be grossly misapplied if we should invoke it in such a way as to lessen the urgency, and immediacy, and priority, and binding constraint, of evangelistic imperative. No revealed truth may be invoked to extenuate sin. God did not teach us the reality of His rule in order to give us an excuse for neglecting His orders.
