Passion for Evangelism

While reading through Dr. Voddie Baucham's book The Ever-Loving Truth, I came across this wonderful paragraph on evangelism:

"Ultimately, a believer's commitment to preaching the word must be born out of a passion for lost people. Until we realize that Jesus is the only way to salvation and that those who do not know him as Lord and Savior will perish, we will continue to trade obedience for security. However, once we get a glimpse of the reality and finality of the fate of the lost, we will preach Jesus."1
