A born-again Christian may preach the gospel of Jesus Christ if he has read and studied the New Testament in the Bible. Historically, both the Apostle Peter and the Apostle Paul were the first to preach the gospel after the resurrection of Jesus. Peter preached to the Jews, Paul was sent by Jesus to preach the gospel to the Gentiles (non-Jews). Thereafter, ordinary Christians "gossiped the gospel" throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. Once the church became established in the Roman Empire, preaching of the gospel became the job of the "professional clergy". Nowadays, an increasing number of born-again Christians seek to preach the gospel in their family, workplace and community, since few nowadays attend church, and so will never hear the gospel otherwise.
