इफिसियों 6:15
पैरों में शांति के सुसमाचार सुनाने की तत्परता के जूते धारण करके तुम लोग अटल खड़े रहो।Ephesians 6:15and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
3. The Shoes - Gospel of Peace - Gospelization
In the Bible foot is the symbol of direction or a walk. Gospel of peace is the good news of salvation. It is symbolized with shoes so that our direction will be always towards unsaved fallen world. Every job or business in this world is a kind of help of one human being to another human being or a society. For an instance, if a guy sells packaged water in train, no doubt he is making money out of it, but on the flip side of the coin he is quenching the thirst of the masses who come and buy them. Similarly, amidst the vast variety of works, the work of gospelisation is supreme. Because it's Spirit business.
Saving a soul from eternal damnation is greatest help that you can ever do to anyone. As we have been saved, it's our responsibility to share this news of salvation to unsaved.
This is where real battle begins. It's only with the salvation work that we encroach the territory of Satan's strongholds. Gospel work is snatching people form form hell, its the task of challenging Satan on his territory, its a task of jeopardizing one's life for others. This is what makes Satan most furious.
Remember in Matthew's gospel chapter 28, what Jesus commanded, Go and make disciples, there is no word as such believers but disciples. So every believer is a disciple.
Above all, Man gets an honour to partner God in accomplishing His divine plan. It's significant to realize that joining the task of sharing gospel is a privilege. It's more honourable than any business or job of this world. It has better reward than any treasury of this world. This gives more satisfaction than any other work you could do on the earth. At the same time, this has more risk than other job of this world. This has more challenges because children of darkness don't want to let your light shine over them. Jesus said this world will hate you as they hated me. Present world had money, power and fame but no peace.

The true peace, that human soul is persistently searching, is not found in the riches of this world, neither in the aesthetic of any corner of this globe but only and only in the name of Jesus. Let's fill this world with the peace of God. Isaiah 52:7 how beautiful art the feet that bringth good news.
