Passage: Romans 9:30-10:21
Psalm and Proverbs: Psalm 52
Romans 10:8-15
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13 for “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 How then are they to call on Him in whom they have not believed? How are they to believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher? 15 But how are they to preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”
The gospel of salvation is clear, but people must hear it. To hear it, someone must proclaim it. For those far away, the church must send people to proclaim it. Missions are taking the gospel to the least reached and unreached. The question is, do we care about the unreached? Do we really have a heart for them?
Give us Your vision to reach the unreached.
Psalm 52:8-9 (NASB)
But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust in the faithfulness of God forever and ever.
I will praise You forever, because You have done it,
And I will wait on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones.
