How Will They Know?

Romans 10:13-15 [13] For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”  [14] How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? [15] And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!"

Let me ask us all a question to consider. What if we found out, personally, that there was a sure cure for cancer, and it was the only way anyone could be cured 100%? How many people would we tell? How many things have we boldly shared with others, not even really knowing it was true, but moreso because it was our strongly held opinion? Some of us have even shared things, only to later find out that what we shared was not true. If this is so, why are we so hesitant to share the one truth that will do more for anyone than any number of medical break throughs? The single most important message we could share with others has become the world best kept secret...the Good News of what God did for us. The bottom line is that we have a message that can change lives for eternity. We have been called to preach the Gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). We have been sent to proclaim what Jesus did for a lost and dying world, and that means that we should be looking for every opportunity to share the only cure for the deadliest disease that exists today...the cure for sin. That cure is salvation in the only Way to the Father; the only Name by which anyone can be saved...Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords. There is only one Way, and one Cure. We hold the truth that will bring ultimate healing to anyone who believes and is willing to put their complete trust in the One who purchased salvation for us with His Blood. It is far past the time that we stop allowing the enemy, and the world, intimidate us. We need to pray for boldness and humility, and begin to open our mouths, before it's too late. How will they call on Him, and change their eternal destination, if we won't open our mouths and tell them?

Today, God extends an invitation to you to accept His free gift of salvation (Romans 6:23). Will you accept it? Anyone who calls on the Name of Jesus, by faith, in repentance, confessing your sins, will receive eternal life. Do not put off calling on Him, and receive His free gift of salvation (Romans 10:13).
