How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
Romans 10:14-15
There is a chain of gospel living that begins with Christians obeying the Great Commission. We live sent with the good news of the gospel to go out into the world and proclaim it. And just who are the preachers of the gospel who are sent? They are Christians... all Christians... no exceptions. All of us have the call to be a disciple who wants to make disciples laid upon us. All of us should go out ready to let other people around us know the good news of salvation found in Jesus.
Once we see ourselves as deliberately placed in our world as gospel proclaimers, we can then tell the good news to those who have not heard so that they may believe, call on the name of the Lord for salvation, and be saved. And in so doing, they too can join the call on them once they believe to also share the good news. And a multiplication of disciplemakers will occur when those who believe in Jesus also believe His call to share good news.
And I must obey that call. I must faithfully proclaim the gospel not only in Sunday preaching when I am given that opportunity, but also in Monday conversation when I am given those opportunities. I must be about the gospel. I must be about loving Jesus, living for Him, and telling others of how he saves. I am sent. I must preach so others can hear and believe.
