Our youth group has been taking an evangelism course and last night went out to practice what they had been learning. Not everyone was glad to see them as they handed out tracts in the mall but that didn't seem to bother them. They arrived back at the school where we were finishing prayer meeting obviously excited. They had no great dramatic stories to tell but they had just finished delivering the greatest news ever known to mankind!
Scripture says in Romans 10 that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
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!"
Wonder where I would be if noone ever preached the good news to me? I know where I would be headed...keep them feet looking good and keep preaching that good news of Jesus Christ! Never know who you might be rescuing from being lost for all eternity!
