a call to go

Romans 10

9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 

10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, 

and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 

11 As the Scriptures tell us, 

“Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” 

12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. 

They have the same Lord, 

who gives generously to all who call on him. 

13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? 

And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? 

And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? 

15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? 

That is why the Scriptures say, 

“How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”

All of my life I have heard the underlined verses used as a means to get people to consider going overseas as missionaries.

I've wondered for quite some time why no one ever uses them for the most obvious reason:

To encourage & challenge us all to simply go to the people all around us with a positive & loving word about who Jesus is, why He came, & what all that can mean to the person with whom we're talking.
