Got Jesus

Romans 10:12-15 (Amplified Bible) [No one] for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. The same Lord is Lord over all [of us] and He generously bestows His riches upon all who call upon Him [in faith]. For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord] will be saved. But how are people to call upon Him Whom they have not believed [in Whom they have no faith, on Whom they have no reliance]? And how are they to believe in Him [adhere to, trust in, and rely upon Him] of Whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher? And how can men [be expected to] preach unless they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings! [How welcome is the coming of those who preach the good news of His good things!]

The Word claims that God sees no difference in Jew and Greek. The only distinction recognized by God is whether or not we accepted Jesus as our Savior. Jesus opened a path for us to have access to the Father. Everyone and anyone can have that access but they must go through Jesus. But someone must tell them about Jesus and what He did for us. I heard someone explain this as one beggar telling another beggar where to find food. With the awesome blessings bestowed on us how can we not tell the world what an awesome God He is. We cannot decide who deserves the salvation of Christ, we must testify to everyone and anyone. Jesus said to love our neighbor; we do not love their sin but that love testifies of Jesus.

Love and God Bless,
