The Spread of the Gospel and Our Obedience

찬송 : 찬송가 255장 (새찬송가 501장)
2018-09-22 [로마서(Romans) 10:14 - 10:21]

14	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?
15	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!"
16	But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?"
17	So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
18	But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."
19	But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry."
20	Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, "I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me."
21	But of Israel he says, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people."

2018-09-22 One cannot have faith in Jesus without hearing the gospel; one cannot share Jesus without having faith in Jesus. Just as one plus one equals two, only a believer can share the gospel.

이해하기(Understanding)
For anyone to be saved, they need to hear and believe in Jesus’ name. For someone to hear and believe in that name, another person has to be sent to share His divine name. The gospel is shared by those who have been sent. The gospel had already been shared in Israel through the priests and prophets. However, they did not have faith that Jesus was the promised Messiah. The Israelites did not listen to that gospel, but the Gentiles did. Since faith comes from hearing the gospel, the work of sharing the gospel is imperative (vv. 14-17). The reason why the people of Israel rejected the gospel was not because they did not understand it, but rather because of disobedience. However, Paul writes that God stretches out His arms and waits for those who rejected the gospel because of disobedience to return to Him (vv. 18-21).

적용하기(Applying)
Who is God?
God stretches out His arms of salvation. In order to save us, God sent His son Jesus Christ and then used many Christfollowers to share the gospel so that many would hear it. Feel the heart of God, who today continues to stretch out His arms, to welcome back those that need to return to Him.

What is the lesson for me(us)?
Someone can only hear the gospel when it is shared. Faith comes only from hearing and accepting the Gospel. Just as you came to faith in Jesus by hearing the gospel, God wants you to be a resounding horn for the gospel. Who is someone you can share the gospel with?

기도하기(Praying)
God! Help me to share the gospel with my friends.
