Truth 1: All people have knowledge of God – As evidenced by the fact that all cultures create gods to worship and some people choose not to worship them.
Truth 2: All people reject God – People choose to worship the created gods which include sun gods, nature gods, money, self.
Truth 3: All people are guilty before God – There is not one person who is entirely innocent. Even the best of the best of us have failed.
Truth 4: All people are condemned for rejecting God – God hates and condemns all sin. No one can stand in His presence.
Truth 5: God has made a way of salvation for the lost – God sent His Son to redeem us. He is the only who is worthy to go before God and speak on our behalf.
Truth 6: People cannot come to God apart from faith in Christ – There is no other way under heaven by which man can be saved. We cannot earn our own way.
Truth 7: Christ commands the church to make the gospel known to all peoples – Since we know Christ, we are commissioned to share knowledge of Him.
God sends his servants è His servants preach è People hear è Hearers believe è Believers call è Everyone who calls is saved
We are God’s Plan. We are THE Plan. We are Plan A. There is no Plan B.
If you are waiting for God’s purpose to be revealed to you, wait no further. This is it. This is all of it. You have been equipped to do good works.
I love when grand arguments are made!
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!”
Romans 10:13-15 (ESV)
