Sent

Romans 10:15 "And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"

In this list of rhetorical questions, Paul is making a very important point. We have been sent. Each and every believer has been sent to preach the Gospel to every creature.

If people are not being saved, it is because they are not calling on the Lord. If they are not calling on the Lord, it is because they have not believed. If they are not believing, it is because they have not heard of Him. If they have not heard of him, it is because there has not been a preacher. If there has not been a preacher then, is it because we have not been sent?

This is obviously not the case. We have been sent. The disconnect in this beautiful process is our willingness to obey God's commands. If we will obey, a chain reaction will follow. It become obvious as the chapter continues, that not everyone who hears will be saved. However, that does not release us from our responsibility.

Do I realize, today, that I have been sent to preach the Gospel to the lost? Am I obeying?
