Obeyed?

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. (Romans 10:16-18 KJV)

During the Roman Empire, there was a wide avenue of communication in using a common language. With the current communication technologies, road side vendors in China use cell phones to call around the world. Hand generators power hundred dollar computers connecting to the Internet from remote African villages.

Even in places where the Bible is prohibited and missionaries are denied, Jesus’ name has been brought in by traveling residents. Truly, “their sound went into all the earth.”

You, dear reader (for whom I pray) are a testament to the above. Simply by visiting this site you have become one of those who carry His name with you. By reading this blog you have brought his name to those who know you, even if your decision has been to reject Him.

Everyone who hears the gospel makes a decision whether to follow Christ, or deny Him. In this there is no middle ground:

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. (1 John 4:2-3 KJV)

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 10:32-33 KJV)

Your decision today would be …?
