Day 3

Through the natural world God has revealed himself as Creator and the transcendent being. Although this knowledge shown to humankind will be held into account by God it is not sufficient to gain the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. The book of Romans 10:14 tells us, "How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?" The revelation of God in the saving work of Jesus Christ must be proclaimed in word and deed. This is the mandate of the great commission. The carries the message of hope and good news that must be shared with love and grace and wisdom. All Christians are on display to a world that has rejected the Savior because they love sin too much. We are the means by which God redirects lost souls to himself. May we live and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
