Monday's Motivational Musing
Read: Romans 10
What should our daily approach to people be? How should we learn to see others we may encounter?
I do believe, that as a follower of Christ, a redeemed child of God, we should be consistently, constantly desiring and praying for other's salvation's. Now, let me be clear, there is nothing we can do to save ourselves and therefore, there is nothing we can do to save another. We cannot forgive their sin before God.
Yet, we can pray for them, we can tell them the good news. Romans 10 may fall under this doctrine on Israel title to some, but the simple truth is Paul's desire for his own people, the Jews, to be saved. He knows the barriers they have to the gospel message. He knows how they have been misleading themselves in their theology of the law in trusting in their own righteousness by the law and not the righteousness of Christ.
Here's the truth my friends, we can all identify with how lost people reason, think, and see salvation. We have been there before. So then, our hearts should break for their salvation.
We should pray for them. Pray they hear the gospel and receive it. Pray that choose Jesus, for as verses 9 and 10 deliver the core gospel message, "if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart resulting in righteousness and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation."
Know the heart of God. Everyone who believes on him will not be put to shame and everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. God turns no one away who comes to him. All must come to God on His terms. He wants all to be saved.
But how will they know if they do not hear. As we already saw in chapter 1, you can know there is a God from creation. You cannot know how to be saved from creation. This good news is to be told or written. We must go and tell. We must go and write. We must desire for the lost to be found, as we once were. God has a heart for all people to know him personally. He chooses to use the instruments that have been personally changed and affected by Him as the agents to tell others. Let us pray, go, and tell the wonderful good news of Jesus Christ. If you have tasted the salvation of Christ, then you have a testimony to share.
