In Mark 16:15 Jesus said: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature…” (The Amplified Bible adds “of the whole human race”, and the Message says, “to one and all”). “… He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” To believe something is to act upon it; so by acting upon the word of God, upon the gospel, the good news, and by following its directives, the power of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ and His work is released into your life. Romans 1:16-17 says, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation … For in it the righteousness of God is revealed …” While James 1:21 says, “receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.” Remember the written Logos points us to the living Logos and the Holy Spirit causes it to become the Rhema Logos, the living word, and the life of salvation to us. The commission of Jesus to His followers is to carry this message to the whole world, and the urge in the Apostle in 2 Corinthians 10:16 was “to preach the gospel in the regions beyond”. This complies with the words of Jesus in Acts 1:8, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you: and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem (home base) and in all Judea (surrounding territories) and Samaria, (ethnic groups beyond) and to the end of the earth, (other nations).” (Comments added) Have you received this life-changing message of the word of God? If so what are you doing to proclaim it “to the ends of the earth?
Tell The World of God’s Love
-By Rose Hill
Jesus wants all the world to know,
That He really does love them so.
It doesn’t matter if they are white or black,
Or if they live “across the track”.
Rich or poor He loves the same,
The unknown just as those with fame.
So give His message far and near,
And don’t be afraid or even fear.
The devil will surely give a fight,
But spread the news with all your might.
