Explanation and Meditation on Romans 10:13-15
Reversal Thinking. Seeing the end we want, what is the process to create the end we want, which is rescued and happy souls in the help and comfort of Jesus as their Savior and King. We want people to become Christians. But, through a practical sense that we are involved in, how?
People calling on Jesus is the most obvious way to tell if someone becomes and is a Christian. Not just saying their name like I would call someone off at a distance, but begging Jesus for spiritual and complete help of their complete helplessness and evilness. This happens by God works on the person (Joel 2:32), but is shown by them externally responding from God’s work by calling for help and trusting in Jesus.
NonChristians practically cannot call on Jesus for help and trust if they dont believe in Him as such a being. Or even believe that they are in need of a being like that, that He needs to save them because of their evil state, give them life, and direction. Believing their need for divine help and Jesus divinity and capability to help leads them to call on Him for help and trust. It is an informative message that is usually taken as an opinionated message. But by all means let us help this gospel change the minds of men from opinion of Jesus to the truth about Jesus.
NonChristians cannot believe in something they have never heard of from anyone. Growing up as a child, your parents had to tell you about Santa Claus before you would ever dream to believe in such a fantasy is the same with the true reality of the eternal God who made us and Jesus who He sent to save mankind. NonChristians must be told and compelled by Christians about the realities of their vileness and Jesus’ preciousness before the thought to believe could ever be considered. This should push all Christians to hunger to tell their unbelieved friends of the gospel. The gospel in which presents what they could believe to become a Christian. Not only presenting it once, but speaking countless times so that they may be almost forced to consider it for themselves without passing it off sheepishly like an old piece of toilet paper, but as a lost gem that was recently, joyfully, and surprisingly found.
For a NonChristian to hear from someone what they can believe about this, someone must be logically sent tell to them. Although Moses was spoken to by a bush caught on fire and not people, but indirectly by God. He is calling now the means of people for this indirect assistance to create Jesus-worship out of people who would never want to in a million years. God is directly responsible, but asks our humble and happy obedience to aid in changing people forever. This is one of the most exciting, opportune, and serious times to be a messenger of the most High God. With words speak of His excellency and of man’s frailness. Our broken and disobedient purpose and His justice and wrath towards man’s evil. Our incapability to make us right and forgiven for our sin, but God’s rich grace and mercy to punish Jesus for their sake to make men look as if the righteousness of God. To bring undeserved men from the dominion of satan to God’s kingdom and family. What a gift that no Christmas or Friend could give! God grants us this gift to speak and convince other men on this earth for such a temporary time. To be the person who is sent to tell others about this majestic message is to be beautiful themselves. This message is the most freeing and powerful message ever. Let us approach our conversations with this in mind. Praying and Laboring to put this message into our friends so that God might make them Christians which should be our end desire. If we dont share this message with others, then we really dont want our friends to be Christians, for Paul has given us this quite easily-rooted explanation. So then test your hearts, your actions and find the deep-hearted sin that has caused this evil thought to penetrate your heart and then be freed from the gospel that saves you from this sin and the gospel that is very able to save your friends.
