Outstretched Arms & Beautiful Feet
Romans 1:16
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Romans 8:1
1There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Romans 9:2
2that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
Romans 10:14-21
14How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
18But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for
“Their voice has gone out to all the earth,
and their words to the ends of the world.”
19But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says,
“I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation;
with a foolish nation I will make you angry.”
20Then Isaiah is so bold as to say,
“I have been found by those who did not seek me;
I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.”
21But of Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
God always remains faithful
God is sovereign!
God all day long has had His arms outstretched for you!
The urgency of the mission requires something of us all
Do you hear? Do you understand? Will you surrender and fall into the outstretched arms of your Heavenly Father?
