The only way you find life is by grasping Jesus. Why it’s in confessing “…with your heart that Jesus is Lord and [believing] in your heart that God raised him from the dead” Paul clarifies – “[that you grasp life, that] you will be saved…” (Romans 10:9).

And so let’s deliver the signature
truth that delivers life. For how can persons “…believe in [truth, in Jesus, if] they have not heard. And how can they truly hear without someone preaching to them [sharing with them; or in keeping with our series theme: evangelizing them]…” (Romans 10:14).

For “…God was reconciling the world to himself in [Jesus]…and…has [now] committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore God’s ambassadors… [imploring everyone]… be reconciled to God [through Jesus]…” (2
Corinthians 5:18; 20).

There’s only one Gospel: God is in Jesus -- reconciling all things, through His death and resurrection -- making all things new.

“The Christian faith stands in contrast to [all other world religions]. It is not…
a call to be religious, nor… an announcement of ethical principles, but…rather the [very] self-disclosure of God, in Christ -- inviting us to [reconcile with Him, to commune] with Him” -- through Jesus.

“If anyone [wants to]
come after me he must deny [self]… for whoever [seeks] to save [self] will lose it, but whoever loses [self] for me will find it.” And so “what good [is it]…” Jesus concludes, “… [if you gain]… the whole world -- yet forfeit [your true self, your] soul?” Matthew 16:24-26.

But Paul is right: how will persons know such truth, if “…they have not heard. And how can they…hear without someone preaching to them [sharing with them; evangelizing them]…”
(Romans 10:14).
