Roma 10

 2020, 11 Jan


But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:8‭-‬9 NIV


Have you ever felt that far from God? I have.I once felt very doubtful and doubtful. even though the Word is close to my mouth. when I received the true Word the Word was in my heart. What remains is my response, whether I will use the power of the Word to guide my steps or not.


and last but not least what to do is 'declare'


As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

Romans 10:11‭-‬15 NIV


the duty as a disciples is to multiply the disciples. how can I preach the truth and goodness of God that has happened in my life.


how can people out there know God if nobody tells them?


I remember how God made me able to find the right steps to find Him. I don't think it's the first time God directed my life path to the truth.


I'm grateful I know Yuda, my brother, who wants to invite me to the right community and I can study the Bible there.


I cannot just take advantage, because I have been taught the truth of the Word.


After that, I also have to pay it forward to other people who are also looking for God. not as a necessity but as a form of gratitude I will love from God through the people who are on my side too.


indeed I can't be the one who directly becomes a priest. but I want to start with something as small as the Bible verses every morning, not refusing when asked to share. increasingly known I also have to maintain the glory of God through my actions, work, environment and family.


God thank you very much, because You gave the gift of salvation not only to the Israel, but to all nations including me.


Thank you Lord 🙏❤️
