2 | If we are saved by grace alone through f | Eph 2:8 | MrsBinGA | 55427 | ||
The gospel doesn't save us. It is the gospel's message. As Romans 10:13-15 says: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!" I don't mean this as criticism, but I hope you're truly seeking truth and not merely playing word games with me. Blessings to you in Christ Jesus! |

No I'm not playing games, I just want to know how this works. "And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!" You posted here that a preachers are to be sent. Sent from where? Is the bible saying that there is a certain place the a preacher must come from? |

It seems from the context of Romans 10 that the specific preaching referred to here is evangelistic preaching, where the preacher is sent from the household of God (the church) to unreached parts of the earth to extend God's kingdom through proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. We see in Titus that preachers/teachers/elders to congregations are selected from among believers but not really "sent" in the same sense. They do not "go out," but rather equip the saints through teaching God's word, the Bible. Evangelists by nature must come from among God's people, and God's people should be involved in sending them to glorify Him where His name is not known. --Joe! |
