Subject: eph 1:4-5 what is predestination, chosen |
Bible Note: Hi, Apollos... We know that faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Cornelius had yet to hear the word (Acts 10:22). Therefore, Cornelius salvation took place upon hearing the gospel message. For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." But how are they to 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? And 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!" (Romans 10:13-15 ESV) I'm a little surprised that evangelicals would wonder about this. After all, the Acts 10 is all about the communication of the gospel to the gentiles, in the progression that Christ spoke of in Acts 1:8. In Him, Doc |
