SCRIPTURE

"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 whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!" — Romans 10:13-15 (ASV)

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!

See, then, what an honor God has placed upon the testimony of his Word; and do not be slow, my dear friends, to spread his glorious gospel abroad. The apostle does not merely mean preaching from the pulpit, but preaching in any way, making known the gospel by any means. It is in that way that hearing comes; from hearing comes faith; and from faith comes salvation. Who then, would not proclaim the glad news that God uses for the salvation of immortal souls?
