Everyone

Romans 10 says, 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?

This is an invitation to all who read to hear the voice of the Lord calling their name, and to respond by calling back to the Lord.

Just what does it mean to “call on the name of the Lord?” 

The second half of the passage explains.

We cannot call on him if we do not believe in him.  In other words, in order to call upon his name, we must believe that he is who he said he is – Jesus the Son of the Living God – and then we can call out to him and be saved.

There are many we meet daily who have never called on the name of the Lord, and it’s simply because they’ve never heard of his great love for them.

It’s up to us to be the hands and feet and voice of Jesus to those we meet.

What are we then saved “from” when we call upon him?

We are saved from death…and brought into life.

What better gift is there?

Call upon the name of the Lord and be saved.  And tell those who haven’t heard about Jesus, so they too can call upon him and experience life.
