I have been privileged to counsel
personally thousands of people – men, women, young people, children – about
their spiritual needs. The experiences that remain uppermost in my heart and
mind have a direct bearing on this verse.
Helping people to see
their truly desperate plight outside of saving faith in Jesus Christ is
sometimes difficult, but what a reward awaits those who become
aware of their condition. No matter what their background – criminal,
alcoholic, self-righteous, or whatever – uninformed people need to recognize
the fact that they are lost without Christ.
Accomplishing that purpose is a
long step toward their genuine conversion, for I have heard many thousands come
to the place where they do indeed “call upon the name of the Lord” and they are
saved.
If you can help your loved one,
neighbor or friend – or even a total stranger – to become sufficiently alarmed
about their eternal welfare that they call on the name of the Lord, you have
come a long way toward bringing that person to Christ in a saving relationship.
Some people are bothered by the
simplicity of the gospel. I am grateful that it is so simple that anyone can
understand, believe and receive. The promise of this verse is emphatic: “Anyone
who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.” Let’s believe and share it.
Bible Reading: Romans
10:14-17
Today’s Action Point: I will
not let the utter simplicity of the gospel keep me from sharing the Good News
that we need only call upon the name of the Lord to be saved.
Thank you Miss Betty from Nassau, Bahamas.
