The height of your accomplishments will equal the depth of your convictions.
William F. Scolavino
Romans 15:20-23 (HCSB)
So my aim is to evangelize where Christ has not been named, in order that I will not be building on someone else’s foundation, but, as it is written: Those who had no report of Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand. That is why I have been prevented many times from coming to you. But now I no longer have any work to do in these provinces, and I have strongly desired for many years to come to you
Listen to the deep conviction and commitment of Paul. Paul was in the building business. Paul looked at the great sacrifice that Christ had made for him, the great foundation that was given him to work on and he got down to business. He isn’t wasting his time, if you will notice, on those that had already received the good news.
What do you make of this? Listen to his yearning to see those that he had led to Christ and had not been able to see for many years. He wasn’t wasting a lot of time singing hymns with the redeemed and having fellowship suppers and going to conventions. No Paul knew there was no time to waste, and so he was sharing with those that had not yet heard.
We are meeting regularly in our churches, encouraging each other, which we should be doing. But, we also live in a world that is lost more today than ever before. We should not forget the time, but we too should be looking for those who have yet to hear, and understand that should be our aim, we should all have a lost person in our sights…God’s Blessings.
