Romans 10:9-15 NKJV
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” 14 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? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
Salvation is simple. It's easy. So easy even a caveman could do it.
But if it's really that easy why isn't everyone saved?
Because they haven’t heard?
Because they “want to get right with God first?”
Because they are waiting for someone to share with them?
We (as Believers) have a simple task. Romans says that in order for someone to hear & be saved
Someone must preach (share) the Word. That someone is me, you us! That’s us Church!
Paul says “how could they believe in something they've never heard of?"
Paul puts the blame on us. We can’t wait for them to come to us, we have to go get them.
In Matthew Jesus says to drop everything and follow Him and He will make us fishers of men.

Matthew 28:16-20 NKJV
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
This passage shares exactly what we are to do.
We are to GO, MAKE DISCIPLES, BAPTIZE THEM, and TEACH HIM.
We will go into more detail on these commandments in the Great Commission in the weeks to come. Until then, I ask that you pray for the Inflamed Ministers. We need encouragement and need to be spiritually refueled just as much as you guys do. Thank you for reading.
