Romans 10:14-15
King James Version (KJV)
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, 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!
Romans 10:14-15
Living Bible (TLB)
14 But how shall they ask him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? 15 And how will anyone go and tell them unless someone sends him? That is what the Scriptures are talking about when they say, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace with God and bring glad tidings of good things.” In other words, how welcome are those who come preaching God’s Good News!

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
14 We call thru faith by prayer. Thru seeing the light of the truth we are able to see Jesus as the Lord He has been the whole time. We are not able to believe in Him without Him reveling Himself to us. There are some who will reject the truth and choose to remain to run their own lives instead of giving them to the Lord. There was a group in the bible who believed God was Lord but feared Him and went to serve false gods because they could relate to them easier. We can not relate to God but thru Christ we can come to God. We are not to try to understand God but just accept Him as the Righteous One and make Him Lord of our life, few will make this commitment. The gospel is not received unless it is heard, we as believers should work to share the gospel with the world, not all are called to be evangelists but all are called to share their praises of God with others, let this bible the words you share with the lost. Not all are called to preach or teach the word but all can take a craps on the word to impart the knowledge they need to when the Lord allows them the opportunity to share. It is the preacher’s job at church to motivate believers to do the work of the church outside the church walls.
15 God has called many to preach. To preach does not mean one is to evangelize. To preach can be to preach the gospel to where men want to come to the Lord. The word is what preachers should be preaching. It is a calling and a gift to preach. All believers have something the Lord wants them to do. Not all preachers are called to be pastors but all pastors should be able to preach.
