Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (Acts 13:46 NKJV)
Just like the early Christians, we are to speak God’s truth wherever we are. Jesus preached the Gospel starting in Jerusalem, to the surrounding villages, and as the bible puts it, to the whole world. That is where are to start propagating our faith and growing the Church, in the place where we live, to the people we are with. It is now that we have to work to edify the body of Christ–the fellowship of all the saints from different nations of the world. We are co-workers and assistants of Christ in His saving works. When Christ is doing His works, we should be there. Christ saves 24/7. He is everywhere to save people. Wherever we are, Christ is there. Therefore, we should assist Him in preaching the Gospel. We should be good stewards of the Gospel.
We have experienced and will continue to experience rejection of the Gospel, but we should not stop or be hindered by them. Instead, we are continue and without fear, boldly speak of the love of Christ who wants all people to be saved through faith in Gospel. We, in the Most Holy Church of God in Christ Jesus, are devoted to advance the Kingdom of God until His second coming on earth. The Gospel is the power of God for salvation, for those who will believe. It was first taught to the Jews but was not accepted. Now, it is being taught to the Gentile nations, giving all of us equal opportunities to be saved and receive and receive all the promises of spiritual blessing through Christ our Lord. It will come to pass that the Gentile nations, along with the Jews, will worship only the Lord Jesus Christ in the Universal Church, the Most Holy Church.
