31. A Heart for the Lost (Romans 15:14-33)
Manage episode 382057862 series 3450434
Paul’s burning, driving ambition in life was to faithfully discharge the trust God had given him in preaching the gospel. Obedience to the Great Commission was what motivated everything he did. In 1 Cor 9:16-17, Paul tells us that he was compelled to preach. “Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!”
David Brainerd, Missionary to the North American Indians in the mid-1,700s, put it this way:
“I care not where I go or how I live or what I endure so that I may save souls. When I sleep, I dream of them; when I awake, they are first in my thoughts.”
That’s the kind of heart that Paul had! A passion first for Christ, and a matching passion for those Christ loved.
Enjoy the message.
