Sunday (D.V.) I will remind our people that time in Romans should motivate us to be missional: to always be living to further the cause of Christ. We are all about spreading the Gospel for God’s glory and our joy.
Missions was a major part of why Paul wrote Romans . He wanted to establish a base in Rome, so that he could eventually make his way to Spain. Once he reached Spain, Paul would have planted churches like a belt across the breadth of the Roman Empire. With this accomplished, the Gospel would spread like a fire north into Europe and south to North Africa. Whether or not Paul made it to Spain, we know this is what happened.
Here, John MacArthur illustrates how pastors and theologians should remember the mission. MacArthur is best known as a preacher and student of the Bible, but this is an amazing account of how he shared his faith over a 50 year time period.
