HOW TO KNOW GOD PERSONALLY - PART 7 Some people wonder why we need missionaries, if people can know about God through nature (the creation).

Knowing that God exists is not enough. People must learn that God is loving. They must understand what He did to demonstrate His love for us (Gods redemptive work for us). Romans 5vs8: But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. They must be shown how to accept Gods forgiveness of their sins. Romans 10vs14-15: 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? 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! .....TO BE CONTINUED.
