Reaching The World With God’s Word – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional February 27th

(The Mission Of Evangelism Through Languages)

TO THE BIBLE: Psalm 68:11
“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.”

LET’S TALK
With so many English Bible versions available today, it’s easy for many to erroneously believe that the Bible was originally given in the English language.

However, it was the translators who performed this crucial work, and the Holy Spirit continues to guide them even today to make the Bible and other Christian materials accessible to many more in their native languages.

Think about the fact that the sacred writings of the Scriptures were written in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic.

But it took dedicated individuals who loved the Lord and desired to spread His message to the entire world to make it available in various languages as we have today.

This mission continues through the work of modern-day missionaries and evangelists who travel to distant lands, much like those early translators.

They go into remote and often challenging environments to find those who have not yet heard the Gospel, and they bring it to them in the language they best understand.

The Lord Jesus instructed us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). He sent us to find the lost, to seek them out in the byways and highways.

This directive is clear in the Scriptures, and it drives the mission of Christians today. We carry on the vision that He gave us.

This vision is about actively reaching out to those who need to hear the message of salvation, and this involves going beyond our comfort zones, reaching out to speakers of all languages, thus ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel.

The work is far from over, and the vision of reaching every person with the Gospel remains as vital as ever.

That’s why we’re grateful to the Lord to have those who are working with us in various nations to make it possible for this devotional to become accessible in all known languages and dialects of the world, and as a result, reaching the ends of the earth before the Lord’s return.
