Everything has a foundation. A building without a foundation does not exist. Do you know any?"For Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13(NLT).
To be rescued from enslavement by the sole enemy of man, Satan, the Devil, calls for putting trust in the only Person Who could do so. He is Jesus Christ. Everyone born of a woman has lost his relationship with his Maker and by so doing forfeited all benefits associated with having smooth dealing with his Creator. This came into being by the wrongdoing of a man, Adam. Through him, everyone lost their bearing with his Maker.

As transgressions spread through a man to all human beings, so does being restored to God by another man, Jesus Christ. So, anyone who calls on Him will be rescued and restored to the former position he is entitled to in his Maker.

Hearing about the only One Who can rescue mankind comes first. Help cannot come from someone you are not connected with. Help comes from someone you have to do with in one form or another. Having some belief in a Helper will catalyze receiving the needed help. The hearing comes before believing in Jesus Christ. To believe comes first before calling on Him can take place.

"But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?" Romans 10:14.(NLT).

Hearing cannot take place except there is a link between the two ends: the Helper and the one who needs help. Someone needs to introduce the two to each other. Somebody must tell a man who needs assistance where and who can render the needed help.

"And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” Romans 10:15.(NLT).

Beloved, do you know that you have been sent to those who need to be rescued by the Lord Jesus Christ? All that you need to do is to rise and do the work of linking them to their Helper. Do the work of bringing those who do not know the Lord to Him. Let them hear about Him so that they can begin to call upon Him now and forever. By so doing, you will be counted among those who have beautiful feet and are entitled to equate rewards in this life and the life to come. Therefore, be up and doing so that you will not be guilty of the blood of those who are to be introduced to Jesus Christ by you. May the Lord help you to go out for Him in Jesus'' mighty name. Stay blessed and prepared for the imminent coming of the Lord.
