PROCLAMATION IS DYNAMIC, NOT PERFUNCTORY

PROCLAMATION IS DYNAMIC, NOT PERFUNCTORY
God does not offer empty promises or empty threats.
The provision and the performing and the proposal of salvation is from God, but the procuring is the human responsibility; they must decide to trust and obey.
If God tells someone to believe and be saved, then they can believe and be saved.
If God warns someone that their turning from Him can result in eternal separation, then they are capable of turning away from God forever, thoughGod has given them a way of escape.

God does not tease or taunt or tempt. God tells us truth and enables us to make a free will choice to either accept or reject.
This is why Christians must lift up Jesus before the lost; so that they have the opportunity to get saved.
This is why Christians must take the gospel to the unsaved; so that they can be delivered from the penalty, the power and the pollution of sin.

Proclamation is a dynamic event between God, believer and sinner.
Proclamation is not a perfunctory, routine, superficial, inconsequential duty simply between God and believer, as though it is a test of loyalty.
Proclamation (personal witnessing, public preaching) has the possibility of WINNING the lost, CONVINCING the unsaved, CONVERTING the sinner.
Proclamation is not a test for the testifier, it is an invitation and a warning to the hearer.

No one is saved by grace alone.
No one is saved by faith alone.
We are saved by grace through faith (Ep. 2:8-10).

The hearing of the word of God leads to faith and faith can lead to salvation.
If we do not take the word to the world, then the world will not believe.

Romans 10:13-21
(13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
(14) 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?
(15) And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
(16) But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
(17) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
(18) But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
(19) But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
(20) But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
(21) But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
