Lesson for November 3, 2018

MINISTERIAL SUPPORT IN THE CHRISTIAN
DISPENSATION

Scripture reading: Romans 10:1-17.

Memory verse: Romans 10:15.

  1. What commission did Jesus give to His apostles after His resurrection? Matt. 28:19, 20.

Note. — Hearing and believing are two primary elements in salvation. Upon these the “calling on Him” is based, which is the third element. But these are still contingent on the sending and preaching. One who is filled with divine love for souls may devote some time in his vicinity to bring them, to Christ, but when the stakes are strengthened and the cords are lengthened then sending more messengers becomes necessary to spread the gospel.
