Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
How sad when people put aside the Word of God and judge themselves unworthy of everlasting life. It is sad because the blessings of salvation are designed for all people everywhere. “God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” The truth some reject, however, is received by others with open arms; and that’s why the gospel must be carried to the ends of the earth. May God help us to be faithful in praying for and supporting our missionaries for they are fulfilling the ultimate purpose of God.
