Romans 10, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How will they call on him whom they have not believed, and how shall they believe in him whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone besides Jesus preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent as it is written. How beautiful, how beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news.
