To You

Acts 13:26 KJV
Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

Paul preached this, first of his recorded sermons, in a synagogue filled with mostly Jews. But there were others there as well. Throughout the history of Israel, there were always certain proselytes, Gentiles who had converted to the faith of the Jews. So there were those Gentiles in the synagogue when Paul preached this message. And he says that the gospel of salvation that he preached was not merely for those of the "stock of Abraham" but for "whosoever among you feareth God."

The word of salvation is sent out to any and all among us
Who fear God,
Who see our sin for the wretched thing that it is and
Who recognize that our sin places us in the way of the wrath of Almighty God


God sends to each of us in that condition the word of this salvation. It is available and offered to us all.

May God grant that there will be many today who hear the word of this salvation and who freely receive it!
