Deuteronomy 30:14 KJV
But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
This passage, which is used by Apostle Paul in Romans 10 to address the opportunity every human being has of being saved, is a tremendous encouragement to any who will give it some thought.
A person does not have to hear a special revelation from heaven to know what we may do to be saved. Neither does he need to travel the world around in an effort to find the truth about salvation. God told the Jews, and Paul makes it clear that the same is very true of us as well, that the Word of God is "nigh unto thee."
God has placed someone close enough to each of us that, if we desire to know God's Word concerning salvation, it is not far to find. In most cases, at least in lands such as the Jews and as our today, we have had enough exposure to the Word of God through some means, that it is already implanted in our hearts and mouths and is there for us when we come to that place were we surrender to the Lord of our lives.
In those places where the Word of God has not yet reached, Paul addressed that too in Romans 10, urging Christians to take that glorious gospel and preach it in other lands.
I am thankful that the Word of God is nigh unto me. I am so grateful that I do not have to wish or pine away for the truth. God has placed it before me.
May I be faithful to it.
