1. Gods Love and Justice Flamborough Baptist Church July 28, 2013

2. Gods Love and Justice How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard. And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news! Romans 10:14-15

3. Gods Love and Justice Is God loving, fair and just?

4. Gods Love and Justice In creating such a being to freely love and be loved, God risked the possibility of such a being rejecting His love in favour of independence or even self-love.

5. Gods Love and Justice How tender is that little flame of light within each one of us?

6. Gods Love and Justice Understand this – God does not condemn a person who has not heard of Christ for rejecting Him, but rather for rejecting the light they do have.

7. Gods Love and Justice Cornelius, the Roman officer, responded to the light he had with prayer and good deeds

8. Gods Love and Justice And as with Peter, His method for sending this truth is a human messenger – Romans 10:14-15 – the preacher, the beautiful feet of those that go.

9. Gods Love and Justice Does God have an alternative plan should you decide not to go?

10. Gods Love and Justice Rather we are commissioned as His representatives to find the lost, declare amnesty to the captive, and release the prisoner

11. Gods Love and Justice The lost condition of human beings breaks the Fathers heart. What does it do to ours?

12. Gods Love and Justice Could it be we think there must be some other way?

13. Gods Love and Justice How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard. And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news! Romans 10:14-15
