Romans 10: 14-21

“I was found by those who did not seek Me, I became manifest to those who did not ask for Me.” But as for Israel He says, “All the day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.””

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10 : 21

“How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!” However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.” But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says, “I will make you jealous by that which is not a nation, By a nation without understanding will I anger you.” And Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who did not seek Me, I became manifest to those who did not ask for Me.” But as for Israel He says, “All the day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.””

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10 : 14-21

From a saved person's point of view, they believe they have to hear (not restricted to audibly) and then they believe. Yet how do we expect people to believe in Him and have a relationship with Christ if they don’t even know who He is? Many people have heard of Jesus being someone of religious importance, but that doesn’t mean they know who they are. The majority of us know who Muhammad is or Confucius. But unless you grew up exposed to that faith or did a study on it, or had someone teach you, then I bet you can’t name more than 10 things about them. So do you know who Confucius really is? Do you know he worshipped a force called Tao? Do you even know what Tao is? If not then how can you expect someone to really know Jesus?
