Paul gives an incredible picture of what it looks like for sinners to hear the gospel, believe, and call on the name of Jesus for salvation in Romans 10:14-15. But what about those who hear the gospel but do not believe? Romans 10:16-21 goes on to emphasize the hearing of the truth, though not all will believe. The church has a responsibility as messengers of the gospel that will be taken seriously only when we grieve over those who are still dead in their sin as we once were.
