“… Your Blood

Has Ransomed People For God

From Every Tribe And Language And People And Nation.”
Scripture

Revelation 5

And they sang a new song with these words:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
    and break its seals and open it.


For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God
    from every tribe and language and people and nation.


10 And you have caused them to become
    a Kingdom of priests for our God.
    And they will reign on the earth.”

Observation

Jesus Christ has paid the ransom for us and not only for us but also for people from every tribe, language, people, and nation. I think that the word “every” that we read in verse 9 is huge!

Every day I read and pray for an unreached people group I pray with the confidence of knowing that one-day they will have the opportunity to hear the Gospel and some of them will trust Christ. There is not a group of people that is going to be left out. Every nation and people group will have the opportunity to hear about Jesus.

The book of Revelation is all about Victory. The victory has already been won. We are victors. As followers of Jesus Christ we are on the winning team.  

Application

I will share the Gospel with confidence knowing that God is working in the lives of those who listen.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Your Word says, “For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Romans 10:12-15

Help me to live out these verses.
