Read Romans 10:13–15 (Part 2 of 2)

These verses summarize the six-steps of sharing the gospel among unreached peoples: being sent, going, telling, hearing, believing, and calling. 

1. What would you do to make sure they heard (understood) the gospel?
   ​
2. How would you define biblical belief? 
   ​
3. How should they call upon Jesus for salvation? Are unreached people saved by praying a prayer, coming forward at an altar call, responding to an invitation, raising a hand, or signing a booklet? Explain. How did belief occur in Luke 24:30-31; Acts 10:44-45, 16:13-15?

Discuss

All excerpts are from C.T. Studd: No Retreat by Janet Benge. 

1. “He determined to live for eternity, no matter what it cost him in terms of family ties or public opinion” (locations 387–88).
   
   Is such a decision worth risking family relationships, and sacrificing your reputation among others? Explain.
   
   
2. "C.T. was stunned to think that his decision to become a missionary was already affecting other people" (location 401)
   
   Who inspires you to help bring the gospel to unreached peoples?
   ​
3. "In peace, true soldiers are captive lions, fretting in their cages. War gives them their liberty and sends them, like boys bounding out of school, to obtain their heart's desire or perish in the attempt. The battle is the soldier's vital breath! Peace turns him into a stooping asthmatic. War makes him a whole man again and gives him the heart, strength, and vigor of a hero. Every true Christian is a soldier of Christ, a hero 'par excellence'! Braver than the bravest—scorning the soft seductions of peace and her oft-repeated warnings against hardship, disease, danger, and death, whom he counts among his bosom friends" (locations 1822–28). 
   
   Is every Christian a soldier, who is only made whole by involvement in the great spiritual battle called global missions to unreached peoples? Explain.
