15 Then Jesus said to them, Go into every part of the world. Tell the good news to everyone.
12 The Jews and other people are alike. The same Lord is Lord of all people. He richly blesses all who call out to him.
13 The holy writings say, Everyone who calls out to the Lord will be saved.
14 But how can people call someone if they have not believed in him? And how can they believe in him if they have not heard about him? And how can they hear about him if no one tells them about him?
15 And how can people tell about him if no one sends them? The holy writings say, How good are the feet of those who bring the good news of peace and happiness.
16 But they have not all obeyed the good news. It is as Isaiah said it would be, Lord, who has believed what we have told them?
17 So people believe because they hear. They hear because people tell them about Christ.
14 They make what Isaiah the prophet said long ago, come true. Isaiah said: "You will listen and listen, but you will not understand. You will look and look, but you will not see.
15 The hearts of these people have no feeling. They do not hear well with their ears. And they have shut their eyes. They do not want to see with their eyes. They do not want to hear with their ears. They do not want to understand in their hearts. They do not want to turn to me. If they did turn, I would heal them."
16 God is blessing your eyes because they see. God is blessing your ears because they hear.
25 I tell you the truth. The time is coming. Yes, the time is here when the dead people will hear the voice of the Son of God. Those who hear his voice will live.
2 Here is one thing I want to ask you. You received the Holy Spirit. Was that because you obeyed the law given to the Jews by Moses ? No, it was because you heard Gods word and believed it.
13 You also believed in Christ when you heard the true message. That message is the good news by which you were saved. You received the Holy Spirit whom God had promised. You were marked as belonging to him.
14 The Holy Spirit is the first part of what we are to receive from God. This proves that we will get all God has promised. Some day we shall have them all. Praise God! He is very great and wonderful. 15,
28 But Jesus said, Happy are those who hear Gods word and obey it!
44 No one can come to me if my Father does not draw him. He sent me. I myself will raise up the one who comes to me. I will bring him back to life on the last day.
45 The prophets wrote, "God will teach all people." So then, every person who listens to his words and learns what he says, he will come to me.
46 But no person has seen my Father. The only one who has seen him is the one who comes from God. He has seen my Father.
47 I tell you the truth. The person who believes in me will live for ever.
10 Jesus called the people to him. He said to them, Listen to me and understand what I say.
23 Everyone who has ears to hear, listen!
24 I tell you the truth. The person who hears what I say and believes in him that sent me will live for ever. He will not be judged. He has already passed from death to life.
3 Talk to God about us too. Ask him to open a way for us to tell people his message. We want to tell Gods plan about Christ. That is why I am in prison because of that plan.
