How do the books of Jonah and Nahum give you a better understanding of the importance of God’s call to proclaim the Gospel to all nations?

These books remind me that we are to share the Gospel with even the “worst” of sinners and to not worry about how it will be perceived because the Holy Spirit will guide our words.

Jehovah’s calls are all included in His plan to bring every life closer to Him. His goal has always been to share his knowledge and wisdom and to also allow man to learn and understand His character. It is important to really know the God you must learn to worship, for if we do not get to know Him, how can we earnestly serve Him.

The Books of Jonah and Nahum gave me a better understanding of the importance of God’s call to proclaim the Gospel of Salvation to all nations, without which they are lost eternally. The Bible says, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. ALL have sinned, white, blue, black, green etc.
Additionally that, the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.
That God loves the world and sent his begotten son Jesus Christ, that whosoever believes in Christ should not die but have everlasting life because there is no salvation in any name except the name of Jesus Christ.
As a child of God, saved by grace through faith in Christ, I must take the message of salvation to the lost, so that they will escape from eternal damnation or hellfire. I rely on the Holy Spirit every day to live a life of righteousness and one that pleases God as well as share the Good News of salvation with those living in sin.

These books provide excellent Old Testament examples of God’s grace and mercy to show how deeply God wants to redeem us all. Sometimes people will refute the Gospel by saying the Old Testament is all “fire and brimstone”, but there are always multiple opportunities where God warns people and desires to preserve them before his judgement comes.

These books show the extent of God’s divine love and mercy for the lost. As Christians, we are to love as Christ loved. The ultimate expression of that love is to share the gospel with those who are lost. God desires that all peoples are told of the hope that can be found in Jesus. No human can decide who can hear the gospel and who is not worthy.
