Why is it important to "make this known in all the earth"? Verse Focus “Sing to the LORD, for He has done glorious things; let this be known throughout the earth.” (Isaiah 12:5) Why It Matters to Make It Known in All the Earth • God Himself commands it—obedience is non-negotiable (Isaiah 12:5; Mark 16:15). • His glory deserves global praise; creation’s King is not a provincial deity (Psalm 96:3; Revelation 15:4). • Salvation is universal in scope—people everywhere need the same Redeemer (John 3:16; Romans 10:12-13). • Proclamation is the means God chose for faith to arise (Romans 10:14-17). • Declaring His works counters false gods and ideologies (Isaiah 45:22-23; Acts 17:29-31). • The gospel reaching every nation precedes Christ’s return (Matthew 24:14). • Sharing His deeds cements them in our own hearts; testimony strengthens faith (Psalm 105:1-5). Supporting Passages • “Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.” (Psalm 96:3) • “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” (Mark 16:15) • “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of peace.” (Romans 10:15) • “The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.” (Habakkuk 2:14) Practical Ways to Obey Today • Speak of God’s works in everyday conversation—normalize gospel talk. • Support and participate in missions, both local and global. • Share Scripture online, leveraging technology for worldwide reach. • Model Christlike living so actions corroborate words (Philippians 2:15-16). • Disciple others who will, in turn, proclaim Him further (2 Timothy 2:2). Takeaway Truth God’s glorious deeds are too great to be confined; He intends the whole earth to hear, believe, and rejoice. |
