Romans is a letter a man named Paul wrote to help God's family love God and love each other.
Today's Story
Paul keeps writing, and in this part he has the happiest news to share. He wants everyone to know that God's gift is for everyone.
Listen to how Paul says it: “Everyone who calls out to the Lord will be saved.” Everyone! Not just grown-ups. Not just one kind of people. Anyone, anywhere who calls on Jesus is welcomed right in. God runs to them with open arms.
But Paul asks a good question. How can people call on Jesus if they have never heard about Him? Somebody has to tell them the good news!
Then Paul says something sweet. He says the feet of the people who bring good news are beautiful. Beautiful feet! Not because feet are fancy — but because going and telling someone about Jesus is such a lovely, kind thing to do.
That means your feet can be beautiful too. When you tell a friend that Jesus loves them, when you share the good news, you are doing one of the kindest things in the whole world.
