Rom.10:14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher? 10:15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!"{Isaiah 52:7}

The picture for most Christian's is the commander and chief sending by harsh command his solders into the world to preach the Good News! If not you are a trader, you are not loyal, and you will not be saved!

Colossians 1:13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;

But the context of Roman's is Spirit Vs. Law, law is all the commandments that condemned us. Yes, the commandments that stated beyond any doubt there was not one righteous man on earth accept the one from above without sin. Simply put, the one Christ Jesus he alone was declared righteous by the law, why? Because he had no sin! The rest must be made righteous by God, through God's provision of love to overlook are sins.

1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers.

1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

Now lets reason together, where is Christ now? In heaven, what is the direction for God's children those born of Spirit on earth, it is Spirit, correct? In other words, Christ is spirit and in him is God's Holy Spirit as God's temple so the body members born of Spirit must be sent by Spirit, not religious corporation, or a person of the flesh, not even the guilt of our own flesh will complete a work that must be done in Spirit and truth.

Romans 3:20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

Now we have the context rooted in Spirit and truth. No Good News was preached by a world wide campaign organized by humans efforts, through human programing and intellect. No printing presses were set up by God to complete the working of Holy Spirit sown into the hearts of mankind from above.

1 Corinthians 3:16 Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?

2 Corinthians 1:22 who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

2 Corinthians 3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

2 Corinthians 3:6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

The Good News started with the unmerited kindness of God, born again regenerated by Holy Spirit in each child of God heart. They were directed each one by Christ their head, they were motivated by love, the love in their hearts for their Father. They like no others would share what no person had ever shared on earth but Christ, the personality of their Father, the Father of love. It was not a Good News of judgment, the law settled that matter, we could not meet it, we could not keep it, we were condemn by it. The Good News was not preaching judgment and condemned by God's righteous laws. It was being preached from God's through us without sin because His son Christ Jesus redeemed us once for all times.

2 Corinthians 3:8 won't service of the Spirit be with much more glory? 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

They like no other people were connected not to this earth but heaven, by Spirit and truth, that is, Christ Jesus. They had the will of the Father in them, by the life of Christ Jesus indwelling them they were like body members always doing the will of the head. Christ would open their mouths, he would send them on divine appointments to those Christ had meant with in Spirit and truth in the secret place of their hearts. Christ would knock and they had opened. The body of Christ would than minister too them, what? The Spirit of God.

Revelation 14:6 I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.

Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

The law was not going to send them out to preach, some religion causing guilt could not send them out. Judgment and love do not mix into a sweet pie of Spirit and truth. The waters needed was the waters from above, to stop the drought of a fleshly lead world, in what? Harsh and demanding judgments.

Revelation 7:17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

1 John 4:17 In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.

1 John 4:8 He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.

These had been prepared by God, how? Through thousand's of years of judging each others flesh, by his own commandments. Now they were set free by Spirit into the freedom of Christ qualifying them like no other people, the Jews, to share the truth of God's love with mankind.

Rom. 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"} 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

However, the weeds had been sown, nothing new here, but the same old weeds of death, judgments by righteous laws condemning us of falling short of God's glory leaving us in death, as a sinner. This is the reason for letter of Roman's. No preaching was going toget done from below, but yeast teaching of God, that is, judging our sins as deserving of death. The Good News had to come from above, by a angel declaring something everlasting and new, the Good News, of freedom from the judgment of our flesh we are all so deserve of.

John 3:31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the Earth belongs to the Earth, and speaks of the Earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

John 1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

Without love there is no Good News, without being moved by love, that is, Spirit, because God the great Spirit is love, we can do nothing.

1 John 2:9 He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now. 2:10 He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

Philippians 1:17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

Colossians 2:2 that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,

Colossians 3:14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
