When God’s word is faithfully proclaimed, it results in obedience of the Gentiles. Just how far does this mission extend? It extends to and involves the entire planet.
The world includes Jerusalem.
In the first century, Jerusalem was where Jesus was executed, where He rose again, and where His followers began proclaiming the truth of God’s word.
For us in the twenty-first century, we need to be faithful in first reaching our home communities.
The world includes Judea and Samaria.
The phrase “round about unto” expresses that Paul’s journeys did not take him on a direct route to Illyricum, but that rather he traveled around before reaching such a distance.
The world includes the remotest parts of the world.
God has created all humans on this planet. Thus, He seeks to save every tribe, every language, every race, every individual.
