There’s no such thing as “lost in translation” when it comes to the Word of God. It was meant to be written and translated to reach every receptive soul.
“Let this be written for a future generation,
that a people not yet created may praise the LORD:
19 “The LORD looked down from his sanctuary on high,
from heaven he viewed the earth,
20 to hear the groans of the prisoners
and release those condemned to death.”
21 So the name of the LORD will be declared in Zion
and his praise in Jerusalem
22 when the peoples and the kingdoms
assemble to worship the LORD.”
Psalm 102:18-22 NIV
“He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”
Mark 16:15 NIV
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,”
John 17:20 NIV
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
Matthew 24:14 NIV
“And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.”
Revelation 5:9 NIV
“I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’”
Isaiah 46:10 NIV
My purpose will stand – God intended the message of salvation to reach people from every tribe, language and nation. Without translation, this would not be possible (Acts 2:1-10). Amidst all the assault, His testimony through the Word will endure ’til the end of time.
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
