The Daily Word
![]() |
There are words in the King James Version of the Bible, that we no longer use in our 21st Century everyday life. In newer versions they either get changed to what are now more common words or the whole phrase/sentence is rewritten in a different style. One of those words is ‘whomsoever’, which we would perhaps replace with ‘whoever’. As an old person who was brought up on the KJV, I like whomsoever as it has a quaint ring to it.
However, it doesn’t really matter, as it is what follows that is more important and one verse that is so important that has the word in it, is found in Romans 10 13, “Whomsoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”.
What a promise is this! If it was a promise made by man it would have little value, but Paul was inspired by God when he wrote it, so because it is God’s promise, it is totally reliable. When we call upon someone, it is generally because we trust them to do something for us and in general, that person is the only one who can help, and this is exactly what Paul had in mind. Those of us that have put our trust in our Lord Jesus Christ have definitely reached out in our need to God and He has fulfilled His promise and will continue to do so until He comes again.
