Calvin on world evangelism (comment on Genesis 17:23)
Today, when God wishes his gospel to be preached in the whole world, so that the world may be restored from death to life, he seems to ask for the impossible. We see how greatly we are resisted everywhere and with how many and what potent machinations Satan works against us, so that all roads are blocked by the princes themselves. Yet each man must perform his duty without yielding to any impediment. At the end our effort and our labours shall not fail; they shall receive the success which does not yet appear.

Our responsibility? Obedience to the great commission. God's promise? Success.
