What are we sharing? – Romans 1

What are we sharing?  – Romans 1    March 8, 2013 - Romans 1 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we prayerfully begin our Feast in Romans 1.   I see many things that are worthy for expounding upon in Romans 1.  I have chosen to dwell on Paul’s greeting to the saints in Rome.  “6 including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, 7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world. ” Romans 1:6-8, English Standard Version (ESV).  This describes you to a tee Saints.  You are loved by God, having received God’s gift of salvation and grace through Jesus.  “[ God of All Comfort ] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 ESV This is part of our nature as saints, being comforted by peace from the Holy Spirit by whom we are sealed.  This is what we are sharing with all who will come.  Salvation through Jesus and peace that passes understanding from the Holy Spirit.   Let the light of your soul, redeemed by Jesus shine!  The following quote is from; Matthew Henry’s Concise, Romans 1 Romans an overview; “The scope or design of the apostle in writing to the Romans appears to have been, to answer the unbelieving, and to teach the believing Jew; to confirm the Christian and to convert the idolatrous Gentile; and to show the Gentile convert as equal with the Jewish, in respect of his religious condition, and his rank in the Divine favour. These several designs are brought into on view, by opposing or arguing with the infidel or unbelieving Jew, in favour of the Christian or believing Gentile. The way of a sinner's acceptance with God, or justification in his sight, merely by grace, through faith in the righteousness of Christ, without distinction of nations, is plainly stated. This doctrine is cleared from the objections raised by Judaizing Christians, who were for making terms of acceptance with God by a mixture of the law and the gospel, and for shutting out the Gentiles from any share in the blessings of salvation brought in by the Messiah. In the conclusion, holiness is further enforced by practical exhortations.”  Matthew Henry’s Concise The Feast Fri, March 8, 2013, Romans 1, - “The apostle's commission. (1-7) Prays for the saints at Rome, and expresses his desire to see them. (8-15) The gospel way of justification by faith, for Jews and Gentiles. (16,17) The sins of the Gentiles set forth. (18-32)” – Matthew Henry Concise Pastor Glens complete Devotional Series |Click Here| See Destiny by Sandra Lee |Click Here| The Holy Spirit Is Calling by R. L.
