The Best of the Feast
What Are
We Sharing?
Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.
“20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power
and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation
of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without
excuse.” Romans
1:20, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully read our Feast in Romans,
Chapter 1; “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.
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.
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, 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 ] 3 Blessed be the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 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!
Never
apologize for God’s Word, if any are offended it’s because they are living in
sin. Don’t twist God’s Word to support
a sinner, in doing so you would just condemn them as well as yourself from
salvation; “8 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God
gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They
were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice.
They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are
gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent,
haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish,
faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's
righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die,
they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.” 2
Corinthians 1:3-4, ESV. Only God can forgive sin! If the Lord is willing I
will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
God
Bless You,
Brother
Mike
