What Is In Your Heart Today?
March 19, 2013 - Romans 12
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully (or should I say prayerfully and
carefully), continue our Feast in Romans 12. Because as saints called by Jesus
and justified by faith we are to dedicate ourselves to God. We do not run around
and point out to others how humbly, and faithfully we use our spiritual
gifts, in our service to Jesus. There
is no need to point out our duties as Saints; our very actions will highlight
our calling. We are called to
peaceable service to all men, with patience and compassion by our Lord Jesus.
“19 Beloved,
never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written,
“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if
your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to
drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be
overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
Romans 12:19-21, English Standard Version (ESV). With this entire thought in mind we must
ask ourselves what is our motivation for sharing Jesus’ love? Do I share with my enemies to clobber them
or because I really want them to become Saints, sealed with the peace that
passes understanding by the Holy Spirit.
Are we sharing because the love of God fills our hearts? We can
be sure God knows our hearts. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against
such things there is no law.” Galatians
5:22-23 ESV. Look at your life
in relationship to Jesus. Because the Holy
Spirit motivates us; we should see these things in our very lives; love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control! Never forget God knows our hearts and
motivations.

Are we sealed? – Romans 1

Are we sealed? – Romans 11
March 18, 2013 - Romans 11
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 11. There some Jews who accepted Jesus as the
messiah, the remnant that received the gift of salvation thru faith in Jesus received
God’s grace. God overrode the Jews
unbelief by making the Gentiles recipients of His grace. The Gentiles should protect against pride
and unbelief, The Jews shall be called as a nation, and brought into God's covenant
again. Can the creation begin to understand the wisdom,
goodness, and justice of the Creator? “33 Oh, the
depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his
judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
34 “For who has known the
mind of the Lord,
or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Or who has given a gift
to him
that he might be repaid?”
36 For from him and through
him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” Romans 11:33-36, English Standard Version
(ESV). We must accept God’s gift of
eternal life thru Jesus by faith. “May the God of
hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may
overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 11:16-17, ESV. Thank God for our trust in him leads to faith
in Jesus whereby justification and righteousness are received as a gift. Just as salvation is given by Jesus, we
have joy and peace from the Holy Spirit by whom we are sealed.

“16 But
they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed
what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing
through the word of Christ,” Romans 11:16-17, ESV.

Faith comes from where? – Romans 10

Faith comes from where? – Romans
10
March 17, 2013 - Romans 10
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 10. The Jews tried to build on the wrong
foundation. They seek to be saved by the law and works. The foundation we are trying to build on is
righteousness and faith in Jesus. Jesus doesn’t differentiate between Jews and
Gentiles in justification and salvation. The Jews might gain understanding from Old
Testament prophecies; (18-21) “20 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say,
“I have been found by those
who did not seek me;
I have shown myself to those who did not
ask for me.”
21 But of Israel he says,
“All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”” Romans 10:20-21, English Standard Version
(ESV). Our faith is in Jesus not in
the law or tradition. If we expect to
live by faith we must continue to feast in God’s Word; “16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah
says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes
from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ,” Romans 10:16-17, ESV. We shall endeavor to keep the first thing
first; salvation and righteousness thru Jesus. There is no other way by which we might be
saved. No other name than Jesus; by which
we might be saved. Bless you for
Feasting in God’s word; where faith comes by hearing the Word! Praise God! Our righteousness is in
Jesus! Amen?

Saved by tradition? – Romans 9

Saved by tradition? – Romans 9
March 16, 2013 - Romans 9
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our
Feast in Romans 9. When I went into the
military at the age of eighteen, the process by which we were inducted was
like an assembly line. There we had
lines for clothing, haircuts, physicals, shots, etc… We were organized by
groups and as we went through the induction process we stayed in our place
just as we were organized. The
one person making my dog tags said to me; “Religion?” To which I replied; “What are the choices?” He looked up at me and said; “Are you
Catholic?” When I answered no he said;
“Protestant” finished my dog tags and put them in my hands. The reason I remember this I was a
Christian by tradition. Had the man
said are you a Christian I would have said yes! I knew that everyone in my family were
Christians therefore so was I. Not
because of faith in Jesus however, it was because of family tradition. “32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were
based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 as it is
written,
“Behold, I
am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;
and whoever believes in him will not be
put to shame.”” Romans 9:32-33, English
Standard Version (ESV). It was ok
because I thought Christianity, Jesus and heaven were more like a story told
to keep people in line. Along those
lines I thought that it was a good tradition and therefore I was a Christian
by birthright. I didn’t have a
relationship with Jesus that would lead to life, faith and salvation. I was lost and it didn’t bother me because
I thought I was saved by tradition, a good man. “Put
on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts,
kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,” Colossians 3:12 ESV. As a traditional Christian not only wasn’t
I saved but I had none of the qualities mentioned in this verse. Praise God! I didn’t die in combat; I lived
until I was convinced what a miserable condition I was in. When I realized
that I needed Jesus, he was there holding out his arms for me. The truth is some treat the Church like a
club that you can join if you’re invited.
If you measure up to the standard of the current club members. There may be fellowship without faith in
Jesus. Without faith in Jesus there is
there is no hope or love and no future. There is no salvation in tradition or
the law. No one is saved without a
personal relationship with Jesus.

“let it be known to all of you and to all the people of
Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom
God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. And
there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven
given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:10, 12 ESV.
