Sunday Seven: Romans 1
- Our willingness to serve and obey Jesus Christ enables us to be useful and usable servants to do work for him – work that really matters. Obedience begins as we renounce other masters, identify ourselves with Jesus, discover his will and live according to it, and consciously turn away from conflicting interests, even if these interests have been important to us in the past.
- Christians have both a privilege and a great responsibility. We have received forgiveness but we also received the responsibility to share the message of God’s forgiveness with others.
- God is the only permanent source of our security.
- When you pray continually about a concern don’t be surprised at how God answers.
- Although we cannot repay Christ for all he has done, we can demonstrate our gratitude by showing his love to others.
- When we fully understand what Christ has done for us and what he offers to others, we will be motivated to share the Good News. Ask God to rekindle that fresh eager attitude that wants to obey him and to tell others about Christ.
- By trusting Christ, our relationship with God is made right.
