CALL OF THE GENTILE

 

 

Hi Everyone:

 

Romans 1:1-4: "…for the gospel of God -  the gospel he promised beforehand through the prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David, and who through the spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord."

 

Paul declares his authority, given by God, to evangelize the Gentiles (verse 1) to deliver the Good News of salvation. His salutation in verse 7: "To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints."

 

The Gentiles were called after the Jewish nation, for the most part, rejected God's Son. Are you one of the Gentiles to be called a saint? Would you like to be? How would you like to receive a personal invitation from God? You can and all you have to do is read John 3:16 and:

HARDENED HEARTS

 

 

Hi Everyone:

 

Acts 28:31 "Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ." For two years Paul preached to the Jews in Rome, unfortunately he was preaching to people with hardened hearts. In fact he was preaching to them using scripture from the Old Testament; about the Law of Moses and the Prophets; however, some did believe. God did say He would heal them if they would listen.

 

People of little or no faith will never accept the truth of the Bible, but that doesn't mean we should stop trying. As Paul has said, we 'should preach in season and out of season' truths of the Bible. He told them 'God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles.' God no longer deals with the Jewish nation as He did before the beginning of the Church Age; it is now the time of the Gentiles, it is the Church Age.

 

Are you listening? To learn what God has in store for you, read the Bible and He will tell you, Nick                 Number 379

Hi Everyone:

 

Acts 27:23, "…do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you." So keep up your courage, men…" These are the words of God to Paul when the ship he was on was about to be destroyed. When God has a plan nothing will stand in its way; we should be comforted by His grace and mercy.

 

As Paul told them not to fear for their lives, we too ought to live our lives in the same way. We should remember we are part of His plan and it will be carried out to the letter. So why not believe and have confidence that we will be taken care of by Him? It will be so because He said so.

 

How do I know, you ask; you too, can know by:

SANCTIFIED BY ME

 

 

Hi Everyone:

 

Acts 26:18, "…and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me." Paul is explaining to King Agrippa what had happened to him on the road to Damascus and what the Lord had told him. Paul's mission was to preach the Good News to both Jew and Gentile alike.

 

As we read Jesus' words it is 'by faith we are saved and not by works.' If it were by works man could boast, but no man can, no one can brag that he was good or earned his way into God's grace.  We are all sinners and in need of God's mercy which He extends o all those who, in faith, believe He is the Son of God and died and was resurrected for our salvation.

 

All these truths can be found in the Bible, I implore those of you who have never read the Bible to:
