"Greeting in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 6 October 2011"
Today's Blog Title: "A Pathway To Praise"
Today's Scripture Reading: Romans 15:1-33
Today's Key Verse: Romans 15:13 "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
In Chapter 15 Paul continues the topic developed in Romans 14. Practicing righteousness requires us to live love with one another. This means we must stop judging others and instead evaluate how the exercise of our freedoms affect them! We strong ones must "bear with" the weak, in the interest of building them up (verses 1-4). Our goal is the experience of a God-given spirit of unity enabling us to glorify Him together (verses 5,6) Paul says it again. accept and welcome on another in the same way Jesus welcomed us, UNCONDITIONALLY, just as we were (verses 7,8). Our unity will glorify God. We in turn will be filled with joy and peace and overflow with hope (verses 9-13).
Paul now begins a lengthy conclusion. He has written not because he doubts the Roman Church, but because he has such confidence in it (verses 14-16). He has not visited Roman yet, in part because he is driven to preach to those who have not yet heard of Jesus (verses 17-22). Yet Paul plans to visit, perhaps on the way to Spain. Meanwhile. he asks them simply to pray for him in his struggles to please God (verses 23-33). In the closing verses of this Chapter, even the great apostle Paul felt a need for prayer support. How much greater our needs must be even today.
Today's Hymn: "Beautiful Garden Of Prayer"
There's a garden where Jesus is waiting, There's a place that is wondrously fair;
For it glows with the light of His presence, "This that beautiful garden of prayer.
Oh, the beautiful garden, the garden of prayer, Oh, the beautiful garden of prayer;
There my Savior awaits, and He opens the gates, To the beautiful garden of prayer
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, may we as Christians be united for Thee in everything that we say and do. May we as we read Thy Word have Patience, Endurance, Comfort and Encouragement as we read the Scriptures where we have Hope in the Lord Jesus Christ through are faith and trust in Him.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "Christians have been sanctified, that is, set apart by the Holy Spirit for God's service."
