Bible Reading: Rom. 15: 14 - 21
Topic: Because Of Grace
People view grace as a
lazy man's way out of the demands of God. Grace is seen as a relief from duty.
Two persons do the same thing in the same way and get different results, Why?
Because one has grace for it and the other does not.
Therefore grace
specializes a man for duty.
Paul still has something
to offer to brethren who are filled with goodness, knowledge and capacity
because of grace. Grace does not allow him to rest. It drags him to duty, it
makes him seek where Christ has not been preached so he could preach Christ
there also.
When people are struggling
and quarreling to do God's work, striving over members, engaging in adverts to corner
people from other denominations and engaging in packaging in the name of
ministry, it is because they do not have grace. Grace enables and empowers a
man but also delimits him so that he does not go into what he is not enabled.
Let us resolve to seek the
grace of God in life and in service.
Prayer
O God, give me grace that
I may serve you in an acceptable way in Jesus Name, Amen.
Memory Verse Rom 15: 16
"That I (Paul) should
be the Minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the Gospel of God;
that the offering up of the Gentiles, might be acceptable, being sanctified by
the Holy Ghost."
