Romans 1:20a “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen,…” It is impossible for God not to be Himself. Every superlative known to man does not give enough credit to the magnificence of God. Trees, oceans, animals, sky, humans—the entire universe testifies to the wonder of our Creater. We are all surrounded by the eternal power and divine nature of our God. Praise to God for having chosen you and me to represent him to both ourselves and others as we walk this life on earth. What an honor!!

He knew He would be hated because of His speaking and teaching. He exposed hypocrisy to authorities while He welcomed many into His circle of those He loved and came to save. Our Great Teacher never spoke to please a crowd or spoke telling a small or large group what they wanted to hear or was a popular thought of the time. He was never ashamed to represent truth. It was impossible for Him to speak anything but truth. Let’s learn this great lesson as we represent our faithful Heavenly Father.

Romans 1:12 “that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.” Which is more valuable–a friend giving you a large amount of money or your friend giving you encouragement? Which is more valuable–you having a boat load of assets or you receiving a boatload of encouragement? Which is more valuable–you valuing the love and encouragement of your Savior or you valuing recognition as being a celebrity? Encouragement wins every time. If that statement is true, doesn’t it make sense to live our lives actively encouraging one another? Imagine what happens with encouragement!

Romans 1:6 “And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.” Either you are a Jew or you are a Gentile. In all likelihood you are a Gentile. You are not only a Gentile, you are a unique and blessed Gentile because your Savior has called you to be His child. That special calling gives you a security and peace which you can enjoy both on this earth and eternally. Relax and enjoy your special calling!
