Romans 11:6 “And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.” God used our author to make a definite and absolute point—you and I are saved by grace. You and I can do nothing –nothing- to earn salvation. God enables each of us to have a relationship with Himself only because of His love for each of us. Normally we would conclude enabling is something we should not do. God says without enabling we are lost—He is the Greatest Enabler to ever exist. Thank God for His love, His enabling character and His having saved us by His grace alone.

Romans 11:5 “So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.” Elijah thought he was alone in his faith commitment. God assured Elijah there were thousands of other faith filled followers. Have you ever thought–is there anyone else who truly believes as a Christian should believe? Evolution, abortion, greed, immoral living, LGBTQ+ has become the ridiculous LGBTQQIP2SAA. Is a God fearing and God loving mentality a thinking of long ago? Far from it! God’s grace rules the world–we just should not be so quiet!

Romans 10:14b “..And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” A parent’s responsibility is to teach their children. Without teaching a child will not only live aimlessly, the child will do him/her self harm. A Christian’s responsibility is to teach those who do not know their Savior. Without teaching a person will not only live aimlessly, but the person will do themselves harm.Thank whoever taught you!

Romans 10:9 “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Declare and believe and you will be saved–what a phenomenal promise. Salvation is guaranteed by declaring and believing. We will all enter eternity–why woud anyone in their right mind not declare and believe? Thank God for having blessed you and me with a right mind! Nothing is more valuable.

Romans 9:32m “…they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works…” You and I can do nothing to gain eternal life. We live and die by faith. We receive all the benefits of being children of God because of the advocacy work of our Savior. We live under the wonderful umbrella of grace only which is a free and loving gift from our Savior. Our good works show our appreciation for His grace. If we think otherwise we detract from the the total work and love for us expressed in our Savior’s indescribable love. Good works are a natural action of appreciation, nothing more and nothing less.
