Romans 12:3 “For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do no think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.” God has given each of us talent and along with that talent purpose. All of us are therefore equipped to serve Him in the capacity He has prepared for each of us. We are not to abuse or waste that talent, but use our gifts in service to Him. That is the humble duty of all Christians while living faithful lives as His dear children.

Romans 11:33 “Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!” Although you and I have been created in the image of God, we are woefully lacking our God’s wisdom and knowledge. We are incapable of approaching His understanding. All you and I can do is live by faith thanking our Heavenly Father for caring for each of us only because of His great love. Therefore we read, study and apply His Word, The Bible, as best we can as His faithful children.

Romans 10:5-6 “So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.” Being a loving Christian is a natural character trait of faith. That character trait accomplishes nothing for your or my salvation. Jesus accomplished it ALL. Good works are simply a thank you to our God for the blessings He pours on you and me. Good works never have and never will gain eternity. The grace of God through the life, death and resurrection of our Savior is responsible for our salvation. If that was not true “grace would no longer be grace”. Have a great weekend.

Romans 10:17 “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.” If you never heard God’s Word you would not know Him. Someone thought it important that you know God. Your life on this earth and your eternal life were at stake. Without hearing and believing the Gospel message life become a meaningless existence. What is your and my responsibility? As simple as simple gets. Tell others–our children, friends, neighbors, the world–about the saving truth of the Gospel. Big job. Simple job. The most important job in the world.

Romans 10:12 “For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile–the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him.” Does skin color, country of origin, age or language one speaks determine the love of God? Absolutely not! Jesus lived, died and rose for all. Every person we see on the street has been bought by our Savior with His precious blood. Every child formed in the womb is precious to our Savior. There is no difference. Our God, without question, blesses all who praise Him. That is exactly why you are blessed!
