Today's Scripture *October 23, 2008*
Romans 1:5
Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name.
Christians have both a privilege and a great responsibility. Paul and the apostles received the privilege of being called, but they also received the authority and responsibility to share with others what God has done. God also graciously forgave our sins when we believed in Him as Lord. In doing this, we are committing ourselves to begin a new life. Paul's new life also involved a God-given responsibility: to witness about God's Good News to the world as a missionary. God may or may not call you to be a foreign missionary, but He does call you (and all believers) to be Christ's ambassadors and witness to the changed life that Jesus Christ has begun in you.
Heavenly Father, Gracious Lord, Eternal King! We worship You!
God, we ask for the courage to be Your spokespeople in this broken world. Help us to tell others of what You have done for us. How You have changed our lives by Your forgiveness, grace, mercy, and love. Help us to be your ambassadors. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
May God richly bless you!
In His Service,
April
