LOVE IS PROVABLE
TEXT ROMANS 1 16-21
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Apostle Paul studied under the great Gamaliel.
He was so prolific that he was no doubt headed for the very top in his days.
When Paul met Christ, he dumped all his honours and scholarship at the feet of the Lord.
Philippians 3 verse 8,
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,"
Many treat the matter of paying the cost of the gospel as an unserious matter, yet it is the most serious issue of our eternity.
Many are even ashamed to identify themselves as Christians in the public.
They come to church on Sunday, but they deny the master in their offices on Monday.
They speak in tongues on Sunday, but declare on Monday that "we run a secular business". Secular means godless.
The Lord said, He will deny them on the last day. He will command them to depart from Him because they were workers of iniquity on the earth.
Because when they knew God, they refused to honor Him, their hearts became darkened and they became vain in their imaginations.
Apostle Paul refused to be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, for by revelation he understood and declared that the gospel is God's power unto salvation.
What are you doing for Jesus?
Are you a bench warmer?
It is only those sacrifices done for the Master that has eternal value.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not
bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
