Book Of Romans: Shalom 2 U, #10

By Shalom Jim

The book of Romans may be the Apostle Paul's best work, although they all give us vital information about believing in Christ  Jesus.  The important thing about this book is that it repeatedly tells us that we are not under the Law but under Grace.  This book will reveal how you can obey the Law through Grace. It's the " Christian Faith ",  all about  Faith in Jesus Christ.  We have a hard time believing because we rely on what our flesh tells us instead of what the word of God says.  This book will reveal to you how to " walk after the Spirit " and not after the flesh.  This is a daily devotional where we meditate on a scripture, thank Jesus for what He has done, and pray for others all in a few minutes of time.  Shalom 2 U

ROMANS 1:1. CALLED

Rom 1:1 WEB Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,  5. through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;

6. among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

Paul was miraculously called. He wasn't chosen by man but by God.  We also are miraculously called.  Yes some faithful servant of God told us the Good News but it was God working with His faithful servant.  A servant of Jesus Christ, the Anointed One.  We are in him, anointed servants.  We all are apostles, disciples, kings, and priests; when we are in Him. There are special gifts of the Holy Spirit that the Holy Spirit gives to whoever He pleases. Still  "We received grace and apostleship".  An apostle is one who is sent to declare the Good News, to declare the Kingdom of God.  Don't see yourself as an ordinary Christian.  You are in Christ and Christ is in you.  Don’t forget that the Gospel is Good News.  It's about Jesus saving us by His Grace that we receive by Faith in Him,  not ourselves.

Dear Jesus!  Thank you for coming and bringing us the Good News of Your love, Grace, and mercy.  Thank You for calling Paul and so many others.  Thank You for calling us.  Help us through the anointing that You have given us to share Your love and Grace to others, to declare the Kingdom of God.  Grace, Grace,  Amazing Grace.  To God be the glory Amen!  Shalom 2 U 

ROMANS 1:5-6 SENT ONES

Rom 1:5-6 WEB5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake; 6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

Paul is saying here we receive grace and apostleship. This is hard for us to understand and believe. Apostleship is for everyone to spread the Good News. There are special Apostles with special gifts of the Holy Spirit. We also need to see ourselves as disciples ( a learner, pupils, disciples), a follower of Jesus Christ. We are in Him and He is in us.

Dear Jesus! You continually do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can imagine. You prayed that we would be one, You in us and we in You.  John 17:22‭-‬23 WEB The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one; I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.  As we meditate on Your words to us, we become empowered to follow You and declare that the Kingdom of God is here.  To God be the glory Amen!  Shalom 2 U

ROMANS 1:16-17 GOSPEL OF CHRIST

Rom 1:16-17 WEB16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek. 17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.

The Gospel of Christ

GOSPEL: good news

Christ: all about what He has done for us. It's not what we do except believe in Him, from faith to faith.

The Gospel is also referred to as the Gospel of Grace.  You only get Grace by faith in what Jesus has done for you,  not by the Law or your willpower.  You receive all the power that you need to live righteously when you receive His free gift of righteousness.  Romans 10:4 WEB For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Dear Jesus!  Your Word, the Good News says that you came to save us. Your name. Jesus means Jehovah Saves. You truly saved us through Your sacrifice.  We believe that there is nothing that we could do to make us righteous.  You do it all for us when we believe in You.  To God be the glory Amen!  Shalom 2 U

ROMANS 1:24-26 ONLY 1 GOD

Rom 1:24-26 WEB 24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves; 25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural
