I pray that you start every day with God. I chose to read daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “Set Apart.” Asiri Fernando ( ゲスト寄稿者 ) wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Romans 1:1–6. The key verse is, Paul was . . . set apart for the gospel of God.” Romans 1:1. My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ; before I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led me to use Our Daily Bread Ministries to inspire comments and witnessing.
Background:
Paul explained the theological foundation of the gospel (chapters. 1–8). In chapters 1–3, Paul set out to show that all human beings are sinners, concluding that “all have sinned and fall short” of God’s standards (3:23). We aren’t saved by obeying the law but by God’s action of justifying us through faith in Jesus (1:16–17; 3:22–26). We’re justified (declared righteous and made right with God) by grace alone (sola gratia), through faith alone (sola fide), and in Christ alone (solus Christus).
My Comments to You:
The barriers I face in sharing my faith are how to do it. I use my writing talents and interests in the scriptures to present The Gospel.
Sharing The Gospel is a privilege all believers in Jesus are given. We have “received grace” to call others to this faith (vv. 5–6). God has set us apart to carry the exciting news of the gospel to those around us, whether on tuk tuks or wherever we are. May we look for opportunities in our daily lives to tell others the good news that is Jesus
.Reflect:
What barriers do you experience in sharing your faith? What talents or interests can you use to present the good news?
My Prayer for Us:
Jesus, thank You for making us Your mouthpiece for Your good news. May Your Spirit give us the courage and love to share about You today.
