Romans 15 & 16
from Perfectly Imperfect Together Hosted by Perfectly Imperfect Together
In Romans 15 & 16, Paul reminds us that it is the God of hope who fills us with joy and peace as we entrust our lives to Him. Hope is a desire or expectation for a certain thing to come forth. We pray, we wait, and we trust the Lord for every outcome because our hope is in Him and He is faithful. We experience the peace and joy of the Lord because our hope is anchored in Him. As we move forward with Jesus and grow in Him, we join in unity together with other people who are passionate for Jesus around us. We encourage each other, bear each other's daily life burdens, and help each other. We serve others in the love of Jesus because He served us with His life. He gave us an example to follow. We join together in love, unity, life, and ministry. As we do, the world around us sees our love and unity - the world sees Jesus through us. We are to pour into each other out of the pour-over of Jesus within us. We need to be intentional about not letting divisions and tensions rise because that is what the enemy wants. The only thing that matters is Jesus and saving lives for eternity so we need to stay laser focused on Jesus and keep the main thing the main thing.
