Title: Paying Off Your Debt
Contents
Subject: A life of paying off debt. Verse: Romans 1:11-16
At the heart of Christian doctrine is grace. To become a believer in Jesus means to have received the grace of God.
Grace is the absolute love of God that will be revealed through Jesus Christ. The joy of life is to enjoy the grace of God.
Living without grace is like a broken cistern, cut off from the source of living water. God's grace is infinite. Charles Spurgeon was on his way home from a Sunday service.
I was riding a wagon over the bridge over the River Thames. It was then that I suddenly had a thought. 'Ah! Am I not a little fish in the River Thames?
What if I drank all this water and the Thames dried up?' Then God said to the little fish: "Drink as much as you like, little fish.
My grace is sufficient for you. "I also thought, 'Am I not a little mouse from the days of Egypt?
This little rat eats that grain, but what if I eat all of it and the bar is empty?' Then I heard the voice of Joseph. “Eat yourselves. You little mouse.
" Suddenly, I was like, 'Am I not a hiker?' I thought to myself, 'The mountain air is so good, what if I drank it all while breathing and the air was exhausted?
Then God opened the heavens and said. "Drink all you can, little man. My grace is sufficient for you."
Our lives are tiring, but if God opens our heavens every time, it is possible to live our lives with power.
We are saved and live because of that grace. To accept this grace, this is faith and salvation. There are two kinds of grace in the world.
The first is universal grace.
This is our health and our household and children's matter. This is different for each person.
The second is the love of God revealed through Jesus Christ with absolute grace.
There is no difference in this love, but there is a difference between realizing and accepting it or not accepting it. To be a Christian is to know that one has received grace, and because of that grace
will become a living person. Faith must begin with grace and end with grace. In Greek, grace and gratitude have the same etymology. God has given us grace for free
We can fulfill our mission of salt and light in history only when we say that we receive grace through debt rather than the ritual of receiving grace for free. When you realize grace, you become a debtor.
The higher level of receiving grace is accepting it as debt. Paul confessed that I am indebted to both Greeks and barbarians, wise and foolish.
Physically, we are indebted to our parents, our brothers, our country, and all those who are suffering and suffering. The greatest debt among them is the debtor to God's love.
How do we pay off these debts? It is not only to have the attitude of a servant before God, but like the confession of the apostle Paul,
Everyone will have to pay this debt. The more we all have the heart of a debtor and receive God's grace, the more we help our neighbors, the more we preach the spiritual gospel.
I hope that you will give them faith, love, and hope in their hearts so that they can live with hope in the kingdom of heaven.
