Title: Prepared Man Paul/Romans 1:13-15
Paul was ready to go to Rome and preach the gospel. He was prepared to say what he would say in front of the street man, Athens, Pharisees, Pelex, Governor Festus, and King Agrippa.
I. Paul's state of mind
II. How can I prepare for this?
Paul's preparation arose from a great principle. He was ready to work because he had confidence in the truth of the gospel and because he had boldness (courage). The reason I was ready to do something I didn't like was because I wasn't locked into my personal life like a soldier and I loved people. The reason I was ready to suffer was because I had zeal for God and trust in the Lord, and it was because I feared God more than men. Lastly, the reason I was ready to die was that I was not afraid of death because I had fulfilled the mission God gave me and lived faithfully.
Ⅲ. ready result
By being prepared, Paul was able to avoid surprises, time, and lost opportunities. In addition, I was able to use all cases for good, and gave flowers of obedience to God. Finally, as fear disappeared, I was able to have only joy, emotion, and gratitude.
I will conclude
As we prepare to serve, to suffer, and to die, the Lord forgives us, gives us faith, and prepares to save. Therefore, as Moses prepared for 40 years in the wilderness and Paul prepared for 3 years in the Arabian desert, we must all be prepared, regardless of age or gender, new or old believers. I pray in the name of the Lord that you can become prepared saints like Paul.
