Title Spread the Gospel (Romans 15:14-19)
Many people in the world live their lives with the meaning of their existence and self-pride.
Sometimes they reveal themselves with a sense of superiority, and sometimes they are satisfied with themselves by presenting their complete and perfect self.
do it too.
So in the field of our lives, we often see people who are almost good, sincere, righteous and perfect.
is going to be
But no matter how true, righteous, and perfect we live, I do not see nor know nor understand.
You should also know that there are shortcomings, weaknesses, and loopholes that you cannot do.
There are people who move, respect, and build up through their revealed selves, but sometimes they show poetry through their revealed selves.
There are people who suffer, get hurt, and feel discouraged.
Therefore, we must always know what is lacking and weak, so we must learn to be humble, and make many mistakes and make mistakes.
Knowing that you may make bad judgments, you must always be cautious and polite.
I'm doing my best and I'm not getting any fruit, or I'm not being recognized for doing my best.
There are good reasons for not doing so.
I thought I was the best, but I wasn't used, or my name was called even though I was in the front row
There are good reasons for not losing.
Even though I evangelized hard and was kind, no one followed me, or I sweat the most at the position of my mission.
There's a good reason no one cares even though it's leaking a lot.
You have to check whether you have deviated from your pure purpose or if your own purpose or self-satisfaction is above the glory of God.
do.
Even though I do the work entrusted to me, there are too many complaints and complaints and too many demands, so God is doing it wrong.
that's what you're doing.
In order to do God's work, even when we say things like this, emotions are involved, or human feelings and blood
If you are biased, you are not doing God's work well.
Because we did not know that doing God's work only requires humility, gratitude, and obedience.
is.
today's reading
" (Romans 15:14) My brethren, that you yourselves are full of goodness and filled with all knowledge, able to counsel one another
I'm sure too."
“(Romans 15:15) But I want to remind you again…”
"(Romans 15:16) ... that it might be made acceptable by being sanctified in the Holy Spirit."
Therefore, God's work must be accepted by God.
How can we serve and devote ourselves to accepting God?
1. We must become servants of Christ Jesus.
We must now clearly understand that all the missions we have in God are not mine, but that of Christ Jesus.
you need to know
If we mistake the mission God has given us as our own work, we may become proud and greedy.
and fall into emotions.
But the least we do in the church is the work of Christ Jesus, and God
It is God's work that He wants to accomplish through you.
(Romans 15:16) This grace is that I have become a servant of Christ Jesus for the sake of the Gentiles,
He gave me the office of a priest..."
We have been entrusted with the priesthood of the gospel by God for the blessing of Jesus Christ and
became an army.
Therefore, we must do more things that please God.
“(Romans 15:16) that it might be made acceptable by being sanctified in the Holy Spirit.”
Am I a servant of Christ Jesus now?
Are you a worker doing my job for me?
We must become servants of Jesus Christ in any circumstance, circumstance, or condition.
2. You must not dare to speak except by the power of the Holy Spirit.
“(Romans 15:18) Christ through me in word and deed, signs and wonders, that the Gentiles might be obedient.
I dare not speak of anything except the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Even Jesus said he would not say anything that God did not say.
If there is something you really want to say, something you want to convey, or something you want to share, there are words and works, the power of signs and wonders, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
You must have faith to speak only what has been done.
Especially, when preaching the Gospel, we must do so.
When we talk about the work of the gospel and the words of evangelism, power and gifts must follow it.
For that reason, we must speak of the work of the Holy Spirit.
My means and methods to dedicate myself to receiving God's work, the work God has entrusted to me.
You don't need this.
No matter how good my method is, there is no result.
so
“(Romans 15:17) … I have boasting about the works of God in Christ Jesus.”
“(Romans 15:18) … I dare not speak except by the power of the Holy Spirit”
3. We must spread the gospel of Christ widely.
The gospel of God, the gospel of Jesus Christ, is not preached according to my feelings and emotions.
The gospel of Christ cannot be preached only partially.
We don't just go to the places we want to go and preach the gospel of Christ.
The gospel must be preached to everyone at all times, everywhere, with strong and courageous faith and the help of the Holy Spirit.
have to tell
And the gospel must be preached to those who do not believe or lack faith, with the heart of those who serve.
do.
"(Romans 15:20) And I have endeavored not to preach the gospel where the name of Christ is called, so that I may not build upon another's foundation."
It is arrogant to say that we preach the gospel to believers who believe well, serve well, and serve well.
Our gospel is not to build a house on someone else's ground, but to build a house on an empty lot.
To say that Jehovah's Witnesses or some edifications preach the gospel to people they believe
It is preying on innocent sheep.
You have to be extremely careful and be vigilant.
Therefore, we must become servants acceptable to God.
They must be servants of Christ Jesus and must not speak except in the power of the Holy Spirit.
We must spread the gospel of Christ widely.
