Bed Time Bible Beam: Romans 1:14

Romans 1:14
"I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish."

I love it when God sends me a message through His word to share with you all! When I read this I immediately knew what God was showing me! In this specific part of Paul's letter to the Romans, he was telling them how he was longing to go there and preach to them.. I related this a lot to the ministry my family and I have been placed in. Although I don't long to "preach," I long to share whatever message God sends me with, with whoever He sends to hear it. My prayer is always for the Lord to draw the lost into those churches and for Him to communicate to them through me. Something that we as Christians sometimes forget is that we are ALL called to minister to the hurting and the lost, and that God loves absolutely EVERYONE! As Paul stated in Romans, "both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the foolish." Put more into today's terms: We are under obligation as Christians to love and minister to both the rich AND the poor, to both the old AND the young, to both depressed and weary hearted, to the homosexual AND the heterosexual, to the white and the black, to the Chinese and the Japanese, to what this world would consider "ugly" and to what the world considers beautiful. Because God took the time to create every single living soul on this earth. He thought of each of them personally while He was beaten and abused to death. So who are we as Christians -who should know better- to rob them of the love of Jesus Christ simply because they aren't the same as us or we don't particularly like them.. It is not our place to choose who will or will not go to Heaven. But when I stand before Jesus, I'd like to say that I was a willing vessel ready to do whatever He called me to do. So let's take the labels off of people and see them all as Christ sees them, because He died for you too, and someone cared enough about His calling on their life to not care what you looked like or how you acted. God Bless You All! Please feel free to Private Message me, or to comment below!
