Romans 9:1-5

Romans 9:1-4a
Do you have relatives or friends that have rejected the Gospel message? Do you love them enough to continue praying for them, sharing the truth with them? Or, have you given them up as a lost cause? You can't save them, but God can use your love and life and words and prayers to move them.
What enemies do you have who are without Christ? Do you love Christ enough to desire their salvation? Do you recognize the transformation God can make in them? Will you let Christ love them through you? Will you pray for them? Will you share your faith with them?


Romans 9:4b-5a
What about you? What advantage has God given you? A spiritual heritage? Good Bible teaching in your Church?
How are you using the advantages you have? Or are you squandering them? Are you apathetic toward Christianity, like many in our country? Are you a Christian by name only, or does your life reflect what you say you believe?

Romans 9:5b
What have you done with Christ? Have you merely paid homage to a good teacher, an upstanding citizen, or have you submitted to Christ Jesus, Lord and Master of all?
How is Christ's life in you making a difference in your world? Does anyone know the difference? I don't mean by the things you oppose or approve of or by your political stance. I mean, are you a changed person? Are you a disciple? If not, whose life are you really living?
Who have you shared the gospel with lately? Will you pray for someone you can share with? The greatest tragedy in life is to come to the end and face a Godless eternity.
