Christian Action, 19of39


~ Endure Troubles With Grace ~

Series Note  ~  In just the single chapter of Romans 12 the Apostle Paul gave believers a list of 39 things which are part of the Christian life which pleases God.  This chapter is crying out saying, “If you name Jesus Christ as your Savior then please act like a Christian!  It is Paul’s “To Do List” for us.  The key principle is that while you and I cannot change God’s character (who He really is) we have the clear potential to damage His reputation (what others think He is). 

Scripture to Meditate On  ~  “Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation” (Romans 12:10-12b).

Comment  ~  Grace is receiving something good which you did not deserve.  (Mercy is not receiving something bad which you did deserve.)

Related Passages  ~  “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).  Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one” (Colossians 4:6).  “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord” (Colossians 3:16-17).
