Today's Text: Romans 11:25-36
Memory Verse: Romans 11:32
My dear reader, today's message is somehow logical. Apostle Paul's epistle to the Christians in Rome was a message to admonished them not to abuse opportunity of the grace they had.
Romans 11:25 states that "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in."
Actually, God chose Israel to be his beloved Nation, not because of her righteousness but because of the covenant made with Abraham. But God's covenant of Salvation for mankind is established through Jesus Christ.
Ordinarily, only the Israelites are supposed to be known and called God's people (Romans 9:4-5). But many Israelites betrayed God's confidence in them (John 1:10-13). Therefore, the gift was extended to the Gentiles (Romans 9:24-26).
In the same manner, God has called us into Celestial Church of Christ, many of whom were nobody, to enjoy the abundant grace in the fold. (CCC Hymn 205 Verse 2).
I am writing this message to you in the holy fold, the elders, youths and every other stakeholders, please do not abuse the gift of God (this Church). Many Church came before this great Church but probably they failed to fulfill their purpose of establishment therefore. Therefore, God introduced Celestial Church of Christ.
Finally on today's message, the Christians in Rome were benefiting from God's mercy, and Paul wrote an epistle to them not to forget who they were before. He admonished them to be steadfast in the grace of God.
Likewise, my dear reader, I am charging you therefore not to abuse the grace given to us, because having the grace is a privilege and not a right.
Thank you for your time. Stay Blessed. Evangelist Oloyede Raphael.
