Romans 9:1-5

LIFE IS BETTER WITH JESUS is a fundamental truth for the Church.

But, what do we do, how do we process, what does it mean for the world as well as our family and friends who do not embrace the fundamental truth that LIFE IS BETTER WITH JESUS?

The Apostle Paul shows us in Romans 9:1-5:

1) Realize faith in Christ is above our pay-grade but we are on the payroll!
2) Intercession: compassion not compulsion.
3) Witness: Word, Deed, Motive, Consistency.
4) Trust in the compassion, patience, persistence, and plan of the LORD.

The Apostle Paul says he wishes he could take the place of those who have not chosen Jesus. For him to be the one cut off from abundant life. But, he knows, and we know, that is impossible. Except...that is exactly what Jesus did. He took out place. He not only did for us what we could not do for ourselves, but he did for our loved one, and indeed the world, what we cannot do for ourselves. He can be trusted to save a life!
