Daily Bible Reading – April 2023 God’s Saving Word: HopeSample
April 21
Introduction
Chapter 15 ushers in the conclusion of Paul’s letter to the Romans. He encourages the followers not to please themselves but to act in ways that edify the community of believers. He explains that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles.
Scripture Reading
Romans 15:1-13
Today’s Key Verse: Romans 15:13
May God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace by means of your faith in him, so that your hope will continue to grow by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Reflect
What words of encouragement does Paul give the believers in Rome? Why is building up one another in faith important to Paul? In what ways does your community of faith build up one another? What words of encouragement and hope can you bring to someone today?
Pray
God of hope and love, teach me day by day what is written in the Scriptures. Grant me patience to study your Word, and fill me with joy and peace so that, by the power of your Holy Spirit, I continue to grow in faith. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Romans 15:14-33: The apostle Paul gives his reasons for writing a bold letter to the Romans.
