Faith & Love: A One Year Bible Reading Plan - Part 2Sample
In Romans 2, Paul tries to explain to Jews and Gentiles who have become followers of Jesus that their lives have changed and that social status built upon race, affluence, and wisdom doesn’t count for anything when being a Christian.
We have the same call upon us, accepting the people who are part of our church or who come and attend our church so that they may experience the love of Christ.
In verse 7, Paul says that those who persist in doing good will attain eternal life. This is a reference to how Paul tries to explain that what you reap, you will sow… when we do good, we sow what is good. We need to work at not hardening our hearts towards others but rather sharing God’s love with the people around us, for then we make visible God’s love to others.
Christianity is a new way of living and a new way of seeing and treating people. It was what Jesus came to establish: a new kingdom. This kingdom of God is marked by service, gentleness, and love… May we become more aware of His love and presence in our lives so that we may share His love more effectively.
