The Romans Road Recap Week 3
The Debtor of GOD'S Good News
Romans 1:8-15
We used to sing a song, "HE paid a debt HE did not owe; I owed a debt I could not pay, I needed someone to take my sins away. And now I sing a brand-new song, Amazing Grace all day long. CHRIST JESUS paid a debt that I could never pay."
That is the good news.
- Our obligation as a receiver and believer in the LORD JESUS CHRIST. (Romans 1:14)
- John 1:12, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name”
- Often, we CHRISTians give higher priority to things other than sharing the Good News of GOD.
- If we as believers don’t realize our obligation for sharing the Good News of GOD, then one of the two is probably true of us:
- We don’t understand the grace of GOD and our salvation
- Or we have never experienced the grace of GOD and accepted the Gospel message
- We as believers have different spiritual gifts which are to be used for building up the church and fulfilling our obligation of sharing the Good News of GOD. (Ephesians 4:15-16)
- What is a debtor? (Romans 1:8-15)
- Thankful for other followers of JESUS (Romans 1:8)
- Prayerful for other followers of JESUS (Romans 1:9-10)
- You understand the Good News of GOD’S Grace
- What’s the old hymn say?
“I love to tell the story, for those who know it best Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.”
-
- What is the good news?
- JESUS died for me.
- There is mutual encouragement between true believers – We edify; encourage and build one another up.
- Someone who shares the Good News of GOD
- Listen to the words of another verse of that old hymn again:
- “I love to tell the story Tis pleasant to repeat What seems each time I tell it more wonderfully sweet I love to tell the story for some have never heard the message of salvation from GOD’S own Holy Word.”
Does this describe you and your walk with JESUS?
Do you “love to tell the old old story“, That others might hear the Good News of GOD?
Or maybe you are the own who has never heard that old old story, oh I mean you have heard it but you’ve never listened to it never thought it applied to you.
Well, this morning the call from the Romans Road is for you to Admit to GOD you are a sinner, believe that JESUS is GOD’S SON and that HE died on the cross for your sins and that HE rose from the dead to overcome sin death and the grave for you.
