Saturday Reflection

Posting from GraceFullBible today - Thoughts of St. Paul 

I think Romans 12 - 16 gives a basic handbook for the life as a disciple of Christ and living the Christian life. No one is perfect in this life except God, but in that these portions of scriptures give us a guide and direction in order to move forward in our lives with our brother, Jesus.

Hear these messages of St. Paul ...

• Be holy; 
• Be transformed by the renewal of the Spirit; 
• Don’t think of yourselves more highly than others; 
• We are one body with many members; 
• Let love be genuine – hate what is evil – hold fast to what is good; 
• Build the community; 
• If possible live peaceably with everyone; 
• Help your enemies in all their needs; 
• Over come evil with good. 
• Let every person be subject to the government God has given to us; 
• Owe nothing except love one another; 
• Love your neighbor as yourself; 
• Watch – salvation is near. 
• Be tolerant to others as they grow in their faith and calling to be a disciple; 
• We live to God for whether we live or die – we are God’s; 
• Don’t judge; 
• Freedom is not a license to give offense. (A lesson my nation needs to learn in civil discourse.)
• Remember Christ’s example; 
• Welcome one another; 
• Be full of goodness; 
• Exceed in doing good; 
• Join me in earnest prayer; 

The God of peace be with you all. Amen.
