DAY 313
8-13-10
ROMANS 11-13
Good Morning!
Paul was desperately trying to get his fellow Jews to accept the Savior God sent to them. Have you ever felt the way he does about your friends and family who refuse Jesus and eternal life? In desperation and frustration Paul wants to make them angry and jealous by converting the Gentiles to Christ.
“…the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them.” (Rom 11:14)
We can learn from Paul in this regard. We should make Christianity so attractive; show so much love; be so happy; and be so strong and positive; that others will be envious of our wonderful life in Christ. We will never make Christianity attractive by grumpiness; bad attitudes; and worldly living.
If my faith makes others envious of the grace I have received and the blessings God has giving me, GREAT! I hope it will spur them on to faith in Christ.
