Romans 1:1-15

Back to daily devo scripture blog. May God's truth transform and renew my soul. Let's go with Epistles. Gotta love that guy, Paul. A new man with a clear and passionate calling ("set apart for the gospel of God" (v 1)). In a sense we are all. Chosen to be God's hands and feet. May we proclaim grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. It's very encouraging to read Paul's enthusiasm in his letters. They are always of him wanting bold things for people. Wanting to jump in and fight alongside them, but always restricted by physical distances. What would it look like if the church body was constantly encouraging each other in that way? Then physical distances don't really seem that big. When do we ever want to impart spiritual gifts? Hardly. We just say everyone has different gifts, used in different ways. I think we should start imparting these gifts for others. Capabilities seem plausible. The impact could be greater than we could imagine. Excited to see how these letters can spur my life and the church body I know today.
