When it comes to God’s word, humanity has a tendency to separate hearing and doing - even though God intended them to stay directly and naturally connected. Listening to God’s word without action will always end in self-deception.
The Anatomy of Temptation
Eternal Rewards
That They May Be Saved
In Romans chapter 10 we encounter the words of a heartbroken apostle who longs to see his kinsmen come to faith in Christ. Here we are reminded of the good news of the gospel, that we don’t have to break the cosmos to bring ourselves to God – through the finished work of Jesus, He has already brought us near. Furthermore, God calls us to participate in His plan of redemption by boldly preaching this good news, that others may come to share in the mercies of Christ.
Eternity With God
Always With The Lord
Though there is much debate concerning the timing of the rapture, Paul’s purpose in this passage is less concerned with when it will take place but far more concerned that his words be comforting & assuring to a grief stricken church. Though we will experience immense grief and pain with the loss of a loved one, our grief is anchored in the beautiful reminder that upon his return, Jesus will gather all of his children with him – we will live forever with Jesus and those we’ve lost in the Lord.
