​​Book of Romans Chapter One Continued:  vs.8-15.  ​
The Gospel Is A Very Personal Matter. Sometimes we are reluctant to do God's will. We find it inconvenient .  We are too busy. We feel uncomfortable. At such times we are tempted to ignore God and hope He goes away. When he doesn't, we may even try to justify our reluctance with our own sense of insecurity or even our sense of inferiority. Possibly, you feel that God may be calling you to do the impossible.


The gospel of Christ is God's means to provide personal assurance that encourages believers to follow Christ as did the apostle Paul.

Whom ever God calls to ministry... they will realize within their heart the sense of divine presence and power and purpose.

Any other consideration is certain to abandon us to the wasteland of uselessness. God's Calling Is Without Repentance.
