Paul talks about a redemptive jealousy that ends in the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. While we should never be jealous of those around us, we should strive to make them long for what we have – saving grace.

God has blessed us immeasurably. But if we don’t become disciples of Jesus and set our hearts to honor him, then these very blessings will become curses. If we misuse what God has given us, it becomes harmful to us. God is looking for much more than outward rituals. He wants our hearts.

Two things should characterize a Christian more than anything else. One is a deep sense of our unworthiness and sin. The other is an even deeper sense of the grace of God. The Bible calls us dead in sin – it doesn’t get much worse than that. But by the grace given through Jesus Christ, he makes us alive to follow him.

It’s tempting to think that nobody cares about God. It’s especially true when we see other Christians adapting the ways of our culture. When God’s work gets hard, it’s tempting to think we’re the only one who honors Him. But this is based on our limited vision, not on truth from Scripture. Paul argues in Romans that we are not alone.

God has promised to be faithful to us. But it seems as though God rejected the Israelites. If he rejected them, how can we trust him to keep his promises to us? Paul argues that we can completely trust God because he has, indeed, kept all of his promises to his people.

Do you think about the many people who have never heard the gospel? People who don’t have a Bible in their own language? Are they still punished, though no one has taken the Good News to them? People asked the Apostle Paul the same questions centuries ago. Let’s look together at his response.

The Word of God is able to melt the toughest hearts and reach the most unlikely people. Even savage headhunters don’t stand a chance. It’s because the Word of God is the power to salvation. But in order for people to believe in God, someone needs to tell. Those who follow Christ are called to tell others about the Good News.

Sometimes knowing in advance that we will fail is actually quite encouraging. That’s the case in Romans where Paul acknowledges that not everyone he has shared the gospel with has followed Christ. How is this encouraging for us as we witness to those around us?
