11.7.2009 - Roman 1: 8-17

This is the introduction to Paul talking to Romans and it's so blessing as he introduce himself to the romans and talks about how much he wants to be there and preach the word of God there. First few verses just talks about Thanking God.

I think this is one of the most underrated thing that Christians do and that is to thank God for every little thing that happen to us. We don't deserve anything and God gives us so much... We need to thank God for everything and specially for being able to serve God and being able to worship him.

another thing was that he has been praying for all the romans. I think one of the thing that current generation of Christian lack is praying for each other. We are all fighting the same battle and we need to really be on the same side. we gotta be here for each other and Paul just gives us such an excellent example of what we should be doing to each other!

lastly... we need to stop being ashamed of God. Sometimes we forget about how awesome and wonderful God is.. and be ashamed of him. that meaning having time to share God we choose not to because of how we are gonna be judged by other people.

As they end these verses "The righteous will live by faith"
