What Establishes You? (Ro 16)
If you had to finish this sentence, how would you do it?
My life is established by _______________________.
Not what is the right answer, or what would you like to be your answer, but what is your life actually established by? I love the verse in today’s reading (Romans 16) that says we’re to be established through the gospel. That’s what I want.
It’s the gospel that gives me my foundation.
It’s the gospel that shows me who I am.
It’s the gospel that teaches me how to live.
It’s the gospel that sets my priorities.
It’s the gospel that reveals my future.
It’s the gospel that shows me who I am.
It’s the gospel that teaches me how to live.
It’s the gospel that sets my priorities.
It’s the gospel that reveals my future.
How might it reorient our lives, how might our lives look different, if they were truly established – in every way – by the gospel?
I’m not sure, but it would be very cool to find out…
