Scripture - Romans 1:1,7 Paul refers to himself in verse 1 as a servant of Christ Jesus and a called apostle. Then in verse 7 he refers to the epople in Rome to whom he is writing, as called to be saints. He is writing here not only to the Christians in Rome, but also to all believers. To become born again and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, has plenty of advantiges for the believer, but with this comes a responsibility as well. But this responsibility does not come forced, but rather from a thankfull heart and a deep love for our Saviour. Our responsibility is to live and speak the gospel. Through our way of life we proclaim the gospel. Our excitement about being saved usualy affects others and they want what we have, because they see joy, peace, sincerity, honesty, openess, etc. in our daily lives. If we live in a way that proclaims our love for our Saviour, and the thankfullness of our hearts, then we will be living as called saints, proclaiming the gospel of Jesus. We will not only proclaim with mere words, but with a lifestyle that confirm our salvation. May your life speak of a saving grace. It is not always easy, but as long as you stand up when you fall. Do not stay down and defeated, stand up, accept forgiveness, and move forward in the strength of our Saviour. Blessings
