Tuesday Reading: Romans 10 18-21
 
Key Verse: Romans 10 20
20  But Isaiah is very bold and says, "I was found by those who did not seek Me, I became known to those who did not ask after Me."

 

Devotion:
Faith comes by hearing and the only way that is going to happen is if people go out and take the gospel with them. This is a bit of a sore point with the Jews because they (generalising) did not believe that Jesus is the Messiah and would not take out the word to others. That is why Christ called upon His disciples to go forward into the gentiles to give them the truth. Indeed His word were to go out into all nations and preach the word.

 

It is little wonder then that some Jews do get upset with what has happened. They indeed are the chosen race, chosen by God; but they are amongst those that have rejected Him.

 

God continues to show His extraordinary grace and patience to all of us. Christ went to the cross to pay for our sin debt, but He continues to see people rejecting Him all around. People from all around the world have now come to know Christ as Saviour, but so many more still refuse to believe the simple truth. Man's disobedience seems to grow year after year with more people leading more sinful lives; but Christ continues to show His love to each and every one of us so that we can have that chance of getting to know Him.

 

Nothing we can do will ever overcome that patience that He has. Nothing will ever provoke Him. We continue to have the choice of believing in Him so that we can be saved from our own demise. We will always continue to wonder at God's grace when we continue to see man's evil ways taking over. It is only the fact that someone refuses to believe that will keep them from God's grace!

 

Points to Ponder:
Do you wonder if you have been too bad?

 

God grace is perfect and covers all of our sins!
