If you’ve been transformed, there is a 365 24-hour a day awareness of the fact that you belong to him and you’re in the family. When we become a hearer of the word and a doer of the word, we will not even have to preach Christ. We will display Christ and people will say to us, “Okay, what’s with you?” God is saying, “Come and walk with me and let your neighbors and your unbelieving friends see how you’re walking with me.
” And when they ask you, “What in the world is this hope you have? You’re different.” Tell them, “Follow me as I follow him because he can be experienced.” All right, brothers and sisters in Jesus. Not an easy message. Not one that’s going to make you all that comfortable.
You might want to turn off right now or you might want to sit down and get into this because it will be true. But can we handle it? God is calling us. Listen, God is calling you and I to the end of our neighborhood, our street. If God called the Apostle Paul to the ends of the earth, and he did that, we live in the 21st century now, and we have scarcely taken the gospel to the end of our street. I think we need to step it up.
We’re running out of time, and I need to repent and make sure that every one of my neighbors hears the truth. I think we need to do this together. So, if you can handle it, let’s get into this Bible study. We’re back in Romans. We’re looking at the message, picking it up where we left off last time. One family, one and all.
that we are the family of God and what does that mean and how should we act and so this morning it’s going to kind of be like a like a parental maybe uh family talk from the word of God. I believe that God will be speaking to us from his Bible and uh really challenging us uh that now’s the time for us to truly be living breathing children of the most high God and and all that that means one family one and all. Romans 15. I’ll begin verse 14.
