In the opening words of Romans 1:1-7, Paul reminds us of who we are and what we have been called to do. So, to start the new year off right, let’s remember that the key to opening the door is to know who we are and act that way. We are called to be different and our job is to be messengers. Jesus is human but He is also the Son of God. He came to seek and save the lost. His resurrection was proof of His holiness. Well, God has also called upon you for a job. We are called to be saints and to do good works because we are saved so that others can know Christ. Paul says that we receive the gifts of grace and peace from God through Jesus Christ. Making disciples is also one of our jobs as Christians. It may not always be easy and we may not always know if we have succeeded, but it’s important to remember who we are. Start your year on the right foot and help open the door for others to find the glorious experience of knowing Jesus Christ.
