All that God has granted us in Christ Jesus affords us lives that glorify Him as we live out what He has given us.

Humility is key if we seek God's kingdom in our lives. Humility enables us to ask, seek, and knock for God's reign through Christ within us. (Matt 7:7-8)

God is the backdrop of every text in scripture.

...pray in the Spirit, on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests . . . always keep on praying for all the saints (Eph 6:18). Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ (Gal 6:2).

Romans reveals the power and purpose of the gospel message to bring the righteousness of God to reign in our lives, save our souls, and equip us to serve God.

What God has given us, we can share. Our confidence is in the One we trust!

God's promises are powerful in our lives, and so, in Christ, we speak the Amen, to the glory of God, who gave them!

God is the God of endurance and encouragement. His gospel call to us is to be beneficiaries and representatives of Him, in His Son (Rom 15).

God gives endurance, encouragement, hope, joy, and peace, through the gospel, to those who believe it.

(Rom 15:1-13)

God opposes the arrogant, but He graces the humble. One of the most powerful and blessing filled results of the gospel is the humility it produces in us.

(Rom 1:16; 12:3; 1 Pet 5:5-6)
