25. Romans 2:7, 10
Calvary Chapel Elk Grove
Pastor Phil Ballmaier
8-9-23
Tonight Pastor Phil continues in Chapter 2 of Romans and describes what a true believer looks like.
A true believer is known by their fruit. It's the result of a transformed life with God, not a requirement (or list of good deeds) to spend eternity with Him. A believer who understands that we are just sojourners, or pilgrims here, and whose focus is not on the temporary, but the eternal has the correct mindset.
One day we all want to hear, "Well done, My good and faithful servant." This response from The Lord will not come because of our good deeds, but because of the grace and mercy we received from Jesus and the finished work at the Cross.
Paul chose Rome for a reason when he went out to preach. Firstly, because God had sent him, but because Rome was a central 'point of the world' as 'all roads lead to Rome'. So if he shared the Gospel there, whomever received it would carry God's Word, and the testimonies of Paul and the work they'd seen done out into the four corners of the world.
Often referred to as the Gospel according to Paul, and the greatest book ever written, Paul's letter to the Romans will become our focus as Pastor Phil continues to lead us through the Word of God.
Calvary Chapel Elk Grove is a non-denominational fellowship located in Roselle, a northwest suburb of Chicago in Illinois.
