Scripture: Romans 1:1
In this opening verse of the book of Romans, Paul introduces himself as a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God. Paul’s encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus transformed him from a persecutor of Christians to a passionate follower of Christ. Similarly, each of us is called to be set apart for the gospel of God. Our encounter with Christ marks the beginning of a journey of faith, where we are transformed by His love and grace.
Just as Paul was called to serve and proclaim the gospel, we too are called to live out our faith in obedience to Christ. This means being intentional about seeking encounters with Christ in our daily lives through prayer, Scripture reading, and fellowship with other believers. As we journey with Christ, may we be open to His leading and empowered by His Spirit to boldly proclaim the gospel to those around us.
As we reflect on Paul’s calling as a servant of Christ Jesus, may we be inspired to live out our own calling with dedication and passion. Let us embrace each day as an opportunity to encounter Christ afresh and to be transformed by His love and grace. May our lives be a testament to the power of encountering Christ in the journey of faith.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the privilege of encountering Your Son, Jesus Christ, in our lives. As we embark on this journey of faith, help us to be open to Your leading and obedient to Your call. May our hearts be transformed by Your love and our lives be a reflection of Your grace. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
