Today, Bishop Rodgers teaches from Romans 5:1-5 on the topic "the Circle of Hope." Apostle Paul's purpose was to assure his readers that justification is a lasting thing. God has declared us righteous in Jesus Christ. This belief gives us (believers) 5 keys promises: (1) Peace with God; (2) Access with God; (3) Glorious Hope; (4) Christian Character; and (5) God's Love Within. As this year ends, we as believers need to rededicate our lives back to God. This means knowing God is using life's difficulties and satan's attacks to build our character. Knowing this, keeps us from being angry at God or taking God for granted. Also, understanding the Holy Spirit grows and matures us in the love of God, increasing our understanding of what God has done and is doing for us. If we can maintain our love for Christ and see His work through all our difficulties, the results is increased faith, hope and love. As you listen this this message, reflect on your relationship with Christ. If your relationship is off, it is a great day to get reconnected. Have a bless and safe week!
