Romans: The Power & Glory of the Gospel (Part 25)Romans 12:14-21// It can be easy to hear phrases like “bless those who persecute you” and pass over them without a second thought, especially if you grew up in the church or know the Bible well. But as our cultural moment actively disciples us towards towards other ethics - to hit back harder when hit, to find strength in pride and harshness, and to use ends to justify unrighteous means - Christians must re-discover the shocking truth behind the commands to bless those who persecute you, repay no one evil for evil, and to love our enemies. We must not let “the peril of a familiar truth” obscure the radical nature in which Christ loves us and treats us, and how we have been raised in Him to do the same as those who are conformed to his image!
Our mission is to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ with our words and display the gospel of Jesus Christ with our lives to our neighbors and to the nations.
