WHAT ARE YOUR CREDENTIALS?
"Paul, a SERVANT of Christ Jesus, CALLED to be an apostle and SET APART for the gospel of God." (Romans 1:1,NIV) It is only recently that God gave me the opportunity to see this scripture in a different light. And it struck me to take a second look at my life in the Lord. Consider the New Living Translation of this text: "This letter is from Paul, a SLAVE of Jesus Christ, CHOSEN by God to be an apostle and SENT OUT to preach His Good News." This was the first time Paul was writing to the Romans and it was prudent that he introduced himself. Paul's credentials showed he was completely committed to Jesus Christ. What do you stand for that serve as your credentials? Are you a SLAVE or SERVANT of Jesus Christ? Have you been CHOSEN or CALLED to be an apostle? Have been SET APART or SENT OUT to preach the gospel? "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15, NIV) EN@TWD
