accountability. To find out how you can be involved in one of these

Jesus is the Object of Our Love Monday
John 21:15-19 Epistle Project: Romans 10:5-21

The gospel is profound, and we can and will spend

our lives knowing more fully the wonders of the cross.
However, the gospel is simple too. Romans 10:9 says
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and
believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
you will be saved.” When a person can see their own
need to have their sin forgiven, read about what Jesus
did on the cross and know that it is true, believe in his
resurrection, and submit their lives to him as their Lord,
they can be saved. It’s that simple. The thing which
keeps a person from being saved is not difficulty in
understanding, but difficulty in believing and submitting.
But once we have believed and submitted our lives to
Jesus and his simple gospel, we will spend our lives diving
deeper into the riches of his profound and unfathomable
gospel.

Tuesday
Epistle Project: Romans 11:1-10

In Matthew’s gospel, we read about the angel who

appeared to Joseph and told him what to name his son
(1:21). Not only does the angel say what to name Jesus,
but he also says why; “…for he will save his people from
their sins.” In our text for today, we see the phrase “his
people” repeated. As we walk through life, we no doubt
have experienced people walking away from or outright
rejecting Christ. This can leave us in a similar state that
Elijah found himself in, but don’t miss what this passage
has to teach us; the repeated theme that God, through
Christ, will save all of His people from their sins. Find
confidence in your faithful God who “has not rejected his
people whom he foreknew.”
 Wednesday
Epistle Project: Romans 11:11-24
In this passage Paul refers to the Jews by saying things like,
“their trespass,” “their failure,” and “their rejection.” Ultimately,
Paul is stating that Israel has rejected Christ and has failed to
acknowledge Him as their Messiah. The Jews despised the
Gentiles and God offers salvation, to the Gentiles, to draw
the nation of Israel back to Him. Paul proclaims this “in order
somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save
some of them.” Today we should desire the same thing as the
Apostle Paul and pray that all nations would be saved.
Thursday
Epistle Project: Romans 11:25-36
Sometimes, the only appropriate response is to sit back in
wide-eyed wonder. We ought to have times when we are
taken aback by the character of God — just blown away by
who he is and by what he’s done. Paul get’s to the end of 11
chapters of rich gospel-doctrine in his letter to the Romans,
and it’s as if he just sits back, sets down the pen for a mo-
ment, and has a total mental reset. If we don’t have mo-
ments like this in our lives, we’re not thinking enough about
the character and the plan of God. Listen as Paul writes,
“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of
God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscru-
table his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord,
or who has been his counselor? Or who has given a gift to
him that he might be repaid? For from him and through him
and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.”
May we all meditate on the character and plan of God until
we are driven to complete awe.
Friday
Epistle Project: Romans 12:1-2
What comes in to your mind when you hear the term
“worship?” For most, it is likely music. It is not uncommon to
hear someone say that they enjoyed the worship at church, but
had a difficult time following the sermon. A statement like this
comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of what worship
actually is. While music is certainly a wonderful part of our
worship, it is not the only part. Notice in the passage for today
what Paul says worship is: “…to present your bodies as a living
sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual
worship.” Worship is not one activity, but is the entirety of our
lives aimed at God. Praise God, Christians have the opportunity
to worship in everything we do!
Saturday
Epistle Project: Romans 12:3-8
God has granted gifts of grace, to His children, “each
according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.”
Also, we are not to think of ourselves “more highly” than
we should, “but to think with sober judgment,” regarding
our gifts. Paul is calling each believer to access themselves
realistically. As believers we “are one body in Christ, and
individually members of one another.” Gifts differ and we
are to use them accordingly for the building up of the body
of Christ (Eph. 4:12). Pray and thank the Lord for the gifts
that He has given you. Ask Him to use you and your gifts to
build up the body of Christ for His glory.
