It’s all about the heart

In this powerful message, we are challenged to examine the depth of our love and concern for those who don't know Christ. The apostle Paul's anguish over his fellow Israelites, even to the point of being willing to sacrifice his own salvation for their sake, is a striking example of the heart we should have for the lost. We are reminded that having the right doctrine is not enough; we must allow that truth to fill our hearts with an unceasing, consuming desire to see others come to know Jesus. The convicting question is posed: do we have this kind of selfless love, even for those who may oppose or mistreat us? The call is clear - to let our lives be driven by gratitude for what Christ has done, compelling us to witness to others at every opportunity. In 6 characters? B1N141

Day 1: Understanding Paul's Heart

Main Passage: Romans 9:1-5

Reflection: The Apostle Paul shares his feelings about the people of Israel. He says he has great sorrow and unceasing anguish. This means he is very sad and his heart hurts because many of his people don't know Jesus. He wishes he could be cursed and cut off from Christ if it meant they could be saved. Paul's love for his people is so strong that he is willing to give up everything for them. This shows us how much he cares about others knowing Jesus.
