Paul’s ambition should be ours. Do we have zeal to see the gospel preached to those who haven’t heard? Christ wants us to crucify our old ambitions and have them replaced with Christ’s. Christ came to seek and to save them which are lost. What’s your ambition?

Where’s the passion with which you began? Have you lost your first love? Fan into flames your spiritual zeal. Encourage yourself in the Lord. Don’t let serving others be a burdensome duty. Let it be your passionate worship!

Call on Jesus. Confess Him as Lord over every aspect of your life. Believe in His sacrificial death and resurrection. And be saved. Saved from the bondage of sin and the wages of sin, which is death. He has been calling you. Have you called back?

God has spent His wrath for our sin upon Christ. When God judged the earth with a flood, those “in” the Ark were saved. Jesus is our Ark! All who are “in” Him will not see condemnation. Do you know what it means to be “in” Christ?

Of Abraham’s faith. Are you fully persuaded that God can/will do what He promised? First, we must know His promises (hear/read/study), then we must believe that God will keep them. What promise(s) are you trusting God for today?

Paul did not hide nor withhold the gospel, even though it was the preaching of the gospel that had him in chains. Instead he used his chains as a platform to preach to Rome. He knew a freedom the world could not subdue.

Pastor Gary Combs begins a new message series on Easter Sunday entitled, “NOVUS.” The word “novus” is Latin for “new.” Over the next four Sundays this series will show how the resurrection of Christ makes everything new. This first message is from Romans 6 where the apostle Paul talks about our “new life” in Christ.
