The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the
ROMANS King James Version, Bible.
Romans, Paul's greatest work, is placed first among his thirteen epistles in the New Testament. While the four Gospels present the words and works of Jesus Christ, Romans explores the significance of His sacrificial death. Using a question-and-answer format, Paul records the most systematic presentation of doctrine in the Bible. Romans is more than a book of theology; it is also a book of practical exhortation. The good news of Jesus Christ is more than facts to be believed; it is also a life to be lived--a life of righteousness befitting the person, "justified freely by [God's] grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (3:24).
Although some manuscripts omit "in Rome" in 1 :7, 15, the title Pros Romaious, "To the Romans," has been associated with the epistle almost from the beginning.
Day 18
The love of God has been poured out in our hearts
by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 5:5
I love the taste of fresh, homegrown tomatoes. This hearty plant does best when its roots grow deep into the soil so it can tap subsoil moisture during the dry, hot days of summer. I've found that if I water my tomatoe plants in a normal fashion, the roots tend to grow near the top of the ground, rather than at a deeper, healthier depth.
To solve my "shallow root" problem, I use a rather unconventional method to water my tomatoes. Here's what I do: First, I throughly clean an empty 2-liter plastic bottle or milk jug. I polk several holes in the sides and bottom of the bottle and bury it (up to the neck of the bottle) beside my tomato plant. Everyday, when I water the garden, I fill the buried container with water. Droplets slowly seep through the holes all day long, keeping the roots deeply hydrated. The constant, steady watering seems to produce a much healthier tomato plant.
Constant, steady watering...hmm, maybe there's a lesson that all of us can learn. Could there be a way for the Holy Spirit to constantly refresh us all through our day? Consider:
--Reading our Bible during breakfast
--Hearing Christian stations programmed into your car's radio
--Glancing at an inspiritional calendar or notes on your desk at work
--Persuing a pocket-sized Bible in your purse
--Placing "sticly dots" on your computer and elsewhere as a reminder to invite the Holy Spirit's help and peace
--Listening to Christian music CDs as you commute/or exercise
--Meditating on the text of a Bible or prayer book on your nightstand
Prayer suggestion. What can you do to keep a continual, steady stream of God's Word working in your life through the Holy Spirit? Ask your Lord's help in adapting new "watering methods" in your life today. </145494> http:lindagjehoich.blogspot.com,http://a1itsinthebag.blogspot.com,http://www.orble.com/Winning
