The Church and Her Enemies: Part One
We’ve quickly arrived at the last two weeks of our series of messages on Romans 12. This Lord’s Day we will give consideration to verses 14, 17 and 19 which set forth one of the most significant signs of a mind that has transformed and renewed by the grace and mercy of God. This beautiful and Christ-like mark of distinction can be summarized as the virtue of non-retaliation in personal relationships.
With verse 14, the Apostle Paul moves from a discussion of brotherly love within the Church (vv. 9-13) to the subject of the Church’s relationship with her enemies.
And what is written here is as remarkable as it is fully inspired by God!
This Lord’s Day we will begin to probe what it means to “ bless” our persecutors and those who are the enemies of the Gospel.
I hope you will join me in prayer as we come before our Father in worship and in the study of His Holy Word on Sunday.
