Acorn Build Up: Grace III (12/17)

According to my records this is the 50th post to this blog! Praise God for His wisdom and guidance which determines these encouragements!

Grace III

Romans 1:14-16
I am a debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish; so I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome. For I am not ashamed of the gospel: It is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.

I'm borrowing heavily from a book by John Piper titled, Desiring God. Piper writes:

Apart from the special, saving grace of God, people are dead in sin, darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God and hardened in heart (Ephesians 2:1, 4:18). And the means God has ordained to administer that special saving grace is the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Saving grace is available to everyone through hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ. If we have an opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with someone, let us boldly share it.
