Romans
15:23-33
23
But now that there is no more place for me to work
In
these Regions,
And
since I have been longing for many years to see you,
20
I plan to do so when I go to Spain.
I
hope to visit you while passing through
And
to have you assist me on my Journey there,
After
I have enjoyed your company for a while.
25
Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem
In
Service of the Saints there.
26
For Macedonia and Achaia
Were
please to make a Contribution for the poor
Among
the Saints in Jerusalem.
27
They were pleased to do it,
And
indeed they owe it to them.
For
if the Gentiles have shared
In
the Jew's spiritual Blessings,
They
owe it to the Jews to share with them
Their
material Blessings.
28
So after I have completed this Task
And
have made sure that they have received this Fruit,
I
will go to Spain and visit you on the way.
29
I know that when I come to you,
I
WILL COME IN THE FULL MEASURE
OF
THE BLESSING OF CHRIST.
30
I Urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ
And
by the love of the Spirit,
TO
JOIN ME IN MY STRUGGLE
BY
PRAYING FOR ME.
31
PRAY THAT I MAY BE RESCUED
From
the Unbelievers in Judea
And
that my service in Jerusalem
May
be acceptable to the Saints there,
32
So that by God's Will I may come to you
With
Joy and together with you be Refreshed.
33
The God of Peace be with you all Amen.
(Romans
15:23-33)
Paul
wanted to come to the Romans
In
the Full Measure of the Blessing of Christ.
So
should every gathering of the Saints be.
He
acknowledged that his ministry was a Struggle,
And
that he needed to be Rescued from Unbelievers.
So
today America needs to be resuced from Unbelievers
And
we, as Christians,
Need
to be rescued from Unbeleivers.
Today,
we, as Christians,
Are
Stuggling to save America from Unbeleivers.
Maintaining
Faith, in the midst of Unbelief,
In
the midst of the Devil's kingdom,
Is
always a Struggle.
