Romans 1, 1-6
"1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) 3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:"
On this Thanksgiving day, we have many things and blessings for which we are thankful. Paul in this first chapter of the book of Romans, reminds us of our most precious blessing, that we are called to be of Christ. Importantly, as part of the calling to be of Christ, we are to be obedient to the faith. This obedience to the faith includes spreading the gospel among the nations. We are thankful for this privilege, and pray that through our obedience, we will honor God.
