Thought

As Paul spent time in Corinth, the Jewish leaders grew angry and brought him before the Roman governor Gallio. But Gallio didn’t care about their religious quarrel, and Paul was given freedom to teach about Jesus. As he traveled, he also wrote letters to different churches, addressing their spiritual needs and attempting to settle debates among the church members. Paul was a man of great wisdom, and God offers that same wisdom to anyone who will ask Him for it—including you!

Word

Romans 1:16 NIV

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

Question

Did you know that in the days of the early Christians, many believed Gentiles (or non-Jewish people) could not have a relationship with God?

Paul was one of the first to introduce Jesus to the Gentiles and invite them into the family of God.

Challenge

Have you gotten into an argument or debate with another Christian? Think of someone you may need to reach out to and make amends with. Pray and ask God for wisdom about how to deal with the situation.

Prayer

God, thank You for giving us wisdom to share Your gospel and teach others about You. Amen.
