I have recently been group studying the book of Romans with two incredible women of the word, and the subject of faith has been so enlightening. It’s known that Paul wrote Romans as a letter to the believers in Rome whilst he was in Corinth. He introduced them to the absolute truth about the righteousness of God. We have learnt that God’s righteousness gives us the power to live by faith. I will not spoil it if you are not overly familiar with the book. I pray that you will be encouraged to read this incredible book for yourself by the end of this message.
I have been intrigued by the number of people in the Bible who God mightily used, and yet, there was no demand on them to change before He used them. People were picked from their miry clay and set on higher grounds for His purpose; nonetheless, their characters remained the same. God created us and endowed us with our personalities and feelings, which defines who we are as His children. This made me wonder, if God is willing to use us despite our characters and behaviours, then what does He really want from us? What does God want from a relationship with His children?
