Romans chapter 6 verse 19, how God takes ordinary Christians and turns them into great servants of God! God pours in His grace into the life of service, knowing that man is but dust, in the infirmity and weakness of our frail human flesh. God is no stranger to grace! It was grace God poured into the life of His discouraged Elijah in the wilderness with the touch of an angel and it was grace God poured into the life of doubting Thomas revealing His nail pierced hands and spear pierced side. Beware of measuring your service in the scales of disappointment! In Romans chapter 6 verse 19 we have the 4 rules for Christian service: One Word of Grace at a time One Master at a time One decision at a time One step at a time.

In this bible teaching message, part of a systematic, evangelical and reformed expository series on the book of Romans, we find the heart beat of Christian service. This is not simply ticking the boxes of service but serving from the heart! Not only does Romans chapter 6 give us the challenge of service but encourages us in our service and above all provides us with the power to serve God through Jesus Christ. Bible teaching from Paul's letter to the Romans give by Dr J Stewart Gillespie.

The cross of the Lord Jesus divides between death and life! Presented to the sinner the cross holds the key to destiny and our response to the cross of Jesus determines heaven or hell. God is not interested in making us a better sinner, or making life a little better, feeding us on more of the same. By the power of the cross there is radical transformation, metamorphosis. Jesus carried dead men to the cross but emerges from the cross the head of a new creation, the last Adam bringing living men from the cross! Through His people Jesus is now glorified in them as we live for God by Him. Here is a life of absolute surrender for the glory of God.
