DAILY DEVOTIONAL READING

Tue. 1/3/2022                     Ingratitude Is A Sin

Romans 1:8-14

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 

9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, 

10 making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you. 

11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established— 

12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

13 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles. 

14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.

EXPOSITION

One of the first things Paul conveys in almost every letter he wrote is to thank God for the believers. We live in a world full of unthankful people. We even allow ourselves to become influenced by this thankless attitude and forget that God knows of it. This is why He often reminds us in the Bible to give thanks.

We thank God for things we receive from Him (our salvation inclusive) because we know only God can give us good things. Have you ever thanked God for your brothers and sisters and for other believers? Paul heard about the believers in Rome because their faith was being spoken about in the whole world. Paul desires to meet with these Christians so that he can encourage them with his gift of faith and be encouraged by theirs.
