THE EPISTLES OF PAUL · Day 18 of 21

The Cloud of Witnesses

Today's reading

Romans 8:31-39

Reflection

Apostolic theology explores 'The Cloud of Witnesses' in depth, tying it straight to the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. In the Pauline epistles we are taught to live not according to the flesh, but according to the sovereignty and the freedom of the Spirit of God. This lesson calls us to put on the armour of God and to walk in love, keeping the unity of the body of Christ in the early church and in ours.

Applying it today

Practise real charity and patience with your family or your co-workers today, reflecting the grace you received freely.

Prayer

Father of Grace and Mercy, teach me to grasp the depth of Christ's sacrifice. Let me walk in newness of life, led by the sovereignty of the Spirit. Amen.
