罗马书［第1章|Book of Romans 1【传这最大的好消息-福音！】
23/11/2021
引言 :
世界上每天新闻报道都充满许多不好的消息，让人容易绝望，但是感谢神，耶稣为我们的罪被钉十字架的福音永远都是全人类最大的好消息！进入罗马书第一章，神的话语要再次地带领我们来探讨福音，也提醒我们都要起来传扬福音这个最大的好消息！
一、应许的福音要传到万邦（V1-7）
今天我们同样要传承保罗所领受的这份托付，要继续把福音传到万国万邦去的。这里值得留意的是，传福音其实只是福音工作的一部分。我们要使人信服真道，我们就需要去牧养人的生命，把人牧养起来成为主的门徒。
二、基督徒所欠下的福音债（V8-15）
我们要有这个欠了福音债的观念，就是我们所能够接触的人，我们就有责任去对他们分享福音，去让人接受福音，并且让人要在福音里成长。
觉得自己不会传福音吗？我们其实可以用许多不同的方式来传福音（V福音册子，个人见证，福音视频等等），关键在于我们是否有愿意的心。只要我们愿意，神就会赐给我们好机会。
三、信福音被神称义的福气（V16-17）
纵然我们人过去犯下了多少的罪和错误，当我们来接受耶稣为我们的生命的主，相信耶稣被钉十字架就已经承担了我们所有的罪的时候，我们就被神称为义了。所以我们都不要以福音为耻，要放胆传福音。
四、不悔改接受福音的警戒（V18-32）
V18原来神的忿怒，从天上显明在一切不虔不义的人身上，就是那些行不义阻挡真理的人。
1. 推诿真神（V19-25）
推诿真神的人，明明能够看到宇宙万物的秩序和奇妙，但却推诿真神，而发展出自己的一套理念，就像无神论者，不可知论者他们的论调那样。这些自以为聪明的人当中，还有一些人是虽然相信有神，但却是把伟大的神树立为可见的偶像的。所以神就任凭这样的人去行一些淫乱的行为，以至于身体被玷污，当然保罗这里指的就是人的灵因此就被污秽了。拜偶像的人是一个灵里的淫乱，对神的不忠，所以也很容易带来一个肉体的淫乱。
2. 同性婚恋（V26-27）
经文这里提到，这样的人会违背他们被创造出来时那种异性相吸的自然律，而是会放纵情欲，进入到同性婚恋的问题里面。人却硬着心去违背这个律，所以保罗说，若是人不悔改，最终会在这样的妄为上得报应。
今天这个世代继续面对着同性婚恋，多元家庭的价值观的冲击，我们基督徒需要站对位，带着恨恶罪但是却爱罪人的心，帮助活着这种问题下的人走出来！
3.各种不义（V28-32）
让我们透过保罗在这里所列举出来的每一点去对照我们的生命，好让我们能够留心保守自己去远离这些的恶，就是各样不义，邪恶，贪婪，恶毒，嫉妒，凶杀，争竞，诡诈，毒恨，谗毁人，背后说人，怨恨神，侮慢人，狂傲，自夸，捏造恶事，违背父母，无知的，背约，无亲情的，不怜悯人的这些罪。
总结:使万民领受福音，活出福音
我们基督徒所领受到的福音是人类历史上最大的好消息。我们要看重这个这个福音，因为这个福音能救我们脱离罪恶和永远的沉沦，并且最终也会让我们回到天父永远的环抱里！所以我们要继续把这个好消息传到万国万邦去。尤其当我们成为基督徒后，我们领受了福音的好处，其实我们也是欠了福音的债的。
让我们也建造自己更深地去明白这个福音，除了对人讲明白信福音就能得着被神称义的福气以外，我们也要去牧养建造更多人的生命，让神的子民不单只领受福音，更是要活出福音，做神远离罪恶，分别为圣的子民！
Romans 1: Preach The Greatest Good News - The Gospel! GK611 Morning Devotion 23/11/2021 Speaker: Intern Pastor Moses Ou + Reverend David Tan
Introduction: The gospel is always the greatest good news for all mankind
The world is filled with many bad news stories every day that make it easy to despair, but thank God that the gospel of Jesus crucified for our sins will always be the greatest good news for all mankind! As we move into Romans 1, God's Word will again lead us to explore the gospel and remind us all to rise up and proclaim the greatest good news !
1.The Promised Gospel to be preached to all nations (V1-7) Today we are also to carry on this commission that Paul received, to continue to preach the gospel to all nations. It is worth noting here that evangelism is actually only part of the work of the gospel. If we want to convict people of the truth, we need to shepherd people's lives and shepherd them to become disciples of the Lord.
2.The Gospel Debt Owed by Christians (V8-15) We need to have this idea of being in debt to the gospel, that the people we can reach, we have a responsibility to them to share the gospel, to get people to accept the gospel, and to get people to grow in the gospel.
Do you think that you can't evangelize? There are many different ways we can evangelize (gospel booklet personal testimonies, videos, etc.), but the key is to have a willing heart. If we are willing, God will give us good opportunities.
3.The Blessing of Believing the Gospel and Being Justified by God (V16-17)
Even though we humans have committed many sins and mistakes in the past, we are justified by God when we come to accept Jesus as the Lord of our lives and believe that Jesus has taken on all our sins by being crucified. So let us all not be ashamed of the gospel, but let us be bold in preaching it.
4.The warning of unrepentant acceptance of the gospel (V18-32)
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
(1)Put The Blame on True God（V19-25）
Those who put the blame on the true God are able to see the order and wonder of everything in the universe, but they put the blame on the true God and develop their own set of ideas, just like atheists and agnostics do with their arguments. Among these people who think they are wise, there are those who believe in God, but establish the great God as a visible idol. Therefore, God allows such people to commit adulterous acts, so that the body is defiled, and Paul, of course, refers to the fact that the spirit of man is thus defiled. The idolater is a spiritual adulterer, unfaithful to God, and therefore easily brings about a physical adultery.
(2) Same-Sex Marriage (V26-27)
The scriptures mention here that such people will violate the natural law of opposites attracting each other, for which they were created, and will instead indulge in lust and enter into the problem of same-sex marriage. But man’s heart is hardened to disobey this law, so Paul says that if man does not repent, he will eventually receive his retribution.
Today's generation continues to face the impact of same-sex marriage and the values of polygamous family. We Christians need to stand in the right place and help those who are living with such problems to come out with a heart that hates the sin but loves the sinner!
(3)All Kinds of unrighteousness (V28-32)
Let us compare our lives with each of the points Paul lists here, so that we may be careful to keep ourselves from these evils, which are all kinds of unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful.
Conclusion: All nations may receive and live out the gospel
The gospel we Christians have received is the greatest good news in the history of mankind. We are to value this gospel because it will save us from our sins and eternal destruction, and it will ultimately bring us back to the eternal embrace of our Father in heaven as well! So we need to continue to spread this good news to all nations. Especially when we become Christians and we receive the benefits of the gospel, we are actually indebted to it.
Let us also build ourselves up to understand this gospel more deeply. In addition to teaching people that believing in the gospel leads to the blessing of being justified by God, let us also shepherd and build up the lives of more people, so that God's people will not only receive the gospel, but also live it, and be a people of God who are free from sin and set apart for holiness!
