WORD OF GRACE Part 1: Paul | Text: Romans 1:1, 2

Servant • Called • Separated Romans 1:1 Paul’s identity was that he was a _________________of Jesus Christ. Matthew 20:6, 7 Exodus 21:5, 6 Numbers 12:7 Psalm 35:27 Psalm 89:20 Psalm 105:26 Psalm 119:140 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 2 Corinthians 4:5 Exodus 21:5, 6 (NLT) "But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' (6) If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever." 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 (NKJV) Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? (20) For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. John 15:13-15 My heart’s desire is to have the relationship with Christ that He desires to have with me. Jeremiah 29:11 John 17:4 | John 13:1 | Revelation 3:20 John 4:34 (NKJV) Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work." John 15:13-15 (NLT) And here is how to measure it--the greatest love is shown when people lay down their lives for their friends. (14) You are my friends if you obey me. (15) I no longer call you servants, because a master doesn't confide in his servants. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. Romans 1:1 We are ______________________to minister in Christ’s name with an office gift that will cause the Lord to be glorified. Isaiah 6:8, 9 | Jeremiah 1:4-10 | 2 Timothy 1:9 | 1 Corinthians 12:28 2 Timothy 1:9 (NLT) It is God who saved us and chose us to live a holy life. He did this not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan long before the world began--to show his love and kindness to us through Christ Jesus.

Romans 1:1, 2 The Lord has asked me to be willing to be _______________________ from the crowd, so I can go back into the crowd as one proclaiming the truth of the Gospel. • Conception: Galatians 1:15 | Psalm 139:15-18 • Conversion: Acts 9:15, 16 | Acts 26:15-18 | 1 Timothy 1:14-16 • Commission: Acts 13:2 | Acts 13:7, 9,13 | 1 Timothy 1:11, 12 1 Corinthians 9:1, 2 | 1 Corinthians 15:9, 10 The Gospel • Incarnation: John 1:1, 14 • Resurrection: 1 Corinthians 15:17-20 1 Corinthians 15:17-20 (NIV) And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. (18) Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. (19) If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. (20) But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
