Where the Rubber Meets the Road

The Power to Live for God

By Dr. J. Vernon McGee

Before me is a letter that tells the story of failure in the Christian life. The man writes, “I’m living in Romans 7 and can’t find the way out. I have the way, but can’t get to Romans 8. I am fighting a losing battle, seemingly singlehanded.”

Romans 8 delivers us. The purpose of the gospel of Jesus Christ is to lift our shackles so that all might come to the place of salvation, and also to give power to those who want to live for God.

Romans 8 is one of the great chapters of the Bible. Theologians have called it “the Mount Whitney of Scripture.” It opens with “no condemnation,” closes with “no separation,” and in between “all things work together for good to those who love God.” Now, friend, you cannot have it any better than that.

Field Notes: Taking the Word to the World

One Person at a Time

Every week on the World Prayer Team, we intercede for those far from God in every country of the world. But, surprisingly, what happens when they hear the Bible taught is many respond in faith.

… Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. -Romans 10:17

We pray for the spiritually persecuted. A respected businessman in Iraq discovers new life in Christ, but his family despises his choice to follow Jesus. They not only refuse to say his name again, but they seek his life. “But please don’t worry,” he whispers to us. “Now that I know Jesus is the only Savior, my life is safe in His. I will not stray. Please pray for my family.”
