Set Apart by Promise


Romans 1:1-7   
1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God 2 which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, 3 concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. 5 Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, 6 among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ; 7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The good news of Jesus Christ was promised long before He came as a man to die and rise again, proving to us He is the Son of God.  He gave us proof both in the human bloodline and the works only God can do.  So we receive grace, forgiveness, and deliverance from sin and God's anger on us for it.   As His called ones, we are all called saints, holy or set apart ones, that we may be holy in His eyes and be changed day by day to reflect that holiness.  We now have peace with God by His grace alone!
