First things first
After Paul's opening paragraph introducing the letter to his audience - Paul begins addressing "first" things "first". It is interesting to see what exactly Paul (inspired by God) does first in this letter to the Romans. First and foremost, Paul "thanks God through Jesus Christ for them ALL". Do we begin by giving God thanks first? Many believers have mastered the art of saying "please", yet struggle with two simple words: "thank you". Do we give thanks in all things, for all things, for ALL people? Paul was thankful for the Romans - thankful especially for the fact that "their faith was spoken of throughout the whole world". Not only did the Romans have a fervent faith - but they had a faith that the whole world took notice of. Does the world around us speak of our faith? Do they take notice of our incredible love and passion for our Savior?
