Purchased, Called, Set Apart

Do you struggle with feelings of unworthiness, hopelessness, fear, discouragement, and condemnation? Do you recognize your own need to hear the Gospel daily, even as a follower of Christ? We tend to believe that after accepting Jesus into our lives we no longer need to hear the Gospel, but our need for God’s Truth doesn’t cease once we believe in it. TJ Auten, Riv’s Student Ministries Director, reminds us that as believers in Christ, we are loved by God and called Saints. We have been set apart to share the good news of Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection with everyone, including ourselves.

To all who are in Rome, loved by God, called as saints.

Romans 1:7

So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

Romans 1:15

Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel I preached to you, which you received, on which you have taken your stand and by which you are being saved, if you hold to the message I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to many.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4
