THE POINT OF SPIRITUAL HONOUR
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians.
Romans 1:14
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=ro+1:14&sr=1
Paul was overwhelmed with the sense of his indebtedness to Jesus
Christ, and he spent himself to express it. The great inspiration in
Paul's life was his view of Jesus Christ as his spiritual creditor.
Do I feel that sense of indebtedness to Christ in regard to every
unsaved soul? The spiritual honour of my life as a saint is to fulfil
my debt to Christ in relation to them. Every bit of my life that is
of value I owe to the Redemption of Jesus Christ; am I doing anything
to enable Him to bring His Redemption into actual manifestation in
other lives? I can only do it as the Spirit of God works in me this
sense of indebtedness.
I am not to be a superior person amongst men, but a bondslave of the
Lord Jesus. "Ye are not your own." Paul sold himself to Jesus Christ.
He says - I am a debtor to everyone on the face of the earth because
of the Gospel of Jesus; I am free to be an absolute slave only. That
is the characteristic of the life when once this point of spiritual
honour is realized. Quit praying about yourself and be spent for
others as the bondslave of Jesus. That is the meaning of being made
broken bread and poured out wine in reality.
