Gospel Reflections #231: United to Christ

Romans 16:22 "I, Tertio, the scribe of this letter, greet you as one united to Christ."

Those united to Christ were not only apostles and disciples, but also Paul's secretary and assistant, Tertio, who was also united to Christ.

Each of us, too, is a person united to Christ, not only pastors, teachers, and church servants.

But we think, we don't know if we are united to Christ because of our devotion to prayer and Bible study.

God does not look at our deeds or achievements, but at our hearts that recognize how weak and ugly we are and that we cannot do it on our own and ask God for help.

God does not take our hands off of Him.

If we choose to reach out to God, He will make us united to Christ.

He will then allow us to communicate Him through our mouths and limbs when needed.

What we can do is not to be good Christians, but to dive into God as helpless Christians.

We are weak, but God surrounds us with love.

God's love is the strongest!
