Daily Reading – Psa. 52-57 / Rom. 7

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      Time and again we have seen a couple meet, fall in love, marry, and not long after, they are announcing a new life in their home. A child is born from their love and relationship. God’s Word calls this being fruitful. After the flood, God told Noah’s family Genesis 9:1b… “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.”

      When we accepted Christ as Saviour, we became part of the Bride of Christ. Paul said here in Romans 7:4 we are dead to the law and married to Christ. He then adds, “that we should bring forth fruit unto God.” He is talking about us reproducing ourselves. How? By sharing the gospel with others and winning them to Christ.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Shouldn’t our love relationship with the Lord cause us to be fruitful and reproduce too?
