Becoming a Christian guarantees that you will never be alone. Faith in Jesus gives us instant relationship with God. And faith in Jesus gives us an instant community of brothers and sisters in Christ. This means a lot in a world described by the United States Attorney General as having an “epidemic of loneliness.” And it means a lot when we feel as if we are the only Christian at any given time in our life. Romans reminds us of this truth once again. We are taught that God always has a “remnant” of faithful believers in Jesus.
Understanding that we are not alone in the Christian faith encourages us to continue loving Jesus even if it feels like we are the only one believing. We live in an ever increasing secularized world. When many are denying or simply ignorant of Jesus, it can feel lonely. Let us continue gathering together to encourage one another that we are not alone. We are surrounded in community at The Rock by like-minded, loving, caring, kind, Jesus-loving people. May we lean into this community more and more in our lives.
This Sunday is another opportunity to love one another with our presence! I hope to see you this Sunday to worship, pray, receive God’s Word, and fellowship with one another!
“So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.’” - Romans 11:5
