ARE YOU DISTRACTED FROM GOD?
Awesomeness has lost some of its meaning to us in the 21st Century. In the Bible, God is described as awesome, and when He is present, there is such a sense of wonder that it borders on fear. This awesomeness is an overpowering sense of God’s glory that can be felt.
OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD
When Paul wrote from Corinth to the fledgling church in Rome, he sought some way that He might encourage them. They lived with all the daily load of life, plus the general excitement that came from being at the center of the world in that generation.
You’ve heard the modern version of Rome's culture in the First Century summed up as follows: “All roads lead to Rome.”
That was true. Each Roman Road built across the Empire was part of a river of activity that flowed into the pulsating heart of the Empire: the city of Rome.
There was no grander place of building, no larger display of power, no more distracting place of fascination than in Rome. Every day, something new arrived, either an army, a caravan, or some breaking news of far-off places and events. Endless distractions flowed down the roads that all led to Rome.
Today, via the Internet, all roads can now lead to us. There is hardly anything going on anywhere: that isn’t a click away. The river that flowed into Rome brought good and bad information.
KEEP FOCUSED BY BATTLING DISTRACTION
So, Paul wanted to help these saints live their lives for Christ. After explaining the glorious doctrines of salvation (Romans 1-11), Paul says: “Since you are saved, live for Christ” which is the short version of Romans 12:1-2.
Then, a few chapters later in Romans 14:10, Paul says, guard what you do with your life, because we all have an appointment. Please look at Romans 14:10 with me.
That pathway of blessing comes only to those who obey Him. Jesus allows us to live as we wish but reminds us that the clock started running when we were saved, and the tape will be replayed someday. Even in something as small as when a Christian brother disagrees with me, my response matters to God enough that I will answer to Him before the Throne. Romans 14:10 (NKJV):
But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
