Experiencing God can profoundly motivate us to share the gospel. Isaiah 6 illustrates how an encounter with God transformed Isaiah's willingness to spread His message. Despite knowing the people wouldn't listen, Isaiah's awe of God's glory drove him to say, 'Here I am, send me.' Every believer is called to be a missionary, sharing the gospel in their own context. This week, challenge yourself to trust in God's plan and share His message, even if immediate results aren't visible.

Righteousness often seems like an unattainable goal, yet the Bible reveals it as a divine gift accessible through faith, not by our own merits. We are all familiar with the inherent nature of sin, but through Jesus Christ, we encounter a transformative moment that redefines our existence from condemnation to justification. This righteousness, which is apart from the law, is a universal invitation to a life changed by faith. It's not a reward for our deeds but a testament to God's mercy, purchased by the sacrifice of Christ. As we understand and embrace this gift, we are called to reflect on how this truth impacts our lives and to share the message of God's grace with others, growing in faith and trust in His promises.

Every individual will face God's judgment, a sobering truth underscored in Romans 2:5-16. Our deeds are the basis for this judgment, yet they cannot earn us salvation.

However, the gospel provides hope, offering righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works of the law.
