The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Romans 1:14-20, “I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15 So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.”

When an employer hires you to perform specified duties, it is then your responsibility to carry out
those duties for which you were employed. It is somewhat the same with salvation, only that once
you are saved, you are forever employed with the responsibility of sharing your Employer and all
He is with others. There is no shame involved because He is what no one else is or ever could be.

Nor is there a lack of those who need Him! There are far more who need Him than we can ever
reach. There are even some who doubt His ability to perform a transformation in their lives. Your
life will be the prime example of His handiwork, and day-after-day they will witness the change in your life into His likeness. Exactly how all of that works is somewhat difficult to explain, but your fellow-workers will see the difference increase in you and will acknowledge that you are not the
same person that started work with them in the weeks previous.

You will be praying for the LORD, who transformed you, to do the same in the lives of your fellow-
workers. The same power of the LORD that made changes in your life will cause them to ask how
you became what you now are; and you will have the opportunity to share the LORD with them.
You will then be able to verbally share you testimony with them.

The LORD, who saves us, will put within us the desire to share Him with others. That’s what Paul
meant when he said, “THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.” May the LORD bless and
use you for the praise of His glory!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
