Why am I here? and Where am I going? remain unanswered in the minds of are groping for answers. They don't know the meaning to life. They don't know how to relate to others or how to view of us have struggled with these perplexities of life until God's answer , even as believers, out viewpoints can get bent out of shape. Many have an unBiblical self-image (a wrong view of themselves and their purpose in life).

7 Today there is much confusion as to what the Gospel is (even among Christian circles). Many believers have struggles relating to other our study of ROMANS , we will find answers to these 's opening remarks in 1:1-7 will help us bring things into focus; his testimony will help clear the fog or remove the distorted ideas we have about 1) ourselves 2) the Gospel and 3) othersThree viewpoints of the Apostle 'S VIEWPOINT OF HIMSELF (V. 1, 5) Understood God's Claim on His Life (v. 1a)ILLUS: People ask you: "What are you?" You reply, "I'm a carpenter, printer, librarian, school teacher, milk man, computer programmer, technician, mechanic, pastor, etc."Paul would reply: "I'm a slave."Some might think: "Couldn't Paul have been a bit more dignified in his description of himself?Paul could have said, "I'm a preacher"; "I'm a Church planter"; or "I m a born again Christian.

8 " But rather, he said, "I'm a slave." Why?Paul knew that before he could even be a preacher, Church planter, or Christian that glorified Christ, he would have to be a slave for # , Faith Baptist Church , NYNo part of this material may be sold or published without the written permission of Vincent SawyerEveryone in the world, if they do their job correctly, is a servant of someone : In a Church : Pastor is a minister (a servant) of the gospel; deacons and laymen serve. In the family: parents serve by providing for and protecting their children, and children serve the parents. In business: the best businessman is one who has the customer's best interest in enforcement officers are to be servants of the people; the armed services (army, navy, air force, and marines) serve our country. Our president's job is not to be catered to, but to serve our country.

9 Angels are " ministering spirits" = who serve you and me (Heb. 1:14). Even Jesus Christ: when He humbled Himself, He became a servant (Phil. 2) and said, "For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." (Mk. 10:45)In our society, the term "slave" is degrading. They think it refers to being "stepped on" or treated in a harsh manner.*We should consider it an honor to serve is in serving - Mark 10:43 - "But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister.""The greatness of a man is measured not by how many serve him, but by how many he serves."*We should consider it our duty to serve you trusted Jesus Christ, you trusted the Lord of the universe to save you. Anyone who truly acknowledges Christ as Lord (Rom. 10:9) will automati-cally see the need to submit to Him and serve Him.

10 But our service should not be drudgery. Rather, out of gratitude for His love to us, we love Him and serve Him in believer is a servant of Jesus Christ. The question is: Are you a "good and faithful servant"? (Mt. 25:23)We were servants of sin before salvation (Rom. 6:17), but now we are servants of righteousness (v. 18), servants of God (v. 22).Rom. 12:7 says that we should not be "slothful in business; [but] fervent in spirit serving the Lord."Page # , Faith Baptist Church , NYNo part of this material may be sold or published without the written permission of Vincent Sawyer"Ye serve the Lord Christ" (Col. 3:24).We, like the Thessalonians, turned from idols "to serve the living and true God" (I Th. 1:9).Most everyone today wants to be served rather than to find good service today is rare!EX: Gas stations don't automatically check oil and clean your windows.
