Living to Please Others

The apostle Paul writes in his letter to the Romans, Chapter 15)

“We should help others and do what is right and build them up in the Lord. For even Christ didn’t live to please Himself. ( v. 3, NLT)

“May God, who gives you patienc and encouragement, help you to live in complete harmony with each other, as fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory. Remember that Christ came as a servant to the Jews to show that God is true to the promises He made to their ancestors. He came also that the Gentiles might give glory to God for His mercies to them. ( vv. 5-9a, NLT)

“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. (v. 13, NLT)

We would love to hear from you!
