Adrian Rogers: Totally Abandoned to the Gospel
Adrian Rogers: Totally Abandoned to the Gospel
Scripture Passage: Romans 1:14-16
In Romans 1, the Apostle Paul describes the heart and mind of someone totally abandoned to the Gospel in three “I am” statements.
I am a debtor.
Paul said, “I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise” (Romans 1:14).
Paul was faithful to the obligations of the Gospel. He first recognized his debt to Jesus Christ, and to the past heroes of the faith. Both Old Testament prophets, and the first martyr of the New Testament, Stephen, led to Paul’s conviction and knowledge of Christ.
We owe those who served Christ before us, even in their suffering, that we might know Jesus today. Our faith is a result of their vision, blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifice.
Paul also felt indebted to share the Gospel with the lost. Likewise, we should be heavy with compassion and accept the responsibility to share Jesus with others.
I am ready.
“So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also” (Romans 1:15). Paul was flexible for the opportunities of the Gospel. He was so consumed by Jesus that he was in love with his life, yet not afraid to die. (See Philippians 1:21.)
As followers of Christ, we are to be ready for anything He calls us to-to go or stay, to live or die, whatever, whenever, wherever.
I am unashamed.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek” (Romans 1:16). Finally, Paul did not fear opposition to the Gospel. In a proud, imperial city such as Rome, Paul was unashamed of Jesus Christ, and boldly proclaimed the purpose and the power of the Gospel.
Adrian Rogers says, “The Gospel is not intended to save civilization from wreckage; the Gospel is intended to save people from the wreckage of civilization.”
Without the Gospel of Jesus Christ, there is no hope; the power of the Gospel is the only thing that can save us from this lost world and rescue our souls from the grave.
Apply it to your life
When the Apostle Paul met Jesus, he asked two questions: “Who are You?” and “What would You have me to do?” Today, ask these two questions, so you may know who Jesus is and what He would have you “to do.”

He ain't Lost!!! I just found Him a few months ago! I'm Praising God!
I need this today. ✝️ 💙
God blessed me in getting to know him personally in 2003. I’ll tell you he was the real deal. The man in the pulpit was the same man behind the scenes. And he had a great sense of humor. Pic of him on my fridge and everytime I feel like I’m not living up to my calling I just look at his picture and realize we served the same God! A TRUE man of God!!!
Aman....🙏👍
If, i didn't know better! I'll drive to that church to see Him preach this Sunday!😂✝️🤣

Sounds like you need to be woken up
Calling the Truth of Jesus Christ, and his resurrection from the dead 3 days after his Crucifixion a fable is ironic. To say it is hard to believe, is contradictory. Look at what the romans believed in, literally nothing, they had a false god for everything, thats the true fable. I understand what Adrian Rogers is stating however, even so I find it far more difficult to believe theres a different god for each thing in our world, whether it be fertility, love, or whatever false notion you'd like to project.
I prefer to listen to Jesus rather than Paul. For those who have ears.

Paul’s writings are as inspired as the rest.
