Paul's letter from Rome, was to encourage the church to love each other. Not Eros which is a sentimental superficial kind of love. Not Fila (Phila) which is brotherly love I'll love you if you love me kind of love. But have Agape love the I'm gonna love you even though kind of love. He encourage them to have Unity within the church to work together for God's will. To Humble themselves in the service of the Lord, to remember that but for the Grace of God. To Believe the scriptures as written to stand firm and hold steady. To Rejoice in the Lord, have joy in Jesus Christ.To have a Goal to get initimate/close with Jesus, move on from the past, don't get stuck for you can't move forward to the future that God has planned for you. To let go of Guilt not to carry it around like a badge of honor, to let go and let God. Come to know the Lord God and Jesus Christ through Bible study, Prayer, Loving each other, walking the righteous path, be not ashamed of being a Christian, be Faithful, Praise the Lord at all times.
But, most importantly Press On to the Prize, the High Calling of Jesus Christ and the Lord will bless your steps.
There is hope
