Romans 15

“I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me” (30). Paul called on the believers in Rome, Jew and Gentile both, to join him in accomplishing the task of spreading the gospel. His role was to go to new places (20), but he needed the help of the whole church, with prayers and finances, to get there (24). Together, the whole Body of Christ fulfilled the “priestly duty” of proclaiming Christ in the world (16).

As every believer does their part in living for and proclaiming Jesus, “with one mind and one voice” we can glorify God (6).
