Romans 1:1-7, Biblical Greetings!
Romans 1:1-7 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) 3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: 7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
With an endearing salutation, Paul greets the believers in Rome. He addressed them as “beloved of God”. A most encouraging and comforting term to remind them that they are precious in God’s sight. A good reminder to you as you begin this new day. May your morning prayer be as the psalmist’s, “Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings.” (Psalm 17:8)
