Romans 15:1-13

 15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up. 3 For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”[a] 4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

 5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[b] on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed 9 and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:

 “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
    I will sing the praises of your name.”[c]
10 Again, it says,

 “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”[d]
11 And again,

 “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
    let all the peoples extol him.”[e]
12 And again, Isaiah says,

 “The Root of Jesse will spring up,
    one who will arise to rule over the nations;
    in him the Gentiles will hope.”[f]
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Supplied Life Devotional by Bill Freeman

A life-voice August 15th

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life.” JOHN 10:27-28

Christ as the life-giving Spirit now dwells in our regenerated human spirit, making our spirit life. Our spirit is life because Christ, the life-giver, lives there. This helps us to realize the location of the life-consciousness within us. It is in our spirit! Thus, not only is our spirit life, but our spirit is also the source from which every kind of life-consciousness flows into our being (cf. John 7:37-39; 10:10).

We need to make the connection between experiencing the Lord’s life and hearing the Lord’s voice. This connection is presented by the Lord Himself in John 10:10 and 16 as well as John 10:27-28: 10 “I have come that they may have life, and that they may haveitmoreabundantly....16 AndothersheepIhavewhicharenot of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. . . . 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” By these verses we can see the way the Lord’s voice is experienced by us. It is by the Lord’s life that we experience His voice. It is a life-voice!
