Romans
1:3 KJV
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the
seed of David according to the flesh;
Paul wrote to the Romans in
anticipation of his own journey there and to introduce (or announce) in advance
the message God had given Him to preach. That message was "concerning His Son Jesus Christ."
The whole of the life of the
believer ought to be "concerning
His Son Jesus Christ."
- Every event we involve ourselves in
- Every interest we allow ourselves
to have
- Every occupation we engage
ourselves in
It all ought be "concerning His Son Jesus Christ."
I can't see where the Apostle involved himself in anything else.
- He was interested in the Jews and
- He did raise money to relieve the
poor saints in Jerusalem
- He appears to have employed himself
in tent making at one time
But in each case the larger
purpose was "concerning His Son Jesus Christ."
I would not want to imply that
the Christian have no interests outside of church but that each of those interests
would have an objective that was ultimately "concerning
His Son Jesus Christ."
