BOMM Devotional - Week of December 12

To all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 1:7

The only way to have peace in this life is from the fullness of our sovereign God; Father, Son, and Spirit. However, His grace must be poured out first. A special grace, specific to all He has separated unto Himself. Not the common grace of divine provision, where He causes the sun to rise equally on the good and the evil (Matt. 4:45), but the special grace infused by the Spirit. The Spirit who indwells in every believer, convicting them of sin and of faith, teaching them, and empowering them in the cause of Christ.
