Adrian Rogers: Totally Abandoned to the Gospel

Adrian Rogers: Totally Abandoned to the Gospel
Scripture Passage: Romans 1:14-16
In Romans 1, the Apostle Paul describes the heart and mind of someone totally abandoned to the Gospel in three “I am” statements.
I am a debtor.
Paul said, “I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise” (Romans 1:14).
Paul was faithful to the obligations of the Gospel. He first recognized his debt to Jesus Christ, and to the past heroes of the faith. Both Old Testament prophets, and the first martyr of the New Testament, Stephen, led to Paul’s conviction and knowledge of Christ.
We owe those who served Christ before us, even in their suffering, that we might know Jesus today. Our faith is a result of their vision, blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifice.
Paul also felt indebted to share the Gospel with the lost. Likewise, we should be heavy with compassion and accept the responsibility to share Jesus with others.
I am ready.
“So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also” (Romans 1:15). Paul was flexible for the opportunities of the Gospel. He was so consumed by Jesus that he was in love with his life, yet not afraid to die. (See Philippians 1:21.)
As followers of Christ, we are to be ready for anything He calls us to-to go or stay, to live or die, whatever, whenever, wherever.
I am unashamed.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek” (Romans 1:16). Finally, Paul did not fear opposition to the Gospel. In a proud, imperial city such as Rome, Paul was unashamed of Jesus Christ, and boldly proclaimed the purpose and the power of the Gospel.
Adrian Rogers says, “The Gospel is not intended to save civilization from wreckage; the Gospel is intended to save people from the wreckage of civilization.”
Without the Gospel of Jesus Christ, there is no hope; the power of the Gospel is the only thing that can save us from this lost world and rescue our souls from the grave.
Apply it to your life
When the Apostle Paul met Jesus, he asked two questions: “Who are You?” and “What would You have me to do?” Today, ask these two questions, so you may know who Jesus is and what He would have you “to do.”

Thankful Pastor Roger's messages are online. I found out about him many years after he went to be with Jesus and I've still been greatly blessed through his ministry.

[@ericb5194]

2024 here - and we have a greater urgency than ever to hold on tightly to the Gospel-and to share it with others.

[@calisteman7126]

I'M BLESSED AND GIVES ME AN ENCOURAGEMENT NOT TO BE ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF LORD JESUS CHRIST.

[@franciscafazzo3460]

I've been totally immoral I'm in despair I'm afraid that I have done things that are so long and I've been bondage for so long please pray for me as I listen

[@bobbiemauk1879]

..but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Romans 5:20

[@Nazareth434]

Doesn't matter- if you are ready to accept christ as your savior, you will be forgiven. Paul murdered people in cold blood- persecuted Christians, yet God still chose him to serve him. Moses murdered a man, yet God used him tremendously. King David had a man murdered in order to take his wife, yet God forgave him and used him mightily. Seek Christ while he may be found, for we don't know what tomorrow will bring- it may be too late if we wait.

[@haroldcale4767]

Pastor Adrian Rogers is the greatest of all preaching the truth of God. Amen. What a great lost of Pastor Rogers. God bless.

[@jenniferellis5776]

I love pastor Rogers sout he is at a better place now sorry he is not around b

[@Sojourning_]

Thank you LORD. Yes I believe it just as Pastor Rogers said it, everyone needs to know Jesus. I know our Neighbors by sight and name, some of them, but of late, I've not seen to much of them. One house besides us, gays, another house I have preached, shared Jesus with them, two others, one Catholic, and the other family go to church, or so I been told, and last a womans husband died around three years back I gave witnessed a few times. I don't know how she is positionally she is with Chriest Jesus.

[@jolynpalayon1329]

Amen

[@sabrinajohnson9579]

A good bible man

[@user-ud9og6qm9h]

God blessed me in getting to know him personally in 2003. I’ll tell you he was the real deal. The man in the pulpit was the same man behind the scenes. And he had a great sense of humor. Pic of him on my fridge and everytime I feel like I’m not living up to my calling I just look at his picture and realize we served the same God! A TRUE man of God!!!

[@Nazareth434]

We are tremendously blessed inthat we can read and study God's word without persecution. We are free to read. Someplaces don't allow such a privilege and will imprison tnose that do if caught. We should take full advantage of our privilege, and thank God for it and for his word to us.

[@Mediamessengers]

I need this today. ✝️ 💙

[@timidema6374]

Powerful message, I totally need it. Pray for me.

[@OSAS-SIMPLEMAN-IN-CHRIST]

Pastor Adrian Rodger Love the message for yes the GOSPEL IS FOR EVERLASTING LIFE AMEN. He saved a retch like me. You preach and sound like Billy Graham and he is one of my favorites.

[@briarpatchson3039]

If, i didn't know better! I'll drive to that church to see Him preach this Sunday!😂✝️🤣

[@Jem253]

Pastor Rogers has finished his life here on earth and is now in Heaven as of 2005.

[@garretthunterhodges]

Thank you so much for this message Brother Adrian❤️

[@joser2349]

Jesus said Truly truly i tell you ...one must be born again to see the kingdom of heaven

[@momo4799]

Aman....🙏👍

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

Love you, your ministry, but must you post at 4 a.m. and wake up the entire West Coast including Canada at 4 A.M.?

[@johngreganti3545]

How is posting on KZbin at 4am waking the west coast and Canada up? That doesn’t make any sense.

[@2990rick]

it's on you tube, you can watch it when you wake up...........I did

[@garretthunterhodges]

Sounds like you need to be woken up

[@harrymurray9702]

Calling the Truth of Jesus Christ, and his resurrection from the dead 3 days after his Crucifixion a fable is ironic. To say it is hard to believe, is contradictory. Look at what the romans believed in, literally nothing, they had a false god for everything, thats the true fable. I understand what Adrian Rogers is stating however, even so I find it far more difficult to believe theres a different god for each thing in our world, whether it be fertility, love, or whatever false notion you'd like to project.

[@bc2671]

I prefer to listen to Jesus rather than Paul. For those who have ears.

[@andrewunthank3521]

Paul’s writings are as inspired as the rest.

[@Nazareth434]

@@andrewunthank3521 exactly, the holy spirit spoke the WORD of God, which is Jesus Christ- Jesus is the word. Paul preached Jesus using jesus' own words
