(Rom 9:3) “For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:”  Notice the clarification: “…my kinsmen according to the flesh:”  I have a brother and a sister according to the flesh. I have a multitude of brothers and sisters according to the spirit. How blessed it is indeed with those brothers or sisters of the flesh are also of the spirit! Please Lord speak to those lost of the flesh.

Rom 9:1  I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, … ( 3) For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren,  my kinsmen according to the flesh:”  There is only one other man I know of in Scripture that reached this level of Christ-like love for others – Moses. Yet, the answer from God was: (Exo 32:33)  “And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book”. Jesus has stood in our stead on the cross. Each person must choose Him rather than their sinful ways.

Rom 9:1  I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, …(2) That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. ( 3)..my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:”  We are commanded of God not to worry about the things of this world, about ourselves. But we are to be concerned, troubled, about the fate of others. We are to live for the good and the salvation of others.

 (Rom 9:1) “I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,  ….(Rom 9:3)  For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:”   When it comes to lost souls, what does your conscience say? When you are with the lost, do you ask the Lord to give you opportunities to witness?

(Rom 9:1) “I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, ….(Rom 9:3)  For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:”   Lies, deception, is of the devil. Jesus said he is a lair and the father of it (in other words, he was the first to lie). Every time you or I lie, we are as far away from reflecting our Savior as they come.

 Rom 8:38  For I am persuaded, that [nothing]…(39) …shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Take special note that the love of God is “in Christ Jesus our Lord”. Until you are put “into” the Son and His finished work of redemption; in other words, until you have been born again, made spiritually alive as one old enough to repent and ask for mercy; the love of God will not be upon your life. It is “in” Christ Jesus our Lord.

(Rom 8:38) “For I am persuaded, that neither death,… (39)…nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”   Since our Lord exist alone as God Almighty, every creature under His domain is a created being. Angels fell, but He did not redeem them by the sacrifice of Himself. Only the saved of mankind, of which I am one. So, no creature has the power to separate me from His love.

(Rom 8:38) “For I am persuaded, that neither death,… (39)  Nor height, nor depth,….shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”   There are times our hearts say, “The Lord seems so far away.” That is a feeling, not reality. He is everywhere as God; but particularly He is inside every child of God. He has promised, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee” (Heb 13:5).
