March 6, 2025 – What is this World Coming To?
Romans 11:36
Sermon: 2072 The Secret of Effectual Prayer, Part 2
Pray Over This
“For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.”
Romans 11:36
Ponder This
When we read that all creation was made for God in Romans 11:36, the word “for” is the Greek preposition and it has the idea of progress or motion toward an object. The Universe came from Him; the Universe is sustained by Him; and everything comes back to Him. People ask this question; “What’s the world coming to?” It’s coming to Jesus: “For of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things.” It’s true in the material universe.
This is also true in the spiritual universe. Think about the things we have in the spiritual universe. How did you get saved? Your salvation began in the heart and mind of God. Christ died before the foundation of the world in the heart and mind of God, and God knew you before you were born. Your salvation did not originate with you; it originated with God. “We love Him because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19). It is of Him, and then it is through Him. Jesus came to Earth, suffered, bled, and died for us on the cross, and with His royal blood, He paid the price of our salvation. And then it is to Him. Why did He do all of that? So that we could know Him, love Him, worship Him, and honor Him.
- What are some of the hard things in our world that make it seem like it is moving toward disaster? How does this verse give perspective on God’s redemptive plan?
- Are you moving toward Christ and knowing Him more? How so? What are some of areas where you need to move further toward Christ?
Practice This
Confess to God the areas in which you have been struggling to recognize His control over the world. Consider what areas of your life need to move toward Him.
