Next Verse |
That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
Note 1 at Ro 15:16: We cannot just worship God any way we want to. Our worship has to be sanctified by the Holy Ghost. Until we make Jesus our Lord, the Holy Spirit does not intercede for us. Paul was saying that through his preaching of the Gospel and the Gentiles' reception of salvation, the Holy Spirit was then free to work on their behalf.
