Romans 1:5-7 CSB

Through him we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the Gentiles, including you who are also called by Jesus Christ.

To all who are in Rome, loved by God, called as saints. 

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 1:5-7 CSB

"including you"

Paul is writing to the church in Rome which seems to be mainly people who are not Jews, who the Good News of Jesus did not initially seem to include...but it always did.

"including you"

Sometimes there's part of us that seems to think we don't belong 

"including you"

Our story includes being excluded 

"including you"

When we feel judged, left out, not good enough

"including you"

To all who are in Rome (to you, wherever you are, in your struggles, in your story, including you, you are), loved by God, called as saints. 

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Including you, called as a saint.

Including you, loved by God.

Including you, Grace To You.

Including you, Peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Redemptive Story always included you.
