For His Name Sake

Romans 1:5 "Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name."NLT
"Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name's sake." NIV
"through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations," ESV

O, Lord!  I am so very blessed that You gave the Apostles the privilege and authority to tell Gentiles what You have done for them!  Where would I be if You had not?  You could have died for the sins of the Jews only, as they were and are Your chosen people.  But You died for us ALL...Jew and Gentile alike!  99.8% of all of the Christians I have met were Gentiles!  My Lord, and my God!  How can we Gentiles ever thank You enough for our so great salvation?  May we never get an "entitlement" attitude, Lord, but instead never lose the wonder and gratitude of Your inclusion of us in Your plan for Your name sake!
