My child, those who wait for Me will not be put to shame. I have called you to build up and encourage those around you. Proclaim My Good News to them. Lift up My standard. I am in you and with you. I will live through you as you surrender yourself to Me.
Isaiah 49:23 62:10
My child, I give you authority on this earth. I called you and chose you to be My representative. To share the Good News and proclaim My Name to this generation. Walk in love and truth and by My Spirit. Be who I’ve called you to be. People need to hear the Good News. Don’t be afraid. Don’t shrink back. The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy, but I came to give life. Abundant life.
John 10:10
My child, live in the power and authority that you have in Me. Be a beacon of light to those living in the darkness. Bring good news to the lost and hope to the brokenhearted. Be who I created you to be and let My light shine in this dark world today. 1 Peter 2:9
Just what is it that sets apart the revelation of Christ’s gospel entrusted to Paul? I’m sure you’ll see what’s so special when you read the following brief synopsis of what it actually encompasses. Here it is, a seven part series presented in the first person so that you might get a better sense of its glorious impact for each of us personally:
God the Father sent Jesus, God the Son, among us to bring the truth of His promise of eternal life for all those who believe (Romans 3:22). Jesus emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, being made in the likeness of men (Phil. 2:7). In so doing, He is able to sympathize with my weaknesses, having been tempted in all things as I am, yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15).
He first suffered beyond what any of us can imagine at the hands of His accusers, and died an excruciating execution by crucifixion where He made propitiation (an appeasing sacrifice) for all the sins of humanity by taking the punishment for those sins upon Himself (Hebrews 2:17).
Jesus was then raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, and has given me the promise of eternal life in Him. Having received His promise by faith, I have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, and as a result also share in the likeness of His glorious resurrection (Romans 6:4-5).
