WITNESS

As the message of the Best News Ever  first reaches us we become

transfixed on the Person of Jesus Christ and are transformed by Him.

We are no longer only bystanders to history or only informed about

 the most pivotal event for humanity. This message, the Message of Who God

is and who you are changes everything. This changes humanity and

it also changes your life, because your life never means the same again.

You and your life means so much to God that He came to rescue you

from vanity and futility. He came to destroy sin and death, so you can

live with Him eternally. You do what prophets and apostles have

done. You believe and therefore you will speak. It is inevitable that at

some point you will be asked to explain the hope that lives in you.

Likewise the Bible is not a book of law or history or simply an account

of events past. It is a living word of witness to the True and Living God.

It is all about His Love, for God is love. Moved and led by the Holy Spirit

Who inspired the scripture you are moved to declare the Living Jesus

Christ to a dying and desperate world.The Church and the Christian hear

the voice of the Good Shepherd, the Holy Spirit directs the Holy Scripture

to our hearts. The word that set you free will dwell in you richly so that

you may declare the same word to set others free from fear, from tyranny

and from darkness, because he whom the Son sets free is free indeed and

where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom, real freedom and ‘you will

know the truth and the truth shall set you free’ and the word of God can

not be imprisoned, it is like a two-edged sword dividing the joint and the

marrow, to reveal the thoughts and intents of the heart. The word

that proceeds from God will not return to Him void, but will accomplish

what it is intended to do.

“But we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters

beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the first fruits for

salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in

the truth. For this purpose He called you through our proclamation

of the Good News, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus

Christ. So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the

traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by

our letter.”

(II. Thessalonians 2:13).

AMEN!

The Spirit Himself bears witness

with our spirit that we are children

of God.

And if children, then heirs also,

heirs of God and joint heirs with

Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him,

that we may also be glorified together.

For I consider that the sufferings of

this present time are not worth being

compared with the glory which shall

be revealed in us.

( Romans 8.16-18).

INSPIRATION

Meditate on the following:

1) The Holy Spirit testifies together with

our spirit that we are God’s children.

2)Since we are children of God, everything

ultimately and essentially belongs to us.

3) We are joint heirs with Christ, because

we are in Christ and we are God’s children.

3) Jesus Christ suffered and we also suffer,

however the sufferings of this life are not

worthy to be compared to the glory which

will be revealed in us.

4) These verses put the notions of property,

wealth,resources and riches in a totally new

light.

5) These verses also shed significant light on

the human condition, providing a new

perspective on the predicament of pain

and suffering not previously found in other

teachings.

CHILDREN OF GOD

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are debtors-

not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

For if you live according to the flesh you will die

but if by the Spirit you put to death the

deeds of the body, you will live.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,

these are the sons and daughters of God.

For you did not receive the Spirit of bondage

again to fear, but you received the Spirit of

adoption by whom we cry out, “Daddy, Father!”

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit

that we are the children of God.

And if children, then heirs- heirs of God, and

joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with

Him, that we may also be glorified together.

(Romans 8.12-17).

POINTS TO CONSIDER

1) Implications of being born of the Spirit

(see John 3.5-6).

2) Living according to the flesh versus through the Spirit

3) The consequence of living according to the flesh

4 The advantage of living by the Spirit

5) The children of God

6) The spirit of bondage versus the Spirit of adoption

7) The consequence of being children of God

The divine truths here and the definite promises are

awesome.
