PUBLISHING The WORD . . . REDEEMING The WORLD By The WORD!
“The Lord gave The WORD: great was the company of those that PUBLISHED it” Psalms 68:11.
It is about PUBLISHING the Gospel of Redemption — from the grips and bondages of SIN in nature and its effects: POVERTY, SICKNESS, and SPIRITUAL DEATH.
Resulting in being made the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus’ stead.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME the righteousness of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.
And being made RIGHTEOUS and JUSTIFIED, these rights and privileges position one to STAND IN GRACE — unashamed, without wrath, without doubt, free from guilt, acquitted and qualified — to access God in the hope and glory of God in Christ Jesus.
This is a tangible reality: TO BECOME OF GOD in Christ Jesus in the grace.
“Therefore, having been JUSTIFIED by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this grace in which we STAND, and REJOICE in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.
“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.
“I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, WITHOUT WRATH and DOUBTING” 1 Timothy 2:8.
Therefore, go forth and publish the Gospel of Redemption, if indeed you’ve received the rights and privileges of God in Christ Jesus, the reality is tangible to share with your friends, family and love one’s, except you’ve lied to yourself.
God’s grace and speed.
Shalom!
