We all like good news! When we hear someone is doing well, when we learn that someone has been healed, when a baby is born safely, all kinds of things lift our spirits and encourage us in our walk of faith.π
Well, I have good news today that we can take with us through our coming week and it’s the news of the gospel but not half a gospel but the whole gospel! Maybe we think the gospel is just the forgiveness of sins and a home in heaven when we die, which is wonderful, but it’s far more than that!
God’s word tells us that He not only forgives all our sins and gives us His gift of right standing with Himself so that we’re saved from His wrath, but He also heals all our diseases, He restores our health to us, He restores our souls, He sets us free from bondages and addictions. Jesus has redeemed us from the curse of the Law and translated us out of the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Light.π
All of that is something to shout about, but I have even more good news because in church I was reminded yesterday that Jesus’ victory is now our victory, that Jesus’ glory is now our glory. Whatever Jesus now has, He has given to us as joint heirs with Him as our inheritance in Him, and it’s all ours now, not in the sweet by and by!
If ever you feel down in the dumps this week let me encourage you to read the Good News we’ve just looked at, again and again, and let it sink down into your spirit. The Holy Spirit wants us all to have a deeper revelation of all Jesus has won for us, not just part of it, so none of it is wasted.π
I believe God is saying if we take a different one of those truths with us each day this week and remind ourselves of it throughout our day we will all be transformed in some way as the Holy Spirit sets us free by the truth He reveals to us.
I hope you’re smiling because that is Good News my friends. Let’s believe it, receive it and declare it by faith, in Jesus name. Amen.π
