The Beauty of Paul

I have absolutely loved reading the letters of Paul. He beautifully presents the idea that Abram believed and it was counted to him as righteousness. Abram not Abraham, a Gentile before becoming a Jew so that the promise of God could be for all. Abram's faith is counted as righteousness! Paul is also wonderful in showing that through Christ we are adopted, and as such are sons and daughters through Christ. I shudder to think how void of hope my life would be if I was under the law! I am so thankful for someone who loved me while I was yet a sinner, who took on sin, who became cursed, who gave up himself to death, so that we could become righteous, without sin, that we may become blessed, that we can take up a new resurrected life. That we may glorify Jesus and through Jesus glorify the Father who is are creator- He is God, it is He that created us and we are His, we are His people, and the flock of His pasture! Praise the name of the Lord! Pay the laborer his wages, and do not muzzle the ox while he treds the grain! This is the same God who's steadfast love redeems the Roman Jew who persecuted and killed Christians, before turning his life over to God! Paul said it best, there is only one winner, run the race saints! run the race Saints! Believe in Jesus believe Believe! in God Believe in the Holy Spirit! Always try and extend the card of love to eachother, lift eachother up, encourage and not cause eachother to stumble. Act daily to put on the whole armor of God and to fight the good fight. Your faith is the action. Faith is an act, an act of the will an act of the immaterial, immortal, and uncorruptable spirit that rose Christ from the dead! and it dwells in those that believe! Praise God! Raise me Lord Jesus, Abba Father, raise me, you are my fortress You are my refuge, my God in whom I trust!
