For We Know

Love, love, love this little devotional. Short but powerful.

My hope is you get as much out of it as I did.

God Bless.

1 Thessalonians 1:4-7 For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you,  because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.  And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.

Today we learn that the gospel comes in at least 3 forms: in words; in power, and in the Holy Spirit with deep conviction. At times the gospel comes as a combination of the 3, working together to reveal Christ Jesus, and assault the heart of a sinner with God's amazing grace. We experience an amazing change because of the power of the gospel. Conviction indicates the birth of change, and conviction revealed by the Holy Spirit of God even more so, and toward His purposes for us. Holy Spirit, lead us into all good things together in Christ Jesus.
