THE GOSPEL TRUTH!
Oh… the FAITH of our FATHERS!
“O WRETCHED MAN that I AM! Who will deliver me from this body of death?”
Rom. 7:24.
What made PAUL clamor in the context of this bible verse that he shared with the Christian church in Rome….this is the core message captioned in the image above. Paul’s fellowship with God had torn the veil of FLESH that harbors SIN and EVIL, he could no longer tolerate sin and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in his life/existence; he realized how SIN had enslaved mankind through LUST that wars in our heart… imagine that all believers are operating in this spiritual realm – OLD TIME RELIGION that is dead to EVIL/SIN! How SHARP is your CONSCIENCE against SIN? How do you react when you are GUILTY of any SIN? The ANSWER to this QUESTION indicates one’s CLOSENESS to GOD!
The truth? No genuine REVIVAL without a GODLY SORROW that leads to REPENTANCE – noteworthy for the CHURCH LEADERS and all true belivers today… so, be mindful of your heart’s state against the SLIGHTEST SIN henceforth!
REVIVE us O Lord!🙏🔥
