2024 TEENS VOLUME RHAPSODY OF REALITIES – MESSAGE.
Reading the four gospels might not give you the full picture of what it means to live as a Christian or who a Christian really is. This is because the gospels don’t cover much about Jesus’ life after His resurrection. That’s why Jesus told His disciples about the Holy Spirit—the Spirit of truth—who would show them what’s to come and guide them into all truth (John 16:12-13). So, to really understand the Christian life, the best place to look in the New Testament is the epistles.
“What about the Book of Acts?” you might ask. While it’s valuable, it mainly documents the acts of the early, baby Church. It’s a good starting point but not the best guide for understanding the mature Christian life. For deeper insights into the life of God’s new creation in Christ, you should study the Epistles. For example, Paul’s letter to the Romans is an extraordinary explanation of Christ’s supremacy and faith in Him as the source of salvation. His letter to the Ephesians details how new converts can grow in their spiritual knowledge of God and the realities of the Kingdom.
Consider Peter’s writings. In 2 Peter 1:4 ESV, he says, “By which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature….” This describes who Christians are: partakers of God’s divine nature, associates of the God-kind, carriers of the God-life. What a glorious reality!
Moreover, the prophetic words about the millennial reign of Christ reveal that everything the Lord promised to the Jews for that future time, He has already given the Church to enjoy today. To truly understand the Christian life and identity, you need the insights from the Book of Acts, the revelations and teachings in the epistles, and the promises given to the Jews for the Millennium. Hallelujah!
