Apostle Paul did not boast about his academic achievements, his prodigious knowledge, his substantial background, or his abundant wealth. Paul knew that he should’ve faced destruction because of curses and disasters. That was the reason why he boasted of God’s grace that saved him. Then, for whom will God open the doors of Heaven and pour down His blessings?

1. What Is the Faith That Believes in the Gospel of Salvation? (Romans 16:25~27)
For Adam and Eve who left God, He had promised them the Gospel(Genesis 3:15). God had hidden the Gospel of salvation for long ages past; however, He now wanted to relay it for all eternity(Romans 16:25~27). God sent Jesus Christ, whom He predestined, to those who weren’t worthy of salvation(Acts 3:20), and chose you in Christ before the creation of the world(Ephesians 1:4). God led you to believe in the Gospel of salvation according to His good pleasure(Ephesians 1:9).

2. The Reason and Method of Salvation(Ephesians 2:8~10)
Even though you didn’t deserve salvation, God called you as righteous and made you His child(justification) Therefore, salvation is not based on merit, but entirely on God's grace. There is no other reason. That’s why receiving salvation with your own strength is absolutely impossible. The Gospel of salvation is absolutely possible through faith in believing in God.

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation(2 Corinthians 5:17). However, people easily mistake being saved because of their own circumstances and reasons. Above all, the motive for salvation must be accurate. You must become a Remnant who glorifies God and restores true thanksgiving.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, thank you for making me Your child through faith and Your grace. Help me to always enjoy the blessing of salvation and use me as an evangelism disciple to share it. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. Are You Giving Correct Worship?
Are You Enjoying True Prayer?

Even though people go to church out of habit, they are ignorant of giving correct worship.
They pray diligently, but have nothing to do with answers to true prayer.
They don’t know what is or isn’t a problem or its cause.
Eventually, they surrender and give up altogether.

Height,
When you look solely to God with hope and deep anticipation, true thanksgiving will overflow through prayer and worship.

Depth,
When you restore the time of receiving power and healing, you will receive God’s power and new strength inside of prayer and worship.

Width,
When you look at the vast spiritual field that is beyond your imagination, you can completely save the world and others through prayer and worship.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
