The Goal of the Gospel

To the world, giving everything to Jesus looks like a waste. But in reality, He is the only One worthy of our most costly and valuable spiritual treasure. When we love Him with our first love, nothing is too good for Him.

Yes, Lord you are the first love. I pray for Norton University, Lord make them hear your gospel.

"Faithful is the word and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am foremost. But because of this I was shown mercy, that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ might display all His long-suffering for a pattern to those who are to believe on Him unto eternal life." (1 Timothy 1:15-16)

The goal of God’s salvation is that we may fully enjoy GOD in Christ as our life therefore we must love the Lord Jesus with the first love. Thank You, Lord, for pouring out the love of God in our hearts through the Holy Spirit. 🙏

"But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not dig through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Matthew 6:20-21)

Lord Your goal is gaining the many lovers of Jesus. Remember the preaching of the gospel in RUPP. With all the saints we preach the gospel.

Amen

Praise the Lord and to Father our God. Your move through Your people.

Yes Lord, make us the willing ones

I am still not quite sure what it means by spiritual treasure. Maybe someday the Lord will show me what this truly means. However, I can't help but see two pourings here. There's the pouring of what is most precious to us (for me it is the self) and the pouring of our spiritual treasure (for me this is Christ).

To me at this stage in my life to pour out myself is to remain crucified; to pour out my spiritual treasure is to give the life that I have been given back to the Lord. To go His way in all things for His purpose. Even despising what I could gain for myself in the world. To pour out the portion of Christ given to me by giving my life to know Christ and the church and to minister Christ to the church and to the nations.
