DISPENSE LIFE!
(You’re A Giver Of Life)
TO THE BIBLE 1 Corinthians 15:45Open in Logos Bible Software (if available) GNB
“For the scripture says, “The first man, Adam, was created a living being”; but the last Adam is the life-giving Spirit.”
LET’S TALK➡
Jesus came with a purpose—to give eternal life to those who would believe in Him. He affirmed this in John 10:10Open in Logos Bible Software (if available) (MSG), “…I came so they can have real and eternal life.” In John 10:27-28Open in Logos Bible Software (if available), He also said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life.” This is why Paul describes Him in 1 Corinthians 15:45Open in Logos Bible Software (if available) as the life-giving Spirit.
It’s beautiful to know that having been born again, you’ve become one spirit with the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:17Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)). In other words, you’re also a life-giving spirit—a dispenser and distributor of divine life. Your purpose thus is to bring the lost into the life of righteousness through the Gospel. This is why Jesus, in John 20:21Open in Logos Bible Software (if available), said, “…As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
Jesus has appointed you as His representative and bearer of His Gospel on earth, to manifest the God-life to the nations of the world. Eternal life is revealed through the preaching of the Gospel. This means that as people listen to you preach, eternal life—salvation, prosperity and the righteousness of God—is unveiled to them.
