” For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.” (1 Corinthians 15:3-10 ESV)
Paul the Apostle speaks the Truth and fullness of the Gospel clearly in these verses. Firstly, the importance of the reason for JESUS fulfilling the written Word by HIS coming to die for our sins and HIS Resurrection for our Salvation. Secondly, the truth of HIS appearing to so many afterward. Not only did HE appear to many but also HE did for many days afterward. Actually, it was for 40 days before HIS Ascension into heaven, of which was also witnessed. Thirdly, when you come to the knowledge of WHO HE IS, and receive HIS Salvation and the commission for your life, HE will use you for HIS Glory. HE will do Great things with you and through you, for HE IS Alive in you. Praise Be to HIS NAME Fovever!
When you witness events in life, this is a truth that can be told. I am sure there are several examples in each of your own lives where you witnessed an event. In the case of witnessing an event where The LORD IS involved, this is a supernatural event, and many may question it. However, this does not change it’s truth. It is truth for HE IS Truth.
In my case, GOD revealed HIS Face and Long Arm to save me from an accident many years ago. What is your story? HE reveals HIMSELF to many in many ways. This has always been and will always be. One day HE will reveal HIMSELF to everyone, when HE returns to bring HIS Church home. It will be undeniable when HE returns. But you may miss your opportunity to spend eternity with HIM if you wait. Accept HIM now and be assured of your heavenly home. This is why it is so important to humble your heart and seek HIM now to be the LORD of your life. It only takes your faith to ask HIM to forgive you of all your sins, both known and unknown, and to come into your heart. Then thank HIM for doing it, then profess your salvation experience with others . This is a very important step. Testify of GOD’S Way. Grow in the knowledge of HIM by reading HIS WORD and find a Bible believing and teaching Church to grow in fellowship with others and in your love for all.
If you expect to be able to explain with science how miraculous events can happen, you will not succeed. GOD existed before mankind’s creation. HE cannot be explained in scientific terms. HE created the minds that try to figure this out. HIS ways are above our ways and HIS thoughts are above our thoughts.
It all boils down to the fact that HE IS GOD and that the GOD WHO created you, wants a true relationship with you. HIS Love is undescribable, unimaginably, amazing and overwhelming.
Submit your heart to HIM today and be changed continually until HE returns or until HE calls you home. HE IS a Good, Good FATHER! Be Blessed in JESUS NAME. AMEN.
God's Long Arm
