Know And Enjoy The Power Of Gospel
We know that we should believe in the promise of God and forsake ourselves, but our fallen nature does not allow us to do so easily, because the worldly achievements and glories look so desirable to our flesh, especially when everyone else is also pursuing these things. Actually, the hardest thing is not about being able to do it, forsake the world and love the Lord. Instead, the hardest thing is not knowing the gospel and thus unable to enjoy the power the gospel brings. How did people of great faith mentioned in Hebrews managed the difficulties of letting go of the world? In fact, they were truly people who lived in the power of the gospel! The power of gospel had moved and influenced them to the stage beyond what they had thought and imagined, not by having more of the world but being rich within. Do we yearn for such power? Often, we rush to prove ourselves through achieving good outcomes and conditions; but Christ manifest the greatest power by submitting to the Father’s will. Therefore, know the power you’re seeking today. Keep looking to Jesus and experience the change of heart. As you confirm the differences of the worldly's and God’s power, you will be increasingly thankful for the godly training God leads you in, because through it you’ll restore the glorious image of God to the fullest and enjoy the joy of an evangelist.

Now, Choose Life Over Death
Truly, there are two ways put before us when the Gospel is presented to us. There is simply no sitting on the fence. When the Gospel truth comes to us, our heart will virtually choose something, for the better or for worse. Either we yield our sovereignty to God (from the Gospel we have heard), or we continue to hold on to our own sovereignty. Or either we subconsciously yield our will to obey His revealed will or we turn away from it. Even if we remain indifferent, that is already a choice. So the Gospel is of life and death, blessings and curses. So choose life over death each time you hear His life-giving word.
