Power is from God

“We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.” [1]

Have you a hunger and thirst for God and a desire to feed others with His Word even as He feeds you? In the passage below, the Apostle Paul speaks of the grace that he received from God to help others be fellow heirs and partakers of salvation by sharing the Gospel with them. His ministry was given to him as a gift of God’s powerful and effective grace.

“For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles—if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the Gospel, of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.” [2]
