Boast of The Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Apostle Paul explains in this verse that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross and the transformation of his mind and interests because of that sacrifice, is more valuable than anything else.

Has Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross transformed you?

Do you value that transformation?

“As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died.”—Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Proclaim God’s Greatness.

“I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart. Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together.”—Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Through Jesus Christ, There Is Forgiveness For Your Sins.

In this Bible Passage, Apostle Paul proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ to people in Antioch. At the time, there were both Jews and Gentiles in the congregation, so he explained who Jesus Christ is and told them that unlike their religious laws, believing in Jesus Christ can make them right in God’s sight.

Apostle Paul’s teaching about Jesus Christ holds true even now.

““Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is made right in God’s sight—something the law of Moses could never do.”—Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭13‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Proclaim Your Knowledge and Understanding of God.

“But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the Lord, have spoken!”—Jeremiah‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Boast About The Lord.

To boast about the Lord or to glory in God is to express the joy and confidence that you have because you have God. Trusting that When God is for you and with you, you will triumph over the enemy.

“As the Scriptures say, “If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord.””—2 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We Boast In The Name of The Lord.

A nation that has God on their side will triumph. King David did not say that his nation didn’t have or use chariots and horses, but they had the Mighty and Most Powerful God, and their boast was in Him.

What you boast of signifies what you trust in or deem most valuable. What’s that for you?

For King David, in the time of war, the name of the Lord was far more valuable than chariots and horses.

“Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.”—Psalms‬ ‭20‬:‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Your Salvation Is The Will of God.

Have you seen the Son? Do you believe in Jesus?

God wants to have eternal life by faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God.

Come to Jesus today by saying this prayer:

“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You into my heart and life.”

Now, join a sound, Bible-believing and practising church. Continue to study Jesus’s words and live as He wants His followers to live.

“For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.””—John‬ ‭6‬:‭40‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

Transformed To Discern The Perfect Will of God.

Apostle Paul explains to us that it is those who have been supernaturally transformed by allowing the Holy Spirit to renew their minds, that can prove or discern God’s perfect will. Is that you?

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”—Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

God Wills Your Gratitude.

God expects us (believers in Christ Jesus) to give thanks no matter what we go through. There will be good times, there will be ordinary times, there will be bad times. God’s will is for you to give Him thanks through all of those seasons.

“in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.”—1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

God Wants You To Live Honourably.

God’s will is for you to silence the accuser by living honourably, doing right, and doing good. It’s never too late to start silencing accusers.

“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. For such is the will of God, that by doing right you silence the ignorance of foolish people.”—‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬-‭15‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

Your Sanctification Is God’s Will.

A lot of people feel attacked at the mention of holiness or “abstain from sexual immorality”. And for various reasons, many Christians avoid this topic. Yet, it plagues our society today and has for a long time.

God wants us to be sanctified and holy just like He is. When you know and believe that this is God’s will, then you know that any teaching that contradicts it is not from God.

Don’t be careful to preach about sanctification because you’ve had some struggle, don’t be silent because you don’t want someone to point at you.

It is God’s word and all need to hear it, especially those who believe. You fight on for your sanctification, which is a continuous process, and you urge others to join you on your journey of sanctification.

“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality;”—1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Align and Discern.

This scripture is insightful. To discern what is from God and what isn’t, your will needs to be aligned with God’s will. When you want to do what God wants, then what God doesn’t want will be clearer and clearer to you. Praise God.

“If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.”—John‬ ‭7‬:‭17‬ ‭ESV‬

God of The Visible and Invisible.

God created all things both visible and invisible. Yes, there is a world of invisible creations.

“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.”—Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

God’s Presence Transcends Time.

The Lord was there in the beginning, is with us still now, and will be with us in future.

““I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.””—Revelation‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

God Is Present In Nature.

Apostle Paul declares that there are no excuses for not acknowledging God’s existence because even the things we see in nature proves God’s existence and omnipresence.

“For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.”—Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The Universe Are The Work of His Hands.

The Earth and Heavens are the work of God’s hands. God knows the blueprint of the universe because the universe is the work of His hands. God’s presence is everywhere.

“And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands;”—Hebrews‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The Humble and Contrite Heart.

God declared His greatness to prophet Isaiah, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool;…” God’s presence spans the universe, and He created all that there is. He also declares that He will look upon the humble and repentant in spirit and those who obey His words with trembling (utter reverence, utmost care).

“Thus says the Lord: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.”—‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭66‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬
