This episode is about gods approval. We speak as men approved by God.” This is an amazing statement from Paul, a man who was known for violence and blasphemy before he knew Christ personally. When you are secure in the love of God, you can be entrusted with the gospel, and you will find that you are able to offer yourself in service and ministry to others. The approval of God is not earned but received. It does not come to you on the basis of merit, but on the basis of mercy. A life of ministry does not flow from an attempt to win the approval of God. It flows from the joy of receiving the approval of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Scripture-“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?”
2 Corinthians 13:5
