Mystery of Godliness

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

The mystery of Godliness is revealed in Christ to those that believe. For God has hidden this from the wise and made known His ways to the simple.

When the revelatory knowledge of God's sovereignty comes to a man, it brings justification. This is the first benefit as a result of repentance and a decision to abide in Christ.

It's so amazing, because everything we enjoy today as believers was modeled in Christ. He's our first fruit for justification from sin. Thus, as followers, we can't be misled, for Jesus is the way.

Are you justified? Is the presence of Christ and His righteousness real to you? Do you have an intimacy with the Master?

When you are justified the evidence is clearly seen by all. The timidity of guilt and condemnation vanish by default and the boldness of a lion takes over completely.

Take a step to speak in that boldness if you are justified. Run to Jesus for a cleansing if you are not justified.

The time to be separated to Christ is now!

Let's pray together.
Dear Father, thank you for justifying us in Christ Jesus. Please use us to save our world from condemnation, deliver the perishing, in Jesus name. Amen.
