Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:3 ESV For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
Paul shared here in 1 Corinthians 15 that he was giving away what he had received in Christ. Shouldn’t we give away what we have received?
Christ’s death and our story of redemption is enough. Many times we feel unworthy, like Paul, and are afraid to witness to others because we think we need to be biblical scholars or masters of apologetics. This is not the case; we just need to give away what Christ has given us.
Just as Paul we too can say “by the grace of God, I am what I am” and allow Christ’s grace to work through us. Our sharing will not be in vain. If you have received Christ’s grace give it to others.
Hold fast to the Word and experiences you have received and deliver them to others.
Are you willing to give away what you have been given?
Today’s Prayer: LORD, thank You for the life and testimony of Jesus. Thank You Jesus for dying for me and for giving me grace. Use my testimony Father to bring to life Your gospel for those You place in my path. Give me the courage over death to give Your life. Amen

Affirmations of God
Hi Tom: The Lord told me a long time ago, “You are not like the Dead Sea..” (Receive but don’t pass on.) I do believe that’s your message, too. 🙂
Yes Sue, thank you, what a great analogy. His blessings to us should not die with us. God has revealed His grace to us and we can share His grace with others. Sharing who He is so they too may know Him. Let’s pass Him along.
