“This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.” Colossians 1:6 NLT
Hearing the gospel is one thing, but understanding it is what brings about real change. To understand means: to achieve a grasp of the nature, significance, or explanation of something. That revelation or realisation causes a response of worship that changes my perspective, changes my direction, changes my priority and purpose, changes my reason for living, and changes how I live! When you understand how loved you are by God, how much He paid to ransom you from captivity, how much you have been forgiven, and the freedom you can have in Christ, things cannot stay the same! Lord, I’m praying for understanding today, may we not only hear the good news afresh, but give us fresh understanding! Soften our hearts, renew our minds, and change our lives. Amen 🙌🏼🙏🏼
