Being born
again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which
liveth and abideth for ever (1 Peter 1:23).
The man in
Christ is born of the Word of God. That makes him an offspring of the Word.
James 1:18 says, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we
should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” God gave birth to you by the
Word of truth, as the first and the best of everything He made. It’s so that
you’re aware, and walk in the consciousness of your status in Christ. Continue...
Now, since
Jesus is the Word of God in flesh, it means you’re also the Word of God in
flesh. 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 says, “Ye are our epistle written in our hearts,
known and read of all men. Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the
epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit
of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.”
Did you see
that? You’ve been manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ. The epistle
of Christ is the Word of Christ—the Word of God.
Therefore,
you’re the epistle of Christ in flesh; which means you’re the Word of God in
flesh. This is the revelation of the new creation! This is the revelation of
true Christianity! True Christianity is the out-working of the Word in you.
When you talk, it’s the Word; when you act, it’s the Word. Your life is the
revelation of the Word.
Recall part
of what we read: we’re manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ, known
and read of all men. Meaning that, as they look at us, they literally can read
the Word of God. No wonder we’re the effulgence of His glory, the manifestation
of His righteousness. When we show up, Christ shows up. As He is, so are we in
this world. We make manifest the savour of His knowledge, wisdom, grace and
power, in every place. Blessed Be God!
PRAYER
Dear
Father, I thank you for making me your living epistle, known and read by all
men. My life is the revelation of your Word; your knowledge, grace, power,
wisdom and righteousness are unveiled in, and through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Study:
1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of
judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
2
Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in
Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
