In Paul's first letter to Timothy, he uncovers how the gospel not only changes our beliefs but also shapes our daily lives highlighting the practical, visible transformation that comes from living out the gospel, from how we conduct ourselves to how we lead and serve in the church. As we are “Shaped by the Gospel”, we are challenged to reflect the power of the gospel in every area of our lives, becoming living testimonies of its transforming grace.
Believing the Gospel of JESUS sets us free to be an example of HIS grace, love and power in all that we do. HE shapes us and blesses us to be a blessing to those who know about HIM and even those who don't know HIM. What a blessing to Set An Example of faith in JESUS!
