My message and my
preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of
the Spirit’s power. 1 Corinthians 2:4
I sometimes have a hard time expressing myself during a
conversation; I actually prefer to
collect my thoughts and then write them down.
It’s hard to imagine the apostle Paul, the author of most of the New
Testament, as a weak, fearful, and trembling kinda guy, but that’s exactly how
he viewed himself. He must have been
much more impressive in written word than he was in person, regardless, people
became believers not because of how Paul delivered the gospel to others, but
because of God supernaturally proving His own truth.
You see, God’s power alone doesn't convince anyone to
believe the gospel. Jesus performed many
miracles during His earthly ministry, and many that witnessed still refused to
believe. There is no amount of
persuasion or wise tactics that will ultimately impact another person’s life,
it all comes down to our witness to others and when people can see us trusting
in Christ.
A believer who reflects such a trust will always be
accompanied by God’s mighty power and there is nothing else like it that can
change lives!
