The apostle Paul writes to the Christians in Corinth concerning what is expected of one who would seek to be a witness to faith in Jesus Christ in this world. We continue reading in his second letter in chapter 4, verses 13-14:  It is written:  ‘I believed; therefore I have spoken.’ We have been taught to watch what we say—and rightly so. The spoken word will always bear the fruit behind what is said, and that can hurt.

When we give our lives into the care and keeping of Father God it changes everything about us. What we speak thereafter brings life, joy, peace, power, and hope:  With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, It is our faith which recreates what is rooted by what we speak into being in this life. We begin to say what we believe as truth because of our faith in Jesus Christ, and the power of his love.

We feel a freedom to speak God’s truth because of what he’s spoken into our lives has borne the fruit of all that is good in him, and:  because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead; We have access to the power of the God of heaven and earth, and are now able to speak that power into the life of one to whom we have been sent, and for whom we seek everything good the Lord offers to us.

As a result of our speaking God’s wonderful and recreating truth into the lives of those we love, the height, width, length, and breadth of the God’s Kingdom is multiplied:  will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. Jesus will unite with us and with those we bring to him in love as he stands before our Father God in heaven—and the Kingdom of God expands because of our commitment to love!
