THE SON OF GOD REVEALED IN US
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace, to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood._Galatians 1:15-16
It is a blessed experience to receive a revelation from God. Many times we read a Scripture and glance over a simple article that can change our lives forever. Paul’s testimony in the above Scripture opened up a new and living way within. For a long time my mind incorrectly processed the part where Paul said he was called by God’s grace “to reveal His Son in me.” I heard “reveal His Son to me”. “To” instead of “in.” So far off the mark! Now I am certain of what it means for God to reveal His Son IN ME!
There is a work of righteousness going on within us. The carnal mind is sensual and always wants to see the external first. God’s ways and thoughts are not ours. All that Christ exacted for us in His Cross is being worked in us by the Spirit just as Bezaleel worked in wisdom to do the cunning works of God for the high priest’s garments and the Tabernacle of Moses. The Spirit of Truth teaches us that we are being conformed to Christ’s Image (Romans 8:29). God is Spirit, and He is fully expressed in His Son Whose Body we are. Be encouraged and be patient as His work is being performed to reveal His Son in you!
