(1Co 15:1) “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;” “Which ye also received”: it is not enough to hear and believe; one must take and embrace it. Seeing the heart’s desire, the Lord honors it by giving forth the Gift of Everlasting life. That new life changes a person: (2Co_5:17) “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Have you been changed?
