Epistles of God

October 2, 2023 by memullin

As a believer in Adonai, I am a communication from God. (2 Corinthians 3:2-3) He writes a letter to me on my heart, but at the same time, He is writing a letter to those around me. It is His love letter to them. I am the ambassador, bringing the message of hope and restoration to them. (2 Corinthians 5:20) The message is His. The heart is His. The life is His. For it is as true of me as it was of the Apostle Paul who wrote, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)

As a living epistle, I evidence the completed covenant Adonai made to put His Torah within us, and “write it on [our] hearts.” (Jeremiah 31:33) It is important to remember that despite what it may sometimes appear, my flesh and the adversary have no access to edit the letter Adonai is writing on my heart. He alone is the “author and finisher.” (Hebrews 12:2)

If I accept these assertions of scripture, then I must ask, “What is my life saying?” “What is God saying through me to those around me?” It is also important to ask, “What is God saying to me –what is the content of the letter He is writing on my heart?” The answer may be more than I want–it might be greater than I can understand. Remember that Adonai knows how to write epic stories. He wrote Esther from captive to Queen. He wrote David from shepherd boy to King. He wrote Joseph from slave to second to Pharoah. He wrote Saul from killer to apostle.

Adonai wants to write on our lives that we might seek to know our Author and receive the goodness He has promised. He writes, so that as His epistles, we might be read of all men-as a witness to the manifold glory of God.

 

It is our desire to help you grow in your knowledge of Adonai and His Word. If you are looking for additional information and/or materials, please visit our website at RootedinHisWord.org and our Facebook page.
