Pay It Forward

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

Ephesians 3:17-19 "May Christ dwell in your hearts through faith, and may love be the root and foundation of your life. Thus you will be able to grasp fully, with all the holy ones, the length, breadth, depth, and height of Christ's love and experience this love which surpasses all knowledge, so that you may attain to the fullness of God Himself."

To know Christ is to know and understand godly wisdom. Because wisdom starts with Jesus, it is necessary to first enter into a personal relationship with Him.    

Since we have access to wisdom through faith in Jesus, then it is wise to lean into understanding His ways. We can anticipate—like a starved man or woman coming off of a ten-day hunger strike—a smorgasbord of truth at our disposal. His wisdom is rich in relational nutrients, spiritual nourishment and emotional energy. 


As the personification of wisdom we look and see a Man who unconditionally loved people. He loved the rich and the poor—He loved all races—He loved male and female alike—He loved city folks and country dwellers—the educated and uneducated felt His fierce love—Kings and commoners did not escape His all-consuming compassion.


Once we discover His freeing truth, we are responsible to pay it forward by faith to other hungry hearts.
