Featured Reflection

CONFESSIONS OF A MADE MAN: THE NEW MAN HAS A NEW LANGUAGE

The new birth gave me a new identity. The Word renews my mind to that identity. and confession gives that identity a voice. . We have been talking about the confessions of a made man. We looked at Abraham. God said to Abram: Romans 4:17 KJV “(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.”

God spoke first. “I have made thee.” Abram heard what God said. Abram believed what God said. And Abram began identifying himself according to what God said. His confession didn't make him Abraham. God made him Abraham. His confession was the language of an identity he had received from God. Read more at Partner Monthly Digital Magazine.
