4. The Revelation of Jesus

Everything God has revealed about Himself can only be understood through Jesus’ life, teaching, death, burial, and resurrection. Learning to apply this revelation knowledge to our lives is preceded first by experiencing it in our hearts. God revealed His Son to the apostle Paul first, as he meditated on Old Testament Scriptures about the Messiah (Gal. 1:16-17). After Paul brought this to life in his own heart, he was set apart into his apostolic ministry. One reason the early apostles changed the whole world was that they followed this same process. They knew the Word of God, experienced that Word in their hearts, learned how to live it, and then they showed it to the world. You, too, can change the world just like they did when you first experience God in your heart as Jesus has revealed Him to be.
