The righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith Romans 1: 17 The Christian life is like a school. Paul describes going from grade to grade as going from "Faith to Faith". In the school of faith, the Holy Spirit is the teacher and the Bible the textbook. If we study God's word well and apply ourselves to prayer and witness. By the Saviours grace we can move up through the grades or steps of faith by the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. Sometimes doors can be closed to us and we remain in the same grade as we need to learn patience and seek God's as he tests and tries us. May we not be workers who are ashamed of the gospel of Christ. We will find him in the pages of his word, in nature and our everyday life. We also need to stay full of his holy spirit. But we all with unveiled faces, beholding as in a mirror The Glory of the Lord and being transformed into the same image from glory to glory. Just as by the Spirit of the Lord 2 Corinthians 3: 18 I find it awesome and wonderful that we are made in God's own image. What an honour and a privilege that he should make us a little lower than the angels and make us stewards of his earth. What an amazing and wonderful God we have. King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Thanks be to God for his Love and his salvation through my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ may we rejoice in him and in our salvation. By June Davis
