The 7 Remnants in the Bible ̊ enjoyed the answer and blessing of uniqueness that Jesus is the Christ. Paul enjoyed the Gospel no matter what kind of situation he was in. Crosby was blind, but she composed the greatest lyrics. Mueller made the greatest orphanage in the world and preached the Gospel. What is the blessing and answer of uniqueness that the people of the Gospel enjoyed on a daily basis?
1. Uniqueness of the Gospel
As we live our lives, the thing we need the most is the uniqueness of the Gospel. The 7 Remnants in the Bible enjoyed the uniqueness of prayer in their difficulties. If Joseph had not gone as a slave and had grown up under the care of his father, the world evangelization would not have happened. If the Early Church had not been persecuted, the door of the world evangelization would not have opened. No matter what kind of hardship comes, the Gospel is the unique mystery that saves the desperate world. Holding onto the uniqueness of the Gospel is the key to receiving answers.
2. Blessing of uniqueness
Because those who have the Gospel are children of God, a great many blessings are already prepared in our future. If we change what have been incorrectly imprinted in us and imprint the Word through the Gospel in our hearts, the doors of blessings will open. Then, we will constantly think about the Gospel and preach the Gospel. God gives the blessing of uniqueness to conquer the world to those who accurately preach the Gospel in the field.
3. Answer of uniqueness
There is something that God has prepared for those who have the Gospel. No one knew that Joseph would become the governor. Moses was a fugitive on the run; no one could possibly have imagined that he would be used to bring about miracles in Egypt. Even Paul who reformed the culture was originally a persecutor of believers. All these were possible because these individuals realized the answer of uniqueness that God gave. We come to know what kind of work God has prepared for us when we hold onto the answer of uniqueness that God would carry out.
