Synergistic Power

It is the power of God for salvation
to everyone who has faith,
to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
(Romans 1:16b, NRS)

Good Morning,

Tim is practicing for winter soccer competition. They are dedicated to practice regardless of the weather and inconvenience. Synergistic power occurs the more they practice. Synergy occurs when two or more “agents” work together harmoniously, coordinating in action.

The Apostle Paul wrote about the synergistic power of God that works within those who believe in I Corinthians 16b:

It is the power of God: The Greek word, dunamis, is used in this passage to refer to synergizing power that works within those who receive the life-giving presence of God within their life. This power, so great it changes and transforms a life, is greater than any other power known to humanity. Individuals who receive the presence of God have the choice to work in harmony, coordinating with the indwelling power of God.

Are you experiencing the synergizing power of God today?

For salvation: Salvation necessitates an understanding of the need to be delivered or rescued. The living power of God is so great that an individual can ask to be saved from death and given eternal life. Salvation is received from God rather than achieved through human effort. The power of salvation indwells within the mind, heart, and soul of the individual that chooses to receive it. This synergizing power works against and overpowers darkness and death.

To everyone who has faith: There are no exceptions, the power of God is available to everyone and anyone. The choice to believe requires surrender to the Truth. In turn, the power of God works within the mind, heart, and soul.

Are you experiencing the synergizing power of God in faith today?

To the Jew first and also to the Greek: We are called to reach our own circle of life, community, and world. Jesus explained the message spreading from Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). The Apostle Paul loved his Jewish brothers, sharing the power of salvation.

Are you sharing the synergizing power of salvation with others today?

Learning with you to experience the synergizing power of God,
Kerrie
