Welcome To BARAH MINISTRIES
a Christian Church
“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”
a different look
My “I life” was crucified with the Lord Jesus Christ”
And it is no longer the “I life” that lives
It is the Christ life that lives indwelling me
a different look
And the Christ Life (the Zoe Life) I now live in the flesh (in my body)
I live by faith alone in the Son of God alone (in total dependence on Him)
…the One who loves me unconditionally…
…and who gave Himself up for me.

Romans Chapter 1- The Introduction to the Letter: Final Quiz
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles —
…if (1) indeed you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace which was given to me for you (and you have)…
…that by revelation there was made known to me (by God for your benefit) the mystery (doctrines of the Church Age), as I wrote before in brief.
By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery (doctrine) of (the indwelling) Christ (the Messiah)…
…which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit (en Pneumati…to those with the indwelling Spirit)…
…to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the BODY (OF CHRIST), and (the Gentiles are) fellow partakers of the promise in (union with) Christ Jesus through the gospel (message)…
…of which (gospel message) I (Paul) was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace which was given to me according to the working of His (enabling) power.
To me (Paul), the very least of all saints (believers in Christ), this grace was given (to me by God), to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ…
…and to bring to light what is the administration (oikonomia…dispensation) of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in (THE) God (the Lord Jesus Christ) who created (the) all things ()…
…so that the manifold wisdom of God (the Father) might now be made known through the church (age believer) to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me (with enabling power), because He considered me faithful, putting me into (His) service…
…even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor (of the Church) and a violent aggressor (against Christians). Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief…
…and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and (unconditional) love which are found in (union with) Christ Jesus.
It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that (the Lord) Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.
Yet for this reason I (Paul) found mercy, so that in me as the foremost (sinner), (the Lord) Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.
