When we learn to think like God does, everything looks different. The purpose of the gospel is to transform our thinking, and allow us to see things from God's perspective. This is why the gospel is a revelation (Rom 1:17) -- an empowering revelation of spiritual reality!
It was a miracle! How many times have you heard someone say that? Probably hundreds of times. But they don't really mean that it was a miracle - what they really mean is that the event they witnessed was amazing, improbable, or inexplicable.
Thank God that our level of power or holiness has nothing to do with our ability to get our selves or our loved ones healed. Take the case of Peter.
In Acts 3, he used the name of Jesus to get the man lying at the Temple Gate healed. In so doing, he declared that his (Peter's) level of power or holiness had nothing to do with the healing of this helpless man.
In the following Scripture, Paul said he did not frustrate the grace of God.

When our prayers don't get answered we start to question a lot of things. But the story of the Canaanite woman from the New Testament teaches us that there is only one thing that God expects from us.
The entire context of Acts 3 and 4 is the healing of the lame man at the Temple Gate. This is the occasion of Peter's declaration that his level of power or holiness had nothing to do with it.
His actions, however, demonstrated that using Jesus' name for healing had everything to do with the healing of this helpless man.
Paul says all he wanted to know was 'Christ crucified' (I Cor 2:2). There is so much emphasis today on 'Christ coming' that this often obscures 'Christ crucified.' The Practical Gospel is all about living in the power of the cross: in 'Christ crucified.'
When Jesus talked about faith that moves mountains, it doesn't matter if the mountain was a real one or just a symbol. What He does tell us is that our faith can do a lot more than we think.
When it comes to getting what we want, we can't abandon our faith in God if things don't go the way we had planned. The key to having our prayers answered is to hold on to our faith even when things go wrong.
Jesus Christ had to be many things: the Lamb of God, the High priest, the Son of Man and so forth, as we have expounded. Every time he was seen besides God, He was shown in Action, according to the necessities of the great plan of salvation. He had to become all these things for the sake of our redemption.
The Book of Revelation (or Revelation of Jesus Christ) is arguably the most complete future installment of God ever beheld by a man and subsequently addressed to the Church.

Since Thomas Edison's invention of the modern cinema, countless filmmakers have endeavored to produce a moving picture that accurately chronicles the life and times of Jesus of Nazareth. Aside from Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, which chronicled only a part of the life and crucifixion of Jesus, Franco Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth is the greatest of all.
Some in the church in Galatia were peddling a doctrine of salvation by works. Paul asks and answers three bombshell questions of those Galatians who were trying to peddle this doctrine. These three questions and their answers stopped their salvation by works message in its tracks.
You remember, of course, that Paul believed that Jesus' blood took care of the sin problem for the human race.
