Thursday: Those who believe are of the spiritual lineage of Abraham, and are his children by faith. Friday: The sending of the Spirit on the Gentiles is the confirming sign of God’s election of the Gentiles to faith. Saturday: Our Father God calls all people to receive his free salvation through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray without Ceasing – Flash Prayer for the Day Father, you have granted to the Gentiles, as well as to the Jews, the repentance that leads to eternal life. Weekly Reflection on the Priesthood of All Believers To discover the real meanings of our priestly nature we need to take a fresh look at the Bible and be willing to realign our thinking with what we find. Centuries before Martin Luther and other Reformation leaders began promoting the concept we know today as the universal priesthood or priesthood of all believers, Moses (Exodus 19:5-6), Peter (1 Peter 2:5-9), and John (Rev. 5:10, 20:6) had already been teaching it. This doctrine is not the sole domain of Protestants. The Roman Catholic Church and other Christian traditions make allowance for this doctrine. For Your Weekly Journey
