Blessed

By Dennis Acott

Part 1 of this book, 'Enabled to Be, ' explores both the biblical identity and the developing characteristics of the Christian, inspired by the beatitudes in Matthew 5. This is the foundation for part 2, 'Equipped to Do, ' in which Dennis highlights different ways in which God calls us to emulate the life and works of Jesus in our own individual circumstances. He is convinced that we are not born again to sit patiently in 'God's waiting room' until we 'go home'. We are enabled and equipped to step out in faith to make a difference while we are here on earth. He believes passionately that the gifts of the spirit are the contents of the toolbox God has provided each of us with for our part in his kingdom coming and his will being done on earth as it is in heaven. Furthermore, that the actions and fruit of such endeavours not only confound the idea that the Christian life is boring, but also result in the fruit of the spirit being displayed through us as our character is moulded to become increasingly more like that of our Saviour. He loves to quote scriptures like Matthew 10:7-8, Matthew 28:18-20, and John 14:12 to provide both inspiration and encouragement for us all to realise how much we have been blessed through the amazing grace of God both to be and to do.
