2. Anchor Your Identity in the Lamb of God

Since Jesus Christ removes sin, you no longer live under the weight of past failures or public shame.

3. Expect the Holy Spirit to Bring New Beginnings

New birth is the Spirit’s work. Expect Him to create fresh possibilities in areas that seem barren.

4. Live as a Visible Testimony of God’s Redemption

Psalm 98 shows that God’s works are meant to be seen. Let your life reflect His Salvation in conduct, compassion, and courage.

5. Embrace the Impossible as God’s Canvas

John 3 reveals that God specialises in what human strength cannot achieve. Trust Him with the areas that seem beyond repair.

4. DISTINCTIVE LESSONS FOR THE PENTECOSTAL CHRISTIAN

A. Worship Is a Response to God’s Creative Acts

Pentecostal worship aligns with Psalm 98—joyful, expressive, and rooted in the marvels of The LORD.

B. The Holy Spirit Is Central to Redemption

John 1 and John 3 emphasise the Spirit’s role in identity, empowerment, and new birth.

C. The Lamb of God Is the Foundation of Pentecostal Faith

Pentecostal experience flows from the finished work of Jesus Christ, the Lamb who removes sin.

D. New Birth Is the Gateway to Spirit-Filled Living

Pentecostal life begins with the transformation described in John 3.

E. Redemption Is Both Personal and Public

Pentecostal testimony is not private. It is a visible witness of God’s Saving Power, just as Psalm 98 declares.
