"For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel. For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ." Galatians 2
I desire Paul's perspective and experience.
I was taught the gospel. In the church, in private school, in leadership training and through ministry opportunities. This can prevent me from truly & consistently experiencing it. At one point I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ, but too often my Biblical education causes me to slip into religion.
I don't let the gospel change my marriage, work ethic, attitude, mood, friendships or time. It becomes something that is past tense. "I learned the gospel. I was taught it. It changed me."
I want to keep learning, I want Jesus to keep teaching me and I want to always be changing.
