EXHORTATION through the BOOK of LIFE
Scripture to ponder on:
“In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned: in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or unique [Son], into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins.”
1 John 4:9-10 AMPC
*IT'S NO LONGER I WHO LIVES*
The greatest challenge of your flesh is to die so that the Holy Spirit will through your spirit manifests the character of God.
This can only happen through your recognition of God's love for you despite your sins. The Word states that: “Indeed, when we were still without strength, Christ, in his time, died for the ungodly. But this is how God highlights his love for us: Christ died for us when we were still sinners.” (Romans 5:6, 8) So you are dead and your life is hidden with Christ in God. (Col 3:3)
You see, your only action is to believe and grow in the revelation of your identity in Christ on a daily basis, to benefit freely from the redemption that is ours in Jesus Christ.
Unfortunately, some well-intentioned Christians suffer the same calamities as those of the world who are without God. And when a man advises them to do some ephemeral thing twice a day, they gladly obey. Beloved it takes 21 (twenty-one) days to replace a belief in your head, so get to work to align your thoughts with the reality of your identity in Christ by declaring on a daily basis "it is no longer I who lives, it is Christ who lives in me; my life present in the flesh, I live it in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and who gave himself for me."( Galatians 2:20); I am dead and my life is hidden with Christ in God!
My advice to you is this: make Galatians 2:20 and Colossians 3:3 your meditation throughout your day!
Jesus’ beloved !
AMEN & AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾!!
