EXHORTATION trough to the BOOK OF LIFE
Scripture to ponder on:
“seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue; whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.”
2 Peter 1:3-4 ASV
THE GREAT SACRIFICE #3
Beloved, by accepting Jesus and believing in His Name, you have become a child of God (John 1:12), and “And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’ So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, “You are also an heir by grace.” Galatians 4:6-7
This grace does not fall from heaven, but it remains in you and is activated by your words, not your works.
Being recreated in the image of God, who calls invisible things into existence, “I have made you a father of many nations. He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.” Romans 4:17. Beloved, Christianity is the manifestation of the Kingdom of God in the world. Unfortunately, false teachings about divine identity have allowed people to seek fame in Satan's camp. God doesn’t need your efforts to help Him bless you. When God called Abram, “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, ‘I am God Almighty.’” “Live your life in my sight and conduct yourself with integrity” Genesis 17:1. This verse worried me earlier on, because how could I live my life in God’s sight and with integrity? “and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you.” And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20
After comparing these two passages, we realized that God had asked His friend to always consider His presence with him, and His presence with Abram produced Abraham (father of multitudes). Our Redeemer Jesus Christ sent us into the world with His being within us through the Holy Spirit, to win the world through the message of reconciliation at His own expense.
My dear friend, if your Christian life is full of failure, it is because you have not understood that the Lord Jesus Christ is with you for your good. From now on, make it a habit to recognize His presence and that of the Holy Spirit continually in your life, and through perseverance, your inner being will no longer be subject to the fluctuations of the world but to the fullness of God, and you will prosper like Abraham.
Jesus’ beloved !
AMEN & AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾!!
