Who is Jesus for you !

EXHORTATION through the BOOK OF LIFE

Scripture to ponder on:

“For the grace of God has appeared that brings salvation to all men, teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live self-controlled, righteous, and godly lives in this present age.”

Titus 2:11-12 NKJV

🫅🏾🫅WHO IS JESUS ​​CHRIST FOR YOU!🫅🏾🫅

Beloved, each person's life is defined by their identity, manifested by their character, and translated by their actions.

After Adam and Eve succumbed to Satan's pressure, forgetting that this serpent was named by Adam and that they had dominion over it (Gen. 3:1-6 / 1:26-27), they received its nature. 1 Corinthians 6:16. Their descendants received the same nature, and you and I have inherited that nature. And therefore, we seek solutions through our own efforts, as Adam did to protect their nakedness.

Then God, in His love for you and me, gave us His only begotten Son so that by believing in Him, we could become a children of God, have our sins forgiven, and redeemed from the kingdom of darkness by His blood into the kingdom of His beloved Son (John 3:16-18 / Colossians 1:13-14).

Today's verse refers to the personification of the work accomplished by Jesus, which we call grace (God's unmerited favor). Let's take a concrete example: you parked your car in a paid parking lot and your time expired. Upon arrival, the payment system gives you free time to retrieve your vehicle. This is exactly what the word grace means.

After your acceptance of Jesus, the Holy Spirit places within you all the attributes of Jesus, not only when He was in person in the world, but also as He is seated at the right hand of the Father (John 14:12).

Now what do you do during the time of grace with your car? You quickly take care to retrieve it and go about your business with joy. Let us return to the work that our Lord Jesus accomplished in making us new creatures. In order to fully benefit from this new nature, you must rely on the accomplishment that allowed you to be a new creature in all your endeavors, and you will be successful.

This is why Jesus is for you this grace that allows you to live in this world as new creatures in Him.

Jesus’ beloved !
