Who Do You Think You Are?

Who Are You? Accepting Your True Identity


http://frankviola.org/2013/02/25/whoareyou/


In Revise Us Again, I argued at length that the Christian life is becoming who you already are.

In Ephesians, Paul says two times to “speak the truth in love” to one another. In context, Paul is exhorting God’s people to remind one another of who they are in Christ . . . to remind one another about the new self into which they have been made . . . to remind one another of their true identity. Something that’s all too easy to forget.

If you have received Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, here’s a list of who you really are.  Marvel at the epic greatness of your Lord and what He has done for you.

Receive it, remember it, and walk in it . . .

CHRISTIAN LIFE IS A JOURNEY


Christian Life is a Journey

304610_417158081654442_395163140_n

journey2

“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6).

Do you sometimes feel as though you are not making any progress in your spiritual life?  The life of a Christian is a journey.  We have a supernatural, proficient guide and map in the Spirit-inspired Scriptures, but we face distinct temptations and trials.  We know we have been saved by faith in Christ and have heaven as our sure destination, but the intervening pilgrimage is unique.  We need God’s help.

68488_10151151034482903_1524150710_n

I do not know where you are on your personal journey.  Perhaps you are exhausted and spent.  Maybe you have recently experienced significant growth, or you may have settled on a comfortable plateau because of an uncertain future.  But I do know this: God wants you and me to enjoy and complete the journey.  He has pledged Himself to finish the good work He began in us at salvation and will keep us strong until the end.

As with the Philippians, God will help us grow in grace until He has completed His work in our lives.  The God who began a good work in us continues it throughout our lifetime and will finish it when we meet Him face to face.  God’s work for us began when Christ died on the cross in our place.  His work in us began when we first believed.  Now the Holy Spirit lives in us, enabling us to be more like Christ every day.

Great confidence gripped the apostle as he thought and prayed for the body of Christ.  Paul guaranteed the believers that God would consider them “blameless” when Christ returns (1 Corinthians 1:8-9).  This guarantee was not because of their great gifts or shining performance, but because of what Jesus Christ accomplished in them through His death and resurrection.  It was God’s work, not theirs, so Paul had no question about the outcome.  All who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ will be considered blameless when Jesus returns (1 Thessalonians 3:13; Hebrews 9:28).  If you have faith in Christ, even if it is weak, you are and will be saved.  All believers are justified by God’s grace and stand before Him “blameless” (“free from accusation”).

If you are feeling discouraged, remember God won’t give up on you.  If you are feeling incomplete, unfinished, or distressed by your shortcomings, remember God’s promise and provision.  Don’t let your present condition rob you of the joy of knowing Christ or keep you from growing closer to Him.  God will most certainly continue on to completion the good work He began in us!

THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO HEAVEN-BE SURE ARE YOU READY TO MEET HIM?ARE YOU SURE?


ARE YOU TRULY SAVED FROM THE SHED BLOOD OF JESUS?ARE YOU SURE YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED BY HIS BLOOD?ARE YOU SURE YOU WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE AND IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN AND LIVE WITH GOD FOREVER? ARE YOU SURE? WHY DON’T YOU TAKE THE TIME AND READ BELOW AND BE SURE OF YOUR FUTURE.GOD WANTS YOU TO BE SURE.

The Bible says;

” I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.” 1 John 5:13

Another question to consider is: Suppose you were standing before God right now and He asked you, ” Why should I let you into My heaven?” What do you think you would say?

You may not know what you would say. But… You can know, becauseGod loves you and has a purpose for your life. The Bible Says;” For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16


GOD”S PURPOSE IS THAT WE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.* We receive eternal life as a free gift.” For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6: 23* We can live a full and meaningful life right now.” A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance. John 10:10* We will spend eternity with Jesus in Heaven.” If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also.” John 14:3

ETERNAL LIFE GIVES MEANING TO LIFE. Yet… Our sinful nature keeps us from fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives.

OUR NEED IS TO UNDERSTAND OUR PROBLEM.* We are all sinners by nature and by choice.” For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23* We cannot save ourselves.” not from works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:9* We deserve death.” For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23It is true that: God is holy and just and must punish sin, yet He loves us and has provided forgiveness for our sin. Jesus said,” I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”The good news is that God has provided for the forgiveness of our sins.


GOD’S PROVISION IS JESUS CHRIST* Jesus is God and became man.” In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1″ The Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We observed His glory, the glory as the One and Only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 * Jesus died for us on the cross.” For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring you to God, after being put to death in the fleshly realm but made alive in the spiritual realm.” 1 Peter 3:18 * Jesus was resurrected from the dead. Romans 4:25″He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.”

That is good news, but the only way Jesus can affect our lives is for us to receive Him. The Bible says;” But to all who did receive Him, He gave them the right to be children of God, to those who believe in His name,” John 1:12 The choice is ours. Thus…

OUR RESPONSE IS TO RECEIVE JESUS. It is as simple as A-B-C

A.ADMIT- Admit to God that you are a sinner. Repent, turning away from your sin toward God. The Bible says in Acts 3:19;” Therefore repent and turn back, that your sins may be wiped out so that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,” Repentence is not just feeling sorry for our sin. Acts 26:20″ Instead, I preached to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem and in all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works worthy of repentance.”

B. BELIEVE - Believe. By faith receive Jesus Christ as God’s Son and accept Jesus’ gift of forgiveness from sin.” For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift–” Ephesians 2:8.* Faith is not just believing facts about Jesus.” You believe that God is one; you do well. The demons also believe–and they shudder.” James 2:19* Faith is trusting in Jesus

C. CONFESS - Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.” If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9″ if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. With the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.” Romans 10:9-10

THREE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:* Does what you have been reading make sense to you?* Is there any reason you would not be willing to receive God’s gift of eternal life?* Are you willing to turn from your sin and place your faith in Jesus right now? The Bible says in Romans 10:13;” For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

YOU NEED TO ASK THE LORD JESUS TO SAVE YOU.Read this prayer and see if it says what you want to say to God.

” God, I know that Jesus is Your Son, and that He died on the cross and was raised from the dead. I know I have sinned and need forgiveness. I am willing to turn from my sins and turn toward You, and through faith in His death and resurrection I ask to receive Jesus as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.”

Call on the Lord in repentance and faith, using these or similar words of your own, and if you sincerly prayed this prayer from your heart, Jesus will become your Savior and Lord. The Master of your life.

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD As evidence of confessing Jesus as Lord, you will want to identify with Him. The New Testament way of identification is to confess Jesus publicly and to follow Him in baptism and church membership. The Bible says in Matthew 10:32-33;” Therefore, everyone who will acknowledge Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.”" So those who accepted his message were baptized,” Acts 2:41″ Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life.” Romans 6:4

YOUR ASSURANCE YOU KNOW YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE Because…* God keeps His Promises. The Bible says in Ephesians 2: 8-9″ For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift– not from works, so that no one can boast.” * God heard your prayer. The Bible says in Romans 10:13;” For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”* God recorded your commitment. Jesus says in Luke 10:20;” However, don’t rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

GOD BLESS YOU AS A CHILD OF GOD
Praise The Lord ††† Amen!

DAYS OF PRAISE -TOGETHER IN CHRIST- Institute for Creation Research


Together in Christ

 “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20)

 This is a wonderful promise. Whether believers come together in church or a home Bible study or even just two together (like husband and wife) to fellowship around the name of the Lord Jesus, He is there also!

 The Scriptures often speak of our togetherness with Him and therefore with one another. When we followed Him in baptism, we were “planted together in the likeness of his death” (Romans 6:5). Similarly, when He rose from the dead, God “hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:5-6). One day, we are told, “if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” (Romans 8:17).

 In our Christian walk right now, we are being “fitly framed together” as a “holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit” (Ephesians 2:21-22). We ought, therefore, to be “knit together in love” (Colossians 2:2), “perfectly joined together in the same mind” (1 Corinthians 1:10), and “striving together for the faith of the gospel” (Philippians 1:27).

 Then one day, when Christ returns and the dead in Christ are raised, “we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

 So, when we are together with Him, through the indwelling Spirit of Christ, whether in a congregation of thousands, or just together with one or two Christian companions, we rejoice in His presence, for He is our mighty Creator, our loving Savior, our caring Comforter, our unerring Guide, and our soon-coming King.

DAYS OF PRAISE-WITH CHRIST-Institute for Creation Research


Days of<br />
Praise” border=”0″ hspace=”0″ /></a></p>
<h1 id= 
With Christ
July 23, 2012

 “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” (Romans 8:17)

 One of the greatest doctrines of the Christian faith is the identification of Christ with His people in all the key events of His great work of salvation. For example, we are considered by God as dying with Him since He died for us. As Paul said, “I am crucified with Christ” (Galatians 2:20).

 Furthermore, when Christ was buried, we were in effect buried also. “We are buried with him by baptism into death” (Romans 6:4). Then we are also resurrected with Christ. “Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead” (Colossians 2:12).

 But that is only the beginning of our great salvation. Christ then ascended to heaven, sat down on the right hand of the Father, and we are there with Him! “God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ. . . . And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:4-6).

 Not even is this the end, for we are joint-heirs with Christ, as our text assures us. He has been “appointed heir of all things” (Hebrews 1:2), and we share His inheritance. “It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him” (2 Timothy 2:11-12).

 Identified with Christ in His suffering, His death, His burial, His resurrection, His ascension, and then in His eternal reign! This is our position by faith. When He returns, it will become actuality, “and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

CELEBRATE International Children’s Day with Inspirational Bible Verses For Children

Celebrate International Children’s Day with Inspirational Bible Verses For Children


via www.kidstalkaboutgod.org On this same website, more resources:

You can’t be with your kids 24/7. God can. Help them memorize inspirational Bible verses for children, and they will carry God’s Word wherever they go.

We all want our children to form good habits, such as brushing their teeth, being polite, and doing their homework. But memorizing inspirational Bible verses should become a good habit, too. Teaching your kids this discipline is one of the greatest gifts you could give them.

Habits are powerful. The earlier you establish them, the better they’ll stick. For example, your mom probably taught you to brush your teeth when you were a young child. Once you’re an adult, how often do you forget to brush your teeth? It’s just part of your routine, isn’t it?

“Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6; NKJV).

I am gentle and humble in spirit. And you will find rest for your souls. Yes, the work that I ask you to accept is easy. The burden I give you to carry is not heavy.” Matthew 11:28-30 “But the Lord said to me, ‘My grace (kindness) is enough for you. When you are weak, then my power is made perfect in you.’ So I am very happy to boast about my weaknesses. Then Christ’s power can live in me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 “People who think they are better than other people only cause trouble. But people who listen to the things other people tell them are wise.” Proverbs 13:10 “When you do things, don’t let selfishness or pride be your guide. Be humble and give more honor to other people than to yourselves. Don’t be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of other people, too.” Philippians 2:3-4 “But people that trust the Lord become strong again like eagles that grow new feathers. These people run without becoming weak. These people walk without becoming tired.” Isaiah 40:31 “When you talk, don’t say any bad things. But say things that people need–things that will help other people become stronger. Then the things you say will help the people who listen to you.” Ephesians 4:29 “My dear brothers and sisters, always be more willing to listen than to speak. Don’t become angry easily. A person’s anger does not help him live right like God wants.” James 1:19-20 “Without faith, a person cannot please God. Any person who comes to God must believe that God is real. And any person who comes to God must believe that God rewards those people who truly want to find him.” Hebrews 11:6 “Jesus continued to say to all of them, ‘If any person wants to follow me, he must say “No” to the things he wants. That person must accept the cross (suffering) that is given to him every day, and he must follow me.’” Luke 9:23 “That goodness will bring peace and safety forever.” Isaiah 32:17 “God satisfies the thirsty soul. God fills the hungry soul with good things.” Psalm 107:9 “Always remember these commands that I give you today. Be sure to teach them to your children. Talk about these commands when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road. Talk about them when you lie down and when you get up.” Deuteronomy 6:6-7 “Don’t be fooled: You cannot cheat God. A person harvests only the things he plants.” Galatians 6:7 “I say this because I know the plans that I have for you.” This message is from the Lord. “I have good plans for you. I don’t plan to hurt you. I plan to give you hope and a good future.” Jeremiah 29:11 “Children, obey your parents the way the Lord wants. That is the right thing to do. The command says, ‘You must honor (respect) your father and mother.’ That is the first command that has a promise with it. That promise is: ‘Then everything will be fine with you. And you will have a long life on the earth.’” Ephesians 6:1-3 “Children are a gift from the Lord. They are a reward from a mother’s body.” Psalm 127:3 “I tell you the truth. You must accept the kingdom of God like a little child accepts things, or you will never enter it.” Mark 10:15 “If a person accepts children like these in my name, then that person is also accepting me. And if a person accepts me, then that person is also accepting the One (God) that sent me.” Mark 9:37
