“What Are We To Be In Christ?
- We are to be believers in Christ. We receive the Spirit by faith (Galatians 3:14).
- We are to be followers of Christ. We are to live the life of a disciple. We must always remember that “faith without works is dead” (James 2:17). True faith expresses itself in a changed life - “I will show you my faith by what I do” (James 2:18).
The Holy Spirit Comes from God. The Holy Spirit Changes Us.
(i) The Holy Spirit comes from God.
- “He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire” (Luke 3:16).
(ii) The Holy Spirit changes us.
- “Through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:1-4).
- “When the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you shall be My witnesses” (Acts 1:8).
The Most High God, The Redeemer
Psa 78:35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
Psa 78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
Psa 78:37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
Psa 78:38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
Psa 78:39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
Is He Your Most High God, The God Your Redeemer Who Is Full Of Compassion And Forgiveness? If Not, Seek Him and You Will Find Him, Knock and The Door Will Be Opened Unto You.
Get Ready For The Lord's Return.
Luke 12:35-59
Get ready for the Lord's return (Luke 12:40). We pray "Thy Kingdom come." We also pray, "Thy will be done on earth." (Matthew 6:10). "Seek first His Kingdom" (Matthew 6:33) - This is to be our greatest priority while we are here on earth. We are to wait on the Lord and renew our strength. This has to do with here-and-now. The teaching of the Lord concerning His return is to be the inspiration for our Christian living. "I will come again" (John 14:3). "This Jesus will come" (Acts 1:11). Our life is to be a prayer: "Come, O Lord" (1 Corinthians 16:22). He says, "I am coming soon." We say, "Come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22:20). This is to be more than words. This is life , the whole of life, lived in the light of His coming. The return of the Lord is not to be put to the back of our mind. It is to be at the forefront of our attention: "You also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour" (Luke 12:40).
