We have been studying who we are IN CHRIST and the privileges that come to us as a child of the Living God. The knowledge of who we are In Him and believing the truth of what the Word says is life changing.
John 3:16 God so loved you and I that He gave His very Best…His Son, Jesus Christ.
Our part is to believe and receive. We are receivers. Jesus did His part. He came to do His Father's will. He died and was resurrected on our behalf.
Our believing and receiving Jesus Christ, as we have been seeing, has made us "New". A new creation …a new man…a son of God. 2 Cor 5:17.
I've been thinking a lot this week about abdicating the throne of our own hearts.
Jesus laid down His life. John 10:15, 17-18.
When we give up our life to surrender to God…then we find true life. , John 12:25. Luke 9:24.
"It is the Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom"…Luke 12:31-32. When we give up our own kingdom…our own control…and we seek His Kingdom…we receive the Kingdom that can never be shaken. An unshakeable Kingdom. Heb. 12:27-28 Ps 145:11-13. .
I want Jesus to sit on the throne of my heart and I want Him to rein in my life…how about you?
