Christianity
is Christ reproducing Himself in those who belong to Him.
It
is nothing more and nothing less.
It
has nothing to do with the works of man; a denomination an
affiliation
Or
anything else that comes from man.
What
is the goal of Christ Jesus?
That
those who belong to Him would become ONE with Him
As
He and the Father are ONE.
In
Heaven all are ONE. (John 17)
We
are justified, find right standing with God, through faith,
When
we confess with our mouth that Christ Jesus is Lord and
Believe
in our hearts that God raised Christ Jesus from the dead.
(Romans
10:9-10)
Without
faith in this these facts we have no faith at all.
Nevertheless,
faith without works is dead. (James 3:26)
Even
the demons believe that Christ Jesus is the Son of God
And
that God raised Him from the dead. (James 2:19)
Justification
To
be “justified” is what it means to be “born again;”
To
be born of the Spirit of God.
Before
this we were dead in our sin and condemned to eternal death.
(Colossians
2:13)
Now
we have been made alive in Christ, we are a new creation in Christ.
(2
Corinthians 5:17)
Sanctification
However,
once we have come to Christ Jesus in faith
We
must be sanctified; We must live a holy life.
Christ
calls us to be holy as He is holy, to be perfect as He is perfect.
(1
Peter 1:16), (Matthew 5:48)
How
do we do this?
We
do this by allowing Christ to live in us and through us;
By
obedience to the Spirit of God; doing His will. (John 9:4)
If
we do not do the will of God we do not belong to Him. (Matthew 7:21)
If
we keep on sinning only judgment awaits us. (Hebrews 10:26)
We
can only do the will of God by the empowerment of His Spirit
Who
lives in us; By submitting our will to His will [Hebrews 10:7);
By
remaining in the “Vine” which is Christ. (John 15:4)
This
is what it means to “know” God, which is Eternal LIFE. (John
17:3)
We
must allow the Spirit of God to renew our minds and our hearts.
(Romans
12:2)
Today,
Christ Jesus is reproducing Himself in those who belong to Him
As
He has done in every generation.
These
are His called, chosen and faithful followers. (Revelation 17:14)
The
“Elect.” (Matthew 24:24)
Those who agree with
the apostle Paul:
Who have been crucified
to this world with Christ;
Who no longer live but
it is Christ who lives in them.
Who live this life by
faith in the Son of God
And His power at work
in them.
Who have set their
hearts on things above,
Who's lives are hidden
with Christ in God,
Who have clothed
themselves with the garments of Christ,
And let His Word dwell
richly in them;
Those who overcome the
evil one and the world he rules
By the blood of the
Lamb and the word of their testimony
Not loving this life so
much as to shrink from death. (Revelation 12:11)
This is Christianity:
A people empowered by
Christ living in and through them!
A people possessed by
Christ!
A people who have
become ONE with Christ!
As God has written, so
shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
