WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST JESUS!

 

SOMETHING OF SIGNIFICANCE:

                              WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS!

SCRIPTURE:  Philemon 1:6

“I pray that the communication of your faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is IN YOU IN CHRIST JESUS.”

Communication is the successful conveying of ideas and information!

The Apostle Paul emphasized that to be effective in our faith life, we need to clearly understand and verbally acknowledge every GOOD THING that is IN US that is IN CHRIST JESUS!

You are actually God’s House Address!  Wherever you go, as His temple, he goes—Christ in You! 

1 Cor. 3:16. “Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”

The Greek definition for “Temple” is:

-a sanctuary

-a divine dwelling place

-a sacred abode

-a place of divine manifestation

That is what each of us that are born-again believers are!

John 3: 3 “Jesus answered him, “Truly, Truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Romans10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 12:2 tells us the benefits available when our mind gets transformed to understand who lives inside of us because He desires the attributes of who He is in our temple to be let out!  He wants us to release words of encouragement, inspiration, health, healing, happiness, wisdom, blessings, etc., on his behalf!

“And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the GOOD, and PLEASING and PERFECT will of God.”

Wait!  God says through renewing our mind to God Things, we have three opportunities to prove and experience what his will for us is. 

There are three avenues so to speak we can take:

-the Good

-the Acceptable

-the Perfect 

This is so important because 1 Timothy 2:4 says what God’s will and desire for mankind is:

“Who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.”

With that in mind, following are some Scriptures and confessions that I found online some time ago that have been and continue to be extremely helpful to me! I believe these will inspire you as well as you become more knowledgeable of who you are in Christ Jesus and they will help you communicate your faith in a concise and powerful way!

I encourage you to meditate on these “faith confessions” until they become real and factual in your life.  Taking time to look up the Scriptures will build your faith so that you will be able to prove what His good, acceptable, and perfect will is for your life in Jesus Name!

Some of the “faith confessions” will resonate with you more than others.  When that is the case, spend more time acknowledging those so that what Paul said in Philemon 1:6 comes true in your life!

“That the communication of YOUR faith may become effectual by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING THAT IS IN YOU IN CHRIST JESUS!”

Final Thought:  I believe as we grow in the knowledge of, HE who lives inside of us, we put a big smile on God’s face. 

The Apostle John who understood how much he was loved said this under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit:

“I have no greater JOY than to hear that my children are walking in the truth!”  Amen-so be it in Jesus Name!  3 John 1:4
