It's all about character..

Christianity is all about character. Some become Christian because they know that if they just stick with God, there will be blessings. True. But Christianity is not about that. Christianity is about character. I know a Christian who lost her job and nearly lost her mind too! That's what happens when your Christianity is attached to the blessings. Christianity is not about the good life either. That's part of it but that's not what Christianity is about. For everyone shall be salted with fire. And God will let lose the Tempter to test everyone that is on the earth.

We know that man was created in the likeness of God. And that means 100% like God. Not just 50%, say our face looks like Him but our character is of someone else. I believe that God made man to be really like Him. That we be all that God is. That's why He says, do not worry. Because God's resources are infinite! There are more important things that we must give attention to than our bodily necessities. And God knows that we have need of them. Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. If we miss a meal, it won't kill us. But if we miss out on the word of God, we miss out big time! And your missing a meal could be because you missed out on the Word of God.

It's all about building our character. To really be like God. And He's already done it. He has made us new from the inside. If anyone be in Christ, he is a new creature! All that God wants us to be is already in the inside of us. He has recreated us. He has planted His seed in us. And all that we really need to do is let that new man in the inside of us become manifest. That we no longer let the outward man take control but let the inner man dominate the faculties of this physical body. God is building our character. And to do that, there will be trouble for sure. But let the inner man handle every situation and you will win every single time.

The Operation of God

Col 2:12  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. The word operation was translated from the Greek:   G1753 ἐνέργεια energeia en-erg'-i-ah From G1756; efficiency (“energy”): - operation, strong, (effectual) working. This gives us an idea of what goes on in the spirit realm when a person comes to Christ. The Scripture says, we are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God... the energy... the effectual working of God.  Here is what happens in the spirit realm, believers are risen from the dead by this energy - the effectual working of God. And it is made to pass through the faith of this energy. Now, this clearly tells us that this is not Man's faith, it is God's faith.  Notice the first part of this Scripture. It says, Buried with Him in baptism. This is where Man's faith is in operation. Baptism is the answer of a good conscience toward God. The a...

A New Creation

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. A very simple yet so profound truth that we must not forget: we are new creations in Christ. We are not the person that we were before we came to know Christ. We are a new person, a new creature in Christ. This is very foundational and very, very important. Many Christians tend to dwell on the Cross. They stay there and never want to be removed from there because the Cross meant the forgiveness of sins. And that is true. But the very purpose of the Cross was not the forgiveness of sins, but rather, to condemn sin. A Christian is not a sinner saved by grace as some denominations teach. And that phrase, sinner saved by grace, is never really found in the Bible. A Christian is not a sinner. We were sinners before we became Christians, but when we became Christians, we put on the new man. Religion would tell you that you are not worthy, how that you are ...

Looking At The Big Picture

By looking at Creation from a bird's eye view, perhaps we can have a hint and understand better the work which God has created. In the beginning God said, Let us make man according to our image. (Gen 1:27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And throughout the Bible, looking from a macro level, we can see that the purpose of God for man was not changed. God has it in His heart to make us like Him. And the things that has happened in the past and those that are happening now and will still happen in the future all add up to that end. But we cannot really say that God has authored everything that takes place because even right now, we know we are free to do whatever we want, and we know that we do it by ourselves only and not by some controlling force from the outside. We can be persuaded and moved by some external forces, but still the decision to act is solely attributed to the individual. God has foreknowle...
