GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST, GOD REVEALS A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST.
JESUS SAID, "I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.
NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.
THE WORDS I SAY TO YOU ARE NOT JUST MY OWN. RATHER, IT IS THE FATHER, LIVING IN ME, WHO IS DOING HIS WORK. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THAT I AM IN THE FATHER AND THE FATHER IS IN ME. TODAY I BELIEVE THAT CHRIST IS IN THE FATHER, AND I AM IN CHRIST, AND CHRIST IS IN ME.
THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE WITH ALL MY SPIRITUAL HEART, ALL MY SPIRITUAL MIND, ALL MY SPIRITUAL SOUL.
"CHRIST SAID: I AM THE VINE; YOU ARE THE BRANCHES. IF A MAN REMAINS IN ME AND I IN HIM, HE WILL BEAR MUCH FRUIT; APART FROM ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING. IF YOU REMAIN IN ME AND MY WORDS REMAIN IN YOU, ASK WHATEVER YOU WISH, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN YOU. (John 15:5,7)
"I BELIEVE GOD WILL CONTINUE GIVE ME WHAT I ASK HIM".
"GOD, I ASK THAT ALL CHRISTIANS OBTAIN TO YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IN JESUS CHRIST."
"BROTHERS, MY HEART'S DESIRE AND PRAYER TO GOD FOR ALL CHRISTIANS IS THAT THEY MAY BE SAVED. FOR I CAN TESTIFY ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN THEY ARE ZEALOUS FOR GOD, BUT THE CHRISTIAN ZEAL IS NOT BASED ON KNOWLEDGE. SINCE THE CHRISTIAN DID NOT KNOW THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT COMES FROM GOD AND SOUGHT TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, THE CHRISTIAN HAS NOT SUBMITED TO GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS. CHRIST IS THE END OF RELIGON SO THAT THERE MAY BE RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES." (Rom.10:1-4 paraphrased)
BUT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS BY FAITH SAYS:
"THE WORD IS NEAR YOU; THE WORD IS IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART," THAT IS, THE WORD OF FAITH I AM PROCLAIMING: THAT IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH, "JESUS IS LORD," AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED. FOR IT IS WITH YOUR HEART THAT YOU BELIEVE AND ARE JUSTIFIED, AND IT IS WITH YOUR MOUTH THAT YOU CONFESS AND ARE SAVED. AS THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, "ANYONE WHO TRUST IN GOD WILL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME." FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JEW AND GENTILE - THE SAME LORD IS LORD OF ALL AND RICHLY BLESSES ALL WHO CALL ON THE LORD, FOR ,"EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." HOW, THEN, CAN THEY CALL ON GOD WHO THEY HAVE NOT BELIEVED IN? AND HOW CAN THEY BELIEVE IN A GOD OF WHOM THEY HAVE NOT HEARD? AND HOW CAN THEY HEAR WITHOUT SOMEONE PREACHING TO THEM? AND HOW CAN THEY PREACH UNLESS THEY ARE SENT? AS IT IS WRITTEN, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS!" BUT NOT ALL THE CHRISTIANS ACCEPTED THE GOOD NEWS. FOR ISAIAH SAYS, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR MESSAGE? CONSEQUENTLY, FAITH COMES FROM HEARING THE MESSAGE, AND THE MESSAGE IS HEARD THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST."(Rom.10:6-17)
THE GOOD NEWS I SHARE WITH YOU IN CHRIST IS GOD WANTS TO FILL US WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD'S WILL THROUGH ALL SPIRITUAL WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING FOUND IN THE BIBLE.
"PRAISE BE TO THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO HAS BLESSED ME IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS WITH EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN CHRIST. FOR GOD CHOSE ME IN CHRIST BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD TO BE HOLY AND BLAMELESS IN GOD'S SIGHT." (Eph.1:3-4)
"MAY THE GOD OF PEACE, WHO THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE ETERNAL COVENANT BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THAT GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP, EQUIP ME WITH EVERYTHING GOOD FOR DOING GOD'S WILL, AND MAY GOD WORK IN ME WHAT IS PLEASING TO GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, TO WHOM BE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER." AMEN! (Heb.13:20-21)
"CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANKS BE TO GOD." AMEN!
