THE BIBLE TELLS US ONCE YOU ARE IN SIN YOU SHALL DIE, THUS JESUS CAME TO GIVE YOU HIS SINFREE IDENTITY OR CHARACTER AS YOUR EXPERIENCE THAT YOU MAY LIVE (PT 1)

THE BIBLE TELLS US ONCE YOU ARE IN SIN YOU SHALL DIE, THUS JESUS CAME TO GIVE YOU HIS SINFREE IDENTITY OR CHARACTER AS YOUR EXPERIENCE THAT YOU MAY LIVE (PT 1)

Rom.8:13-14

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Those that are led of the Spirit are those that believe in Christ, and to believe in Christ is to believe Him for your new and true Identity. Thus when you believe in Christ, you find yourself after being lost and you become Sons of God, as it is written in John 1:12 and I quote:

"12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"

To those that do not receive Him and His identity by believing on His name they are told, and I quote:

"24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins."

Now because the faith being the reveal truths of Christ give us the character of Christ as our new identity we are told in Gal.3:26-27 and I quote:

"For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ."

Paul establishes the understanding of the faith giving us Christ identity in Gal.2:20-21. I quote:

"20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain."

So my dear Facebook friends accept the identity of Christ. To believe you are saved otherwise is to frustrate the Grace of God and to take the meaning of His name and His death and the reason he was sent in vain. As it is written in 2Cor.5:15,17-18 and I quote:

"15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation"

We are further told of the purpose of His death in Phil.2:5-8 And I quote:

"5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."

We also told in Col.1:21-23 that the purpose of Christ's death was to reconcile us to the identity of Christ and I quote:

"21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;"

"

So my dear Facebook friends do truly believe in Christ and be saved from this sinful world."

P.S.

Gal.1:4

"Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:"

(PART 2) WE ARE CALLED TO RECEIVE THE IDENTITY OR CHARACTER OF CHRIST

When God calls us, he calls us to a born again self in Him, which has the image of Him. I quote Rom.8:29-30:

"29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."

That image of His Son God knows, if we have not that image God will say He never knew us. Thus we must have His image to be saved. And justification which is salvation is the reception of the born again self. As it is written in 2Tim.2:19 and I quote:

"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, THE LORD KNOWETH THEM THAT ARE HIS. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."

Furthermore in Matthew 7:22-23 he says:

"22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

Facebook friends having Christ's character or identity in us is having the experience of salvation. Thus beseech thee to abide moment by moment in the image of God's Son even to you passing in the Investigative Judgement by the mercy of Yahweh to God be the glory. Amen

P.S

Psalms 1:5-6

"5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
