WE HAVE TO LIVE THROUGH CHRIST

The actual meaning of being born again is being born into Christ by the in corruptible seed of the word of God. It is forever- abiding- seed. It is not of man.

1PE 1:23 HAVING BEEN BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED BUT INCORRUPTIBLE, THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD WHICH LIVES AND ABIDES FOREVER .

It is different from being born of the seed of man which is the sperm seed.

JOHN 3:6 THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT

 Apart from Christ who is the word made flesh, the other beings who are associated by the word by birth are the New Creation…those who are born into Christ by grace through faith. These are the sons of God by faith in Christ and are led by the SPIRIT OF GOD. …Not by culture and or  tradition.  

JOHN 1:12 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.

1JOHN 4:9 IN THIS WAS MANIFESTED THE LOVE OF GOD TOWARD US, BECAUSE THAT GOD SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON INTO THE WORLD, THAT WE MIGHT LIVE THROUGH HIM.

2COR 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

ROM 8: 9 BUT YE ARE NOT IN THE FLESH, BUT IN THE SPIRIT, IF SO BE THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELL IN YOU. NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS.

Everybody is in this world but not everyone is in Christ. Being born into this world is not being born into Christ Being is Christ is a higher standard of living which is not the same as the life of an ordinary man born into this world by a biological father and mother. It is a life of spiritual realties in God.

Why so many people are confused is because they do not believe that faith has any role to play in living eternal life. They believe that God’s love has qualified every man to salvation without faith in Christ. There is no other name on earth through which man can be saved.

AC 4:12 "NOR IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER, FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN BY WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED.

Anyone who cannot receive eternal life by faith cannot live a life of faith. It would contradicts the scripture that says that the just shall live by faith. No one is in Christ by living by religious rules or obey mosaic laws. Everyone in Christ is by faith. It is a life of faith that begins and ends in Christ.

HEB 12: 2 LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH; WHO FOR THE JOY THAT WAS SET BEFORE HIM ENDURED THE CROSS, DESPISING THE SHAME, AND IS SET DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF GOD .

We are not saved by grace without faith in Christ Jesus but we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus

EPH 2: 8 FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD:

2TIM 1: 9 WHO HATH SAVED US, AND CALLED US WITH AN HOLY CALLING, NOT ACCORDING TO OUR WORKS, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS OWN PURPOSE AND GRACE, WHICH WAS GIVEN US IN CHRIST JESUS BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN.

1 PETER 1: 20 WHO VERILY WAS FOREORDAINED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, BUT WAS MANIFEST IN THESE LAST TIMES FOR YOU

The love of God for man had been before the foundation of the world in Christ but it has to manifest for us to access every benefit of it through faith in the finished works of Christ for man on the cross. The manifestation of Christ was not an entertainment project but a fulfillment of God’s plan for man that had been in Christ before the foundation of the world so that we could receive eternal life by faith in Christ.

So being in Christ is the grand finale of the whole eternal plan of God for man. It shows that you have accepted God’s method of eternal delivery of this plan for man.

1JO 5:11 AND THIS IS THE TESTIMONY: THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON.

1JOHN 5:13 THESE THINGS I HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU WHO BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD, THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, AND THAT YOU MAY CONTINUE TO BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD.

If you have not accepted Jesus Christ you are not in Him and cannot live through Him because you do not have eternal life.

Thank you Jesus Christ

Hallelujah.

                                         ENEMIES OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST Gal 1: 3- 4 3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,    WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR OUR SINS, 8 he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:   Christ is the message because sin is dead. He gave Himself for our sins to condemning sin in the flesh.(Roman 8:3). Christ came into this world so that men through Him would receive Eternal life. The Gospel of Christ is the Good News to mankind that should be received. It does not happen by chance. It is a relationship of consciousness of Christ by faith. It is a very pathetic that many have moved away from the truth. They have gone through human philosophies and definitely concluded that Jes...

YOU HAVE TO BE A NEW CREATION.

  YOU HAVE TO BE A NEW CREATION. The definition and description of the the New Creation can ONLY be in Christ.  .He can't exist anywhere else.. 2 Corinthians  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. This means that without Christ death, burial and resurrection, there would not have been anything like New Creation.  The emergence of this new Creation has been the divine project God had  before the foundation of the world. When God and man would be one in common ground.  That was why God was not living in Adam. He was visiting. The first Adam was not God carrier Before the Creation of Adam God has already known the New Creation and destined them to be in Christ.  Because the lamb was slain before the foundation of the world. (Romans  8: 29-30 )For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn a...
