SALVATION ,TRANSFORMATION AND FULFILLMENT IN CHRIST 2

 

 


Bill Hull Quote: “The evidence of salvation is living a life of transformation.”


Receiving salvation by grace through faith in Christ ( ALONE) is the first step that we take in our relationship with God.

✔Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.


✔Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

I dealt with salvation in the 1 part of this epistles so that we should understand this stage of transformation. If we do not understand salvation , it will be difficult for us to understand transformation. So I advise us to read and digest both.

Today, I want to talk about ;

🍍 TRANSFORMATION.

Transformation is the changes men see in us as a result on the mind renewal we daily undergo by studying, fellowshiping and meditation on the word of God. Unlike salvation that we do not get by works, transformation comes by our conscious works on our minds. Many of us do not allow the word of God take charge of our minds even when we boldly see the truth in Christ there in.
Transformation is not a work of the law but it is a work on the mind. There is no transformation without salvation. It does not come by academic qualifications. It comes by revelation by the Holy Spirit.


✔Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 🌏:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Only the word of God can renew the mind. The mind is corrupt by name and it doesn't take a steady state. It takes the shape of the dominant force or thought. That is why it needs a daily renewal to remain in tune with the realities in Christ.
Believing in Christ and confessing him with the mouth fertilizes the mind to be ready for renewal. It is renewed with the knowledge of Christ so that we can be and do more of Christ's nature in us.

✔Romans 10:9 -10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.


It is during transformation that bad habits are dropped, works of the flesh overcome, gift of the Holy Spirit harnessed and voice of the Holy Spirit louder.
Any Christian who do not renew the mind remains carnal. It does not matter how long or religious the person has been.
Christ came to give us salvation free so that we get transformed by our commitment to the foundation he laid for man.
May God help us as we embrace the realities in Christ.

Amen

                                         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...
