 'And ye are Christ; and Christ is God's'
(1 Corinthians 3:23).

In seeking to know Christ,  we should have a knowledge of who He is. Christ is a person of the God head who pre-existed the world and by Him and through Him all things were created and sustained. When man sinned God the Father came in the Person of His Son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins and bestow upon us eternal life. Christ is both eternal God and fully man. In that, He was born of a woman and of the Holy Spirit, which is a very unique and supernatural birth. He lived on earth and experience the trials, tests and temptations we seem to face today, yet He was sinless. He taught his disciples and his people how to live, as he ministered to them daily. He was ever obedient to the Father, even unto death - the death of the cross. He resurrected, ascended to heaven and was highly exalted of God who gave him a name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord. Christ is now interceding on our behalf as our High Priest and our Judge and will one day come back as our glorified King to vindicate His people who trusted, believed and died for his cause. When we know and understand who Christ is and how He impacts every aspect of our daily lives, we will come to realise that there is no one or anything more important to us than He is. We have the assurance that we belong to Christ and He belongs to God. We are His when we accept and trust in him by faith through his grace. We have forgiveness of sin, sealed by His Holy Spirit and become joint-heirs of His rich inheritance and will have eternity with him when He comes back to take us home. Let us not glory in men, but in God and in Christ, as we continue to grow in His grace by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Let us be humble and obedient as Christ was to the Father; because we belong to him, as unto God. If Christ belongs to God, we too belongs to God, for we come to God through Christ.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
