CHRIST IN YOU: THE ASSURANCE OF ETERNAL GLORY (II)

Spiritual Assurances

I’ve written this letter to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you will be assured and know without a doubt that you have eternal life (1 John 5:13 TPT).

Christ in you does not merely answer to your expectations, but also, fills you with assurances. By virtue of Christ in you, you have all spiritual assurances. 

Assurance of forgiveness of sin

If you have received Christ, then your sins—past, present and future—are forgiven.

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38 NIV). 

Assurance of justification

If Christ be in you, then you stand justified in every spiritual trial. This means that you are not condemnable now or ever throughout all eternities. 

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1 NIV).

Assurance of righteousness

If Christ be in you, you have become the righteousness of God.

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV).

Assurance of eternal life

If Christ be in you, then you have eternal life as a gift from God. 

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23 NIV). 

Assurance of inheritance

If Christ be in you, then you are the heir of God entitled to all his spiritual and heavenly estates.

Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory (Romans 8:17 NIV).

Assurance of glory

If Christ be in you, then you are glorified. To be glorified here means to be filled with God's glory.

And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified (Romans 8:30 NIV).

Assurance of power and wisdom

If Christ be in you, then you are filled with the power of God for divine health and the wisdom of God for divine wealth.

but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24 NIV).

Assurance of God's presence

Moses declared to Jehovah that if his presence did not God with them, then they would not move an inch, signifying the important of God's presence in man's life. The good news is, if Christ be in you, God's presence lives with you and dwells in you.

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you (John 14:16‭-‬17 NIV).

Assurance of name in the Lamb's book of life

The Lamb's book of life contains names of those who have eternal life in Christ. If Christ be in you, then your name is written in the Lamb's book of life.

Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life (Revelation 21:27 NIV). 

These and other spiritual assurances revealed in scripture fill our faith with glorious riches, making us completely joyful and confident in Christ. 

If there are any riches to be distributed to the world in these days and times, they are royal riches from God that conform to the good news of God's glory in man. And if there are any verities to be given to the body of Christ in these days and times, they are verities that teach, guide, inspire, encourage and motivate God's glorified children to put out the glory that is in them so that the world may see it and give praise to God, the Father. 

Preach the glorious gospel. Teach Christ-In-You Verities!

THE DOCTRINE OF SPIRITUAL COVERING: TRUTH OR INVENTION?

  " As for those who were held in high esteem—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—they added nothing to my message" (Galatians 2:6 NIV).  Modern Christianity is orienting the Christian away from the belief that the Bible is the highest authority for faith and doctrine toward a belief that a spiritual father is the highest authority for faith and doctrine.  What is the basis for the belief that a father is a covering for the Christian? Is this belief based on the Bible or is it based on a doctrine that a father in the ministry advanced? Some fathers in the ministry have died from gory road accident. Others have died in a plane crush. Still others have lost biological children, sons and daughters in the ministry, in a most painful way. The popular televangelist and healing minister, A. A. Allen, is said to have died after a heavy drinking binge. Autopsy report showed that he died of kidney failure resulting from excessive alcohol intak...

LIVING BY THE SPIRIT (III)

 The Gifts of the Holy Spirit  Ephesians 4:11-12 NIV [11] So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, [12] to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up. The Holy Spirit is a gift from God to those whom he loves. Why is the Holy Spirit a gift? A gift refers to a provision freely made, a person freely given, or an item freely supplied to meet another person's peculiar needs. Anything that is given to solve your peculiar need free of charge is a gift. Our talents are natural gifts given by God to enable us meet peculiar needs such as our need for a job. Our extraordinary or supernatural abilities are spiritual gifts given by God to enable us do extraordinary works on his behalf. A gift may be in the form of an arrangement made, a person given, or an item supplied to meet the peculiar needs of another person free of charge. From a giver, gift reaches a recipient. The Holy Spirit is God's comp...

PILLARS OF A GLORIOUS CHURCH

"The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John." (Revelation 1:1 NIV) Every church, no matter the denomination or doctrine, must look so much the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the head and the church is his body. The two parts must be identical in nature and behaviour.   Nature wise, the church is created in the image of Christ, but behaviour wise, the church must learn to live like Christ. Just as a newborn baby, fully possessing the genetic and systemic abilities of a human being, must learn to behave as a human being, so the Christian, created in the image of Christ, must learn to behave like Christ.  We ought to place much emphasis on the revelation of Jesus Christ in the book of Revelations. This is because, in the book, the glorified Christ reveals himself to the church in his full glory as Lord, so that we would see what his glory looks like, and eventually, ...
