How Christians Really Are by yommyuk: 8:21am On Jan 18, 2015
There is a common notion within the church that tell us to do the best we can,which is neither biblical nor helpful advice. A seed that Satan planted while the church was asleep and has continued to grow. It is up to each individual to recognize this and totally reject it. This is the truth!

A BELIEVER IS IDENTIFIED AS A CHILD OF GOD
. Through prayer, we have access to our Father at any time, and we can expect that He will be faithful to every one of His promises. What’s more, we are no longer classified as “sinners,” a term describing those who have not received Jesus Christ as Savior. We've been transformed into saints—holy persons saved by grace and set apart for God’s purposes. Sin and temptation will continue to be realities for us as long as we’re on earth. But our transgressions are forgiven, and our new identity cannot change.

A BELIEVER IS POSITIONED IN CHRIST.
God’s Spirit dwells in us so we can live righteously, as Jesus did. In John 15:5
Jesus Christ uses a grapevine metaphor to describe this relationship. It tells us the Lord is the vine and we are the branches connected to Him and drawing on His power. Without him, we can do nothing. In Him, we are more than conquerors.

A BELIEVER’S MISSION IS TO SHOW CHRIST TO TE WORLD.
Our vine is to bear the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Gal. 5:22-23). When our character and conduct reflect these aspects of Jesus’ nature, we help others to see the beauty of a relationship with the Lord.
The truth about believers is that we don’t have to “do the best we can.” God works through His children to accomplish His purposes.

Romans 8:31
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:28
“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”


IT IS WELL. GOD BLESS wink
