Bible Study Who are you in Christ? Something to ponder

2 Corinthians 5:17-21
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

We are reconciled to God through His Dear Son Jesus. Because we are made new, that is, born again, we are now His ambassadors
2 Corinthians 3:2-3
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 3 being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

On our hearts is written the Epistle of Christ to the world. He is telling the world about Himself, His love and reconciling sacrifice so that none should perish but should have ever lasting life through the REBIRTH. We, in essence, are the Ten Commandments. These Ten Commandments have been the hub of human interaction a, politically and socially, since they were delivered to Moses on MT. Sinai. The essence of these Ten Commandments has been put in the conscience of man kind so that even the Native Americans knew the difference between lying and honesty. These Ten Commandments are the crux of how humans should live. We believers now have those powerful instructions from God to man inscribed on our fleshy hearts. WOW!

Ephesians 2:21-22
21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord,
22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

Thanks Dooley E




You set me on the highest place
for You I desire to please
love for You pours from my heart
when I am on my knees
You give me power in my dependence
strength in my weakness
there is nothing I can do
but all things are possible
when my life is lived for You
the way You have shown me
my striving must stop
Holy Spirit leads me low
so I may reach the top.
The way up is down
and lowly
pride is far from You
You embrace the humble
for they are like You
There is no longer
worldly desires
no wants I have to please
Your will is all that is important
as precious as can be
Let me rest in the life
the life You live through me,
let Your life spread its light
for all the world to see.
THANK YOU JESUS !
