*This article was meant to be published on Sunday.*
Happy Sunday 💖💗. How was the service. A new campus fellowship was inaugurated in my school. Today is the first campus Sunday service. I have been attending an adult church before and so I am happy that a campus fellowship has come to stay in my campus. It was a glorious service. And this is the message that was preached.
Who is Christ to you?
Some see Him as a healer. Others see Him as a provider. Some even see him as a mere religious founder. But who is He to you?
Your understanding of who Christ is to you will determine the benefits you get from Him. It will also determine how far you will go with Him and how closer you will get with Him.
Matthew 16:13-23
Peter expressed the knowledge of Christ
'you are not just one of the prophets, you are more than Elias. You are the Savior and the only One to be followed.'
You must have a personal conviction that Christ is the Savior. Do not be carried away by divergent knowledge of Christ. Others may be running away from Christ because they don't get what they want or they have it all and don't need anything again from Him.
They take church as a cafeteria where you eat and leave. You don't sit down again after eating in a cafeteria. They come and sing, receive blessings and go. Peter said Christ has the word of Life. He gives everything freely.
When you have knowledge of Christ, there must be a change in your life and be who you are supposed to be. God knows who are His. And anyone that calls the name of Christ must depart from inequity. You will purge yourself from all unrighteousness and be a vessel unto honour. The knowledge of Christ gives salvation.
How can you say that you are saved and you keep it to yourself? You must expand it. You are going to talk about it to every other person when you are born again. In Luke 24 :27, Christ spoke about himself. Who then are we not to speak about his repentance and remission of sin. You will tell your brothers, sisters are parents.
The Spirit of God will reveal Christ as the Savior to you. When you see this revelation, what is your response? You can pray for the revelation of the word of God in your heart. That revelation gives you courage, faith and righteousness.
Some people say that Jesus did not die and that He was too powerful to die. He surrendered Himself. He died and rose up through Him we have complete redemption. We are justified by Faith through redemption in Christ. Christ is the justifier, no man is the justifier, no angel, no prophet not even the mother of Jesus is the justifier.
Christ is our confirmed righteousness. God made Him a sin offering that we might be holy.
Christianity is not by being moral.
There is a transformation that takes place in you that makes you to hate the bad things you used to do before, the places you used to go and it things you used to eat.
Be a Christian by way and not only by name.
we all might see christ differently because i feel it depends on the way we relate or accept hm. christ is my all in all, my provider, owner of my soul etc.
