BELIEVING IN JESUS

TOPIC: BELIEVING IN JESUS

HOW DOES ONE BELIEVE IN JESUS?

To believe goes beyond just saying it with your mouth "I BELIEVE"

To believe is to be really be convinced of something to be as it is, so that it affect your daily life, i.e your actions. Having a conviction inside of you that what you believe in is true for real.

To believe in Jesus is to be convinced of the work which He has finished on our behalf which says Christ died for our sins on our and rose again and has made His righteousness available to us, that if you believe this saying and live the new life which is been made available for us through His death and resurrection, that we shall no longer come into condemnation 2cor.5;17,21 John.3;18,  if you believe in this saying, that His life will be made manifest in you as a new creation person through your actions, conduct and behavior. that is acting on the word.

Believing in Jesus [the word of God] goes beyond assenting to its truthfulness but acting on it after hearing it.This is BELIEVE. BELIEVING IS ACTING. 

Blessed are they who believe yet have not seen.

Fellowship means for us to share of God's life, His authority and dominion.

To believe is to actually understand  the work Christ has done for you, accept it and be convinced with it, to live out His kind of life by acting on it, Rom.6;3-6,11.This is what God wants us to understand, to know now that we are no longer sinners, if you disagree with this fact and consider yourself a sinner, who then is telling the truth? It is an impossible thing for God to lie, God has made us to be free from sin through Jesus Christ. Rom.5;21, 2cor.5;21. For Christ was delivered for our offences and was raised again for our justification, Rom.4;25, 5;18.

The one who knows his redemption and oneness with God is the true BELIEVER of JESUS CHRIST. The one who has God's righteousness. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.

We are the branches of the vine and if the vine is Holy, the branches must also be Holy.

  

 

Who Is Jesus Christ? Part I

Topic: Who Is Jesus Christ? Part I
Text: John 1:29-51
M/Verse: John 14:6
Many religious groups as well as sense-ruled scholars who have very obscure thinking about the Man Jesus, try to reduce Him to a second position other than the place Jehovah has given Him in the bible. These natural men, hardly knowing how they came into existence, even repudiate God's declaration of how life came into being. They believe and make millions the world over to believe in Names, Things and Places, seeking blindly to be blessed by God here on earth and hoping to go to Heaven when they die. Hear what God said of our Lord Jesus Christ in Matt. 17:5, 1John 5:12, Col. 1:16-17.

Lesson Plan:

1. What place does God give to Jesus Christ?

2. Examine the basic laws for Bible interpretation?

3. Can Jesus Christ be a created being?

 1.  Any religion that gives Jesus a lower place cannot be right. The Bible is emphatic that He is God manifested in the flesh. God the Father sent Jesus to the world to be the Saviour of the World (Matt. 1:21, Acts 4:12). Compare these to the statement made by Jehovah Himself in Isaiah 43:11. “I, even I, am the Lord: and beside me there is no Saviour”. Jehovah is the Saviour. The oneness of Jehovah and Jesus cannot be contested (John 10:30).

The claim that God is triune originated from pagan philosophy is proof that human reasoning is too weak and ineffective when it comes to comprehending our great and wonderful God (1Cor. 1:21). Sometimes Jesus is addressed as God by God the Father (Heb. 1:8). Note that the pagan idolatry involving a triad of gods is simply Satan's counterfeit of the one true God (Rev. 16:13).

 2.  Several pitfalls confront us when we interpret the Holy Scriptures. We tend to substitute human leadership and reasoning for a personal study of the word of God. This is because of the lack of understanding of the basic laws of Bible interpretation. These laws are found in 2Peter 1:20 and John 5:39. For example in studying the bible all relevant passages that speak on the same topic must be carefully studied before any conclusion can be drawn. And unless we have the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we cannot even discover the thoughts of God from His word since the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God because they are spiritually discerned (1Cor. 2:14). The Holy Spirit lives in every true born again child of God, so if we yield to the Lord, He will teach us His truth. Attractive books with reasonable arguments, though not conveying the truth of God abound. We must search the Scriptures personally with prayer and God will reveal Himself and His truth to us (1John 2:26-27).

3.  Colossians 1:15 and Rev. 3:14 referring to Jesus as a created being is often misinterpreted to prove that Jesus is a created being. However, nowhere in the Bible is Jesus said to be created by God. The original Greek word for “First Born”, and beginning mean first in Rank, excluding any reference to time or origin (Micah 5:2). They merely convey Jesus as having the highest position and a name above all in the universe (Phil. 2:9-11, Eph. 1:21). After voluntarily humbling Himself to death by crucifixion (Heb. 2:9). Father God saw to it that Jesus deserves to be exalted and glorified. May we do the same in our hearts in Jesus Name, Amen.

This created being as claimed by these religious groups, cannot be the Christ of the Bible because of John 1:3 as well as Col. 1:16.

Remember that without the Christ of the Bible no one can be saved and reach the kingdom of God no matter how hard one works (Eph. 2:8, 9, John 14:6). Jesus is the only Saviour. Any deviation from this argument could be clear teaching of a perverted gospel (Gal. 1:8, 9).

 CONCLUSION: Man, Woman, don't blindly follow blind leadership or else both of you will fall to the ditch and to lost forever (Matt. 15:14).
