The New Life In Christ Jesus

     In 2 Corinthians 5:19, we are told, “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not counting their sins against them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”  It’s easy to think of those who haven’t yet embraced salvation as "sinners." But it's crucial to understand that they weren’t made sinners because of their own actions. Rather, it was because of Adam’s disobedience. Romans 5:12 helps clarify this: “Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.”  All of humanity was affected by Adam’s fall. Sin entered the world through his choice, and as a result, death came for all. But here’s where the beauty of the Gospel shines through: While Adam’s disobedience made many sinners, the obedience of one man—Jesus Christ—has the power to make many righteous.  Romans 5:19 puts it this way: “For as by one man’s disobedience many were...

  the blessing of Abraham is no ordinary concept- it is the foundation of the Gospel . Many think of only in terms of material prosperity , but it's far greater. The blessing of Abraham is the outpouring of God's grace, His covernant kindness, translated from the Hebrew word, "hesed." It includes divine favour, fruitfulness, dominion, and most importantly, the promise of thr Spirit.  When God called Abraham, He said, "I will bless you and make you a blessing...and in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed" ( Genesis 12:2-3 ). This was God's prophetic declaration of the Gospel.  It was the announcement of His plan to pour out His love and goodness on all humanity through faith. The Apostle Paul made it clear that this blessing has now come to the gentile through jesus Christ.   thus, if you are in Christ, you are Abraham's seed and an heir according to promise ( Galatians 3:29 ). You are the fulfilment of god's promise to Abraham tho...

  The authority of the Name of Jesus is unparalleled. If He were an ordinary man, His name would have no power in His Name . The book of Acts shows us how the disciples   used His Name to cast out demons, heal the sick , and perform miracles . His Name is not just a title; it carries authority and power. And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea ,the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all ( Acts 3:16 ))    In Acts 3 , Luke tells us about the miraculous healing of a certain man who was crippled from birth and laid at the gate of the temple called Beautiful . The miracle attracted the attention of a large crowd, and Peter , seizing the moment, addressed the crowd, explaining the source of the healing to be the Name of Jesus. He emphasized that it was through faith in the Name of Jesus that the man was made strong and restored to health .    The authority a...

  And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified (Acts 20:32).     The Apostle Paul couldn’t think of a better way to bless the brethren at Ephesus than to commend them to the Word of God. As Christians, we’re born of the Word (1 Peter 2:23); the Word gave birth to us; therefore, our lives can only be built and sustained by the Word. From the moment you made Jesus the Lord of your life, the building process began; the Word builds you spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, and in all areas of life.      Furthermore, the Word is able to “give” you an inheritance among all those that are sanctified. This is quite an interesting thought. The Spirit of God, through the Apostle Paul, wrote this to the Church. Why would He say this to Christians who already have an inheritance in Christ Jesus? First, understand that He ...

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promise; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (2 Peter 1:4)     Some things can affect a Christian; these aren’t viruses, sicknesses or diseases, because Jesus stated unequivocally that nothing shall by any means hurt you(Luke 10:19). But the things that are dangerous to a Christian are anger, bitterness, fear, unbelief, etc.  He doesn’t want such negative things in your heart. He said in Hebrews 12:15, “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.”    The Christian is a partaker of the divine nature; he has the life and nature of God, the nature of love and righteousness. This is what makes it a great concern when you find Christians who don’t walk in love. In Luke 6:27, Jesus said, “But I say unto you which hear,...
