Jesus the perfect gift

Christians are people who were sinners who accepted the gift of salvation. They had welcomed Jesus into their lives. They had received the perfect gift.

Since it is a gift, it is up to an individual to decide to accept or reject. Once a person had accepted the gift, it is up to the person to maximise his or her gift. It is up to the person to enjoy the gift. What is this gift? Or more specifically, Who is this gift? The Gift is Jesus! For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Now that we know the Gift is Jesus, it is up to us to further know Jesus and enjoy His love for us. The bible says that greater is He who is in me than he who is of the world. Don't we want to know Jesus more? For to know Jesus is to love Jesus. To love Jesus is to enjoy Jesus. To enjoy Jesus is to receive all that Jesus had given. That's why we want to see more of Jesus in the bible.

We can only receive what God had freely given. We can't work or earn God's gift, for it is a Gift. We can only enjoy this Gift more and more. We can only enjoy His love for us more and more each day.

The moment we are enjoying Jesus in our lives, all dark forces that were against us had to flee. We will be seeing miracles manifesting in our lives. For those who are sick, they shall be made whole completely. For those who are poor, they shall be poor no more. They shall be prosperous in the area of finance. For those who are dejected, they can hope against all hope for their miracles to manifest!

Jesus, the perfect Gift, had perfectly completed a complete work at the cross. Our role as Christians is to enjoy the finished work. Receive our blessings for they had been poured forth into our lives by Jesus. Hallelujah!

It is finished!

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Christians are basically sinners who accepted the gift of salvation. It is a gift and not something that a sinner can work for. It is the master plan of God to save and redeem. At the cross, Jesus said with a loud voice: It is finished!

Some Christians are still working for their salvation. They think they have a part to play in the redemptive work. They are woking very hard for their blessings. They are exercising regularly to maintain their health. They are working overtime or taking on multiple jobs to provide for they family.

There is nothing wrong in exercising to keep fit, to feel good after the adrenaline rush. There is nothing wrong in working overtime to earn the extra cash to give one and the family some extra luxuries. However, when a Christian does these things with the knowledge he/she is the one to achieve all good things in his/her life and not the almighty God who is more than willing to supply, the Christian just subjects himself/herself under the law.

God is willing to give us Jesus, what more will He withdraw from us? Trust in the finished work at the cross for the blessing of the Lord makes one rich and He adds no sorrow to it.

Your new identity in Christ

"Old things had passed away. Behold, all things are new."

When one receives Jesus as Lord and Saviour, he/she has become a New Creation. All old things had passed away and all things are new. It is a new beginning in Christ. A born again Christian, for the old self had been crucified with Jesus at the cross.

At the cross, Jesus borne all our diseases, illnesses, curses, pains, sorrows, and our worrisome old self. He had conquered the grave and resurrected. He is now SEATED at the right hand of Abba Father. He is our tithe to God. Jesus had sent the Holy Spirit to dwell inside of all Christians as the other comforter till the second coming of Christ.

Greater is He who is in me than he who is of the world. The bible says that Christ in me, the hope of glory. Jesus had, technically, given everyone a new lease of life. However, only those who accept the gift of salvation are forgiven of all sins and to be reconciled with God.

Enjoy the new identity in Christ for His glory. Live life worthy of the high calling in Christ for He has a master plan for everyone of us. Hallelujah!

"Faithing"

Some of us neglect our walk with Christ after the so-called honeymoon period after our salvation day. We think that since we have faith on our salvation day, we will have faith for the rest of our lives.

But faith in the bible is usually a verb and not a noun. It is "faithing". We are to believe and continue to believe that God is love and He is always good to us, regardless of our circumstances. We are to have faith in God.

God wants us to turn to Him for every need in our lives on a daily basis. He wants to communicate with us every moment. He wants us to cast all our cares upon Him. He has a master plan for everyone of us, and his master plan for us is always good for us.

God's manna is only fresh for the day only. We can't live on yesterday's manna. That's why we should look to God to provide us our daily bread, our daily provisions. Do not worry about tomorrow.

Another new friend

I made a young friend, by the name of Kim, just now and came to know he is a "young" Christian. Was able to share with him that Jesus had done a complete work at the cross and that our salvation is for eternity. It is by grace that we are saved and by faith we shall live our Christian lives.
