A Christian

Remember what it is to be a christian: II Corinthians 13:5

You are redeemed, and made holy by the sacrifice of Christ (Jesaja 53)

1 Peter 2:22-24

There is only one thing you need to give to be a christian - and that is everything!

God has poured out His life for you that you may pour out your life for him. (Galatians 3:20 - Matthew 25:40)

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. (1 Corinthians 4:20)

You consider yourself dead to sin and alive to righteousness. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death (Rom 8:2) .

In a christian there is to be the very Spirit of God - he cannot live in man who is bound by sin and is unholy that is why there is the redemption (Romans 8:11).

A Christian is a free person. Free to be as Christ. Free to lay down his life to live.

All is perishing - the old will vanish and the new will become. God is love so He gives you the opportunity to die to self, to die to the world (all unloving systems of governance and being) and to live by Him, with Him and for Him.

As you are a Christian, it is Christ who lives in you carrying on His ministry of reconciliation on this earth.

Luke 4:18

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed"

THAT IS YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION! Until He comes!

Be free and be well,
