Through the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus, God has provided us with all we need for life and godliness. Every human problem has an answer in what the Lord Jesus died and paid in full for us to have. Therefore, we are complete in Christ! This post will be exploring three of the main roadblocks that hinder Christians from experiencing or living out the complete blessings made available to all through Christ.
God wants the very best for us. We are the objects of His love. God’s purpose is to take you from slavery to sonship. Living by the rules and laws of the world takes you back to slavery, so it is important that you live by faith. Becoming like Christ brings about freedom from the bondage of the old man.
False doctrine is rooted in works that give glory to the works of men, while the true doctrine is rooted in grace and mercy that reveals the love of God. In fact, false doctrine denies the teachings of grace and mercy.
Doctrine is a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a church, political party, or any other group. Another name for doctrine is the teaching of a church. Every church has its own tenets of faith which consist of its articles of faith. We call it “This We Believe”
We should serve God with a joyful noise, proclaim His name loudly and boldly with shouts of joy, clapping and dancing , making merry to the glory of His name. God wants you to celebrate Him; talk about him, shout, make a loud noise, and let the whole earth hear about Him. It should be a lifestyle for you and your family all the days of your life.
God created us in His true image in Christ Jesus and so we cannot see ourselves as anything less. We are not grasshoppers while sin, Satan, the world, sickness etc. are giants. A wrong identity will build weakness into your life and produce failure even before the fight.
Prophet Isaiah was one of the greatest prophets. He prophesied about God’s plan of salvation through Christ Jesus. He wrote about the gospel thereby confirming the writings of our Lord Jesus. He started by making us know how to receive the Gospel. It is received by faith only. NOT BY WORKS!
Trusting the Lord with all your heart means that you, first of all, believe that God is who He says He is. When you trust in the word of God, you are testifying that God is real and true.
A major problem most Christians face is ignorance. We are all familiar with the Scripture that says “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. If you are ignorant in any area of your life, you will not excel in it. Spiritual ignorance means living in a lack of understanding of the revealed truth that is in Christ Jesus.
Salvation is not only about the forgiveness of sins but the mercy of God upon mankind. God saves us by grace when we believe. It’s not by works of righteousness but by the Grace of God. We do not have the power or ability to overcome the sinful nature we inherited from Adam, but by the grace of God, we are able to.
