In Christ: Learning to Live in our New Nature – part 3

As Christians who have been born again, we cannot live in our old nature, for that way is dead. Christians now have a new nature, which is in Christ. We must learn to live in this new nature so that it’s possible for us to give godly grace, forgiveness, love and mercy to others. The butterfly can serve as an illustration for us, as a butterfly has a new nature and can never go back to living in its old nature, as a caterpillar. Everything’s new, including its food source, way of eating, its mobility and its appearance among many other things.

In Christ: Forgiven – part 2

The Old Testament gave us a picture of forgiveness of sins, where your sins were sent away when God forgave you. God only forgave sins through the Sin Offering offered up at The Altar, a picture of our Messiah Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. After Jesus died for our sins and was Resurrected, the New Testament letters instruct Christians to now forgive one another, just as Christ forgave us, for now we have a new nature, which is in Christ!

Satan’s Schemes: Unforgiveness – part 1

Bitterness is bondage, but forgiveness is freeing! One of Satan’s schemes that he uses constantly and effectively against all Christians is unforgiveness. Why?! Because it works! Life is too short to stay selfish and to stay stuck in pride! Christian, you must study these spiritual war tactics and strategies that Satan has already been using in your life. Forgiveness is the way of Jesus Christ, but unforgiveness is the way of Satan. Will you choose to follow Satan or Jesus Christ?! Choose the freedom of forgiveness through Jesus Christ and finally break free from the bondage of bitterness and unforgiveness!

Bearing with One Another in Love

Paul teaches in his letter to the church at Ephesus that they, as Christians, need to first know important doctrine about Jesus Christ. In chapter 4, we read Paul’s instruction about church life within the body of Christ. Paul teaches us to walk worthy of our calling within our local fellowship and gives us great practical ways on how to do it. He instructs the Christian to bear with one another in love, so that we may endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, and not give in to the devil’s tactic, which is disunity.
