Jesus, God's Man

One of the hardest things for us to understand is that Jesus was / is God expressed in human form. It is also difficult for many of us to believe he was / is one of us - humans. Because of this we often see as out of touch with us, that is, not knowing what we are experiencing.

This inability to recognize that Jesus was also a man puts the victorious life that he lived beyond our reach. Thus, in our struggles, we statements like: "Only Jesus can love their enemies. Only Jesus can live victoriously in this sinful world, Jesus alone can forgive him / her, etc." Jesus lived victory in life, not only because he was the son of God, but rather as a sinless man, who lived totally dependent on God.

Dear Friend, your sins are forgiven through faith in Jesus? If yes, then your victory is assured through faith in what Jesus has done for you. All that is necessary for Jesus to live the abundant life that everyday life is abiding in him. This is simply depending on Jesus for everything that constitutes life.

As God reveals Himself to us, you will realize that our greatest struggles in life are not the devil, but with ourselves. I mean, we will discuss with us, we realize that our competition is not from us but from God. Therefore, we give ourselves totally to God for him that all things in us.

I'm not saying that Satan has nothing to do with some of the problems we face. But the New Testament Scriptures clearly teach that it is defeated, Jesus is Lord and He (Jesus) lives in the heart of every believer. God tells us in John 4:04: "You are children of God and some have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than that in the world."

Scriptures about "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit there is freedom (II Corinthians 3:17)," with, "If the Son sets you free, free indeed (John 8 : 36) "also states clearly the believer in Christ to be freed from the powers of the devil. However, you can go anywhere in the world and found countless sincere Christians struggling in despair trying to do the work of Christian life .

Either they live in their (or someone else) had won / loss, or the future, when certain conditions are met (of those who is like to have asked enough and studied enough, given enough, etc. ), they will experience abundant life of Christ. Ah, but the victory in which we live in that moment where the rubber meets the road, is a mirage in the desert for many believers.

One of the modern theological solution to this problem tells us that it is up to a born-again believer to control his salvation / her and the victory over Satan, because Jesus gave us the strength to do it. However, if the truth, even if many of those who profess this faith, being tired, worn out and burned many methods and formulas that have been used to achieve this freedom.

God sent His Son Jesus - a woman born to give his life expressed the sins of the world, and humanity to bring God's abundant life. So we see Jesus - the Son of God to give people their lives as a human baby. Listen to what the Apostle Paul tells us in Philippians 2:5-11, "Have you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, as it is a form of God, did not consider something to be grasped to be with God, but made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a slave and becoming like men. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the limits of death. Therefore God has highly exalted him and gave him a name which is above every name, that name of Jesus every knee should bow, of them in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God Father. "

Friend Jesus was / is the son of God, but He humbled himself and became one of us, and so he lived his life like us, totally dependent on God the Father. Therefore, identified with us, it was worth paying the penalty of death for us, because it was / is God.

Jesus said, Matthew 11:28-30, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart and .. ye shall find rest for your souls And my yoke is easy and my burden light. "

Dear friend you are working under a heavy load of life and its conditions? "Jesus says," Come to me, "and not self-help models and methods. Jesus said," Come to me, 'is not true, the Church of the organization's rules and doctrines. We just need to find and get to live the rest of Jesus, and dwell in him. Jesus is we need to rest.

Every aspect of our Christian experience abiding lives the life of Christ in us. We struggle with the burdens of life when we realize that all our work and other activities flow of Jesus and that God works in us and through us. That's why Paul said. "To live is Christ"

Let's look at the relationship between Jesus and God the Father. Jesus said to those who have persecuted "...., "My Father worketh hitherto and I work." "Jesus also told His disciples:" The words I speak do not speak on my own, but the Father that dwells in me does his works "(John 14:10 b). This tells us that everything Jesus said and did was really the father working on it. Therefore, he said about us (Christians) "As the living Father sent me, and I live by the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me" (John 6:57).

Beloved of all that God requires of us, and He gives us through the Holy Spirit in us. Thus, the only requirement for you to experience the abundant life that is respected (to stay, rest, live) in Christ. It is simply to accept the Holy Spirit in us to show Jesus in us. So a simple presentation to accept this truth of faith, and this is what God reveals and shows his son, and his glory. Amen.

Stringer theory is the senior pastor of the Community House of Prayer, a nondenominational Christian church in Sanford, Florida, and founder and president of the Communications Cherubim:

"I think the greatest joy a man can have is to know the experience of God's love through His Son Jesus. Unfortunately, an unknown number of sincere Christians are struggling through self-efforts to gain acceptance by of God when He has given us unconditional love of her Son by the Holy Spirit. For over twenty years (even as a pastor), I looked after the acceptance of God's blessing and is based on my performance, but thanks God, by His grace, revealed the reality of his Son in me. My prayer for all believers is that they allow the Holy Spirit to reveal the reality of God's love for us in them, and gradually increasing more deeply and intimately familiar with it. "
