THE NEW CREATION MINDSET: THE DAILY ASSURED CONSCIOUSNESS OF BEING TRULY FREE INDEED IN CHRIST JESUS!
“It is for FREEDOM that Christ has SET US FREE. STAND FIRM, then, and DO NOT let yourselves be BURDENED again by a YOKE OF SLAVERY (BONDAGE)” Galatians 5:1 NIV.
DO YOU DAILY PERCEIVE THE SAME ASSURED CONSCIOUSNESS IN YOUR BEING THAT YOU ARE FREE INDEED IN CHRIST JESUS, OR YOU STILL QUESTION WHO YOU ARE AND WHEREIN YOU DO STAND IN GRACE THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS?
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in HOPE of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.
What is it that sets you up and enlightens your day, every morning? Is it based on – the house you live in; the car you drive; the size of your bank account; the business empire you’ve established; the career you are in; the size of the Church or Ministries you attend or Pastor; the trophies, ornaments, treasures, or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life? WHAT SETS YOU UP AND BRIGHTENS UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND, EACH MORNING?
What does the quality of your life depend on, how is it measured? How do you define the graciousness and gracefulness of your God-given opportunity to live life and live godly on earth in humanity? Does the scripture of Luke 12:15, ever trigger your daily stand and wellbeing in Christ Jesus, especially in the daily PURSUIT of all that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS as it’s written?
“And he said unto them, TAKE HEED, and BEWARE of covetousness: for a MAN’S LIFE CONSISTETH not in the ABUNDANCE of the things which he POSSESSETH” Luke 12:15.
For me, WHAT SETS ME UP AND MY DAY is the ASSURED assurance that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN, QUALIFIED, PREDESTINATED, GLORIFIED, CALLED, and JUSTIFIED by God; and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God, enhancing my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelmingly, inspiring, revealing, empowering and incomprehensible. The knowing that God LOVES me and His presence LIVES in me, with me, and for me makes it more PRICELESS. That, and many such truths too numerous to note, within gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day for me and all about me for others, in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.
“God’s loyal LOVE couldn’t have RUN OUT, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re CREATED NEW every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.” Lamentations 3:22-24 (The Message Bible).
And for me, the more is the quality of daily wellbeing in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus – that is, KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of being ASSURED that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That God LOVES me and HIS presence lives IN me, He’s WITH me, and He’s FOR me – and that knowing and understanding is PRECIOUS and PRICELESS! That’s what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE and synergy to win my day for me and all about me for others. WHAT ABOUT YOU?
The KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that the NEW CREATION has NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore makes me assured of my onward and upward trajectory; and, in that my PAST – no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was – it CAN’T hold back my TODAY and TOMORROW anymore. Because of what Jesus has DONE in redemption for me, He has washed (erased) away my sin and cleansed me from EVERY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS by His precious and REDEEMING BLOOD.
“”Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19.
What a true freedom, for me and you to live ASSURED by the synergy of the eternal God, every morning and everyday – unashamed, unafraid and unperturbed in Christ Jesus. Amen. And much more, the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that His STEDFAST LOVE never ceases and are new every morning and everyday towards you and I – That’s GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL indeed to me.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!!
