This book is about us finding out who we are in Christ. When you repent of your sins to God the Father and believe in His Son, Jesus, as to who He is and what He has accomplished, you receive the Holy Spirit and a bundle of benefits. These benefits are otherwise known as spiritual blessings.
Do you know what God thinks of you?
When you responded to the gospel of grace, everything about your life changed.
This book was written to help you become aware of the many spiritual blessings you received at salvation.
Each one declares something special about the new you.
And you know what? These truths are irrevocable.
God will never take them back.
By the way, there’s nothing you could do that would cause any of them to be taken back.
So, get to know how God sees you and how you should see yourself, and the reflection of these spiritual realities in your mind will be seen by those around you.
Before you know it, wherever you go, you’ll be a witness of Christ in word and deed and people will notice a divine love, peace, and joy that’s contrary to what they see going on in the world. Those that witness this will want what you have.
This will be your opportunity to share the gospel with them so that their life will not only contain these same spiritual graces, but you’ll also have found out the answer to the question that most, if not all of us, have wondered: what’s the true meaning and purpose of life?
Excerpt
I wonder how many Christians don’t know who they are in Christ. Did you know that God sees you in an entirely new way at salvation? Unfortunately, the newly converted Christians and some of those who have been saved for a while are still thinking, speaking, and acting steadily according to their former life. Conversely, when we start attending church, wherever or whenever that might be, we’re usually presented with a format for worship and accountability. This might consist of learning about the doctrines of the faith, becoming aware of the prescribed protocol for giving financially, being asked to participate in various functions such as corporate prayer, Bible study, men’s or women’s breakfast, teaching workshops, etc., or volunteering when needed.
Sadly, we’re unaware of all the spiritual blessings that have taken place in our life at salvation. Instead of learning about these spiritual declarations and embracing them, we’re asked to get busy and do good works for God. Therefore, our acceptance from leadership and the brethren becomes based on performance. In contrast, our approval from God is based on grace through faith (repentance of our sins to God the Father and belief in His Son, Jesus Christ, as to who He is and what He has accomplished).
Likewise, shouldn’t our walk that’s in accordance with the teachings of those in church leadership be founded on grace through faith?
This study will bring to our attention awareness of who we are in Christ, which is another way of saying that this is how God sees us and, conversely, how we should see ourselves. When we realize who we’ve become and how precious we are in God’s eyes, striving to please Him, church authority or our spiritual peers that’s based on achievement will be questioned. And hopefully, we’ll be guided to serve because our motivation is founded on the correct perception of ourselves and others as revealed by God’s Word.
Are you ready to discover the many truths about yourself that can’t be undone by anything you think, say, or do?
This doesn’t mean that grace is a license to sin. It simply means that what grace provides, sin can’t undo or affect. Grace remains grace. The new you will stay the new you.
In most of the following chapters, I’ll present one established irrevocable fact about your new standing in Christ. Are you ready to learn about each one of them? I am. And along with this, certain questions will be asked in some chapters so that you’ll understand more fully the certainty of your salvation.
