Who am I?

"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesian 2:10

If you have placed your faith in Christ Jesus, then you are a child of GOD. You have the divine privilege of communion with GOD. We have the divine right given to us by GOD to be called a child of GOD. We are heirs of GOD therefore joint-heirs with Christ Jesus. That makes Jesus Christ our brother. We have an inheritance in Heaven. When we become Christians (followers of Christ and children of GOD) then our citizenship is in Heaven. We can put our complete confidence in GOD. Romans 10:13, Acts 2:21, Joel 2:32, 1 Corinthians 1:2, Romans 10:9. For He has said  that all who call on His name will never be put to shame Romans 10:11. He has also said that He is faithful to complete the good which He began in you. Philippians 1:6

When you put your trust in Jesus Christ, you have a security which will never fail. GOD Himself holds your life in His hands and orders your steps. Psalm 37:23. Being a Christian is not always easy, but Jesus promises to guide you. He said that He will not leave you comfortless. So He sent the Comforter. The Holy Spirit living within you. He guides you and speaks to you. The still small voice within you which teaches you what is right and what is wrong, is GOD's own Spirit which He gave to us when we became children of GOD. He is the Spirit of adoption. GOD's seal of redemption on us. "Proof of purchase" if you like.  Ephesians 1:13-14. By the blood of Jesus shed for us on Calvary, our freedom was bought. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. And the Holy Spirit is our gurantee of our redemption, salvation. That when Jesus comes again we will be hidden in Him. We will be caught up with Him in the clouds and taken safely to Heaven with Him where we will dwell forever.  Here are some Scriptures to consider: -


John 1:12 "Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— "

1 John 3:1  "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him."

1 John 3:10 "This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister."

All of these speak of the incomprehendable, indescribable and endless unconditional love of the Father. He loves us with an undying love That He would send His one and only Son to die in our place, to reconcile us to GOD. You might ask how this came to be. Well in the beginning when GOD created the world, He created man. (Adam and Eve) And they dwelt in perfect harmony with GOD, until the evil one, (the devil or the serpent) deceived Eve (the woman) and she ate of the fruit of the knowledge of Good and Evil- which GOD had commanded them not to eat.  She gave it to her husband (Adam) and he ate also. This is the Fall of Man. Read in more detail. Genesis 2-3.  

I know that whatever happens in life, GOD is able to keep me. Who the Son sets free is free indeed. John 8:36. The moment you accept Jesus into your life, you enter into an everlasting friendship with Allmighty GOD. The best and most important decision you can ever make in life is to follow Jesus. A man does nt consist of just body and mind. He has a soul as well and after the body has died the soul lives forever. Once you accept Christ into your life, you have the guarantee of spending your eternity with Him. If you are not a Christian yet, search your heart and look at the beauty and complexity of nature, which reveals the heart of our omipotent and loving Creator, Heavenly Father and LORD. Romans 14:11, Philippians 2:10. Choose to follow Him now and your life will never be the same.
