The Household of God Ephesians 2:19
When there is Belief there is a New Life
1. Introduction
There is one way for a man to enter the realm of the Lord and receive verities.
Belief.
As soon as a man believes in the Lord as God a process of a new life is
initiated in that person.
Reading: Romans 10:9-10.
10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved.
Hear the interpretation and explanation.
10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is 22 unto salvation.
When there is belief there is a New Life.
There is one way for a man to enter the realm of the Lord and receive verities.
Belief.
Our belief is the means of access to the Kingdom of our God.
Genesis 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for
righteousness.
When one believes in God as God, a process of righteousness starts in the
person.
And a whole new principle begins working in His life.
One begins to understand the scripture and begins to understand appropriately
the reason for the coming of Christ.
2. Belief is NOT Alignment
Many have assumed that to believe is to align. But the Alignment is what a man
does when he puts his trust in the Lord.
It is when a man puts his trust in the Lord that he aligns.
It is what a man who puts, his trust in God Almighty does.
Alignment does not necessarily come as a result of belief as people usually
align with political parties but hardly because they believe in the candidate.
Alignment is a human thing believing God is stepping into the spiritual.
We must also come to God with ut(utter)most trust and receive into our spirits
the newness of life promised by the Lord in these scriptures
in Romans chapter 6:3,11-13, Genesis 15:6 and Romans 6:1-13.
We don't believe because of what we see, What we see helps us to believe. Acts
13:12. John 10:38.
The Supreme ness of the Lord in all things must be part of the psyche of a child
of God. As every child has complete confidence in their fathers, so should a
child of God be! This will cause you to function properly.
3. Your unqualified trust allows God's intervention in your life.
Philippians 2:5-8
Last week we talked about the difficulty that one has if you are associated with
a person who cannot completely believe in you. It is a difficult situation. I
can easily say the reason we have difficulty in receiving from God. Is it
concept of trust which affects the level of trust.
4. Coming to the Lord starts a spiritual process in a man. Colossians
2:18-19.
When a man's heart is given to God, an automatic metamorphosis begins. When a
television set is connected to electricity, it is then only that it comes into
it's own John 14:1
God has revealed himself to man and paid the ultimate price.
It is a sorry state to seek anything else to trust in your God.
Your wicked parents were able to nurture you. TRUST IN THE LORD!
5. The Burning Heart
Our Acceptance of the Lord as our Father God, affects our life
Luke 24:30-32, didn't out hearts feel like something burning in us when he spoke
to us?
Like 24:45-50, when one believes he is a candidate for the impartation of
promise of the Father. There is an impartation. Let us recognise it and be ready
to receive.
6. Our belief in Christ also affects our physical being
Moses came from the mountain with his face shining Exodus 34:29-31.
In the case of the disciples, the people account that they had been with Jesus.
Acts 4:13
Peter your speech bewrayeth thee Matthew 26:73
We New Creations! Thanks be to God!
Prayer: May I forever live in the New Life given me by the Father through the
death of my Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
Key Morale
Belief Starts the New Life!
