BS9I - NOBODY LIKE YOU
Our Creator gave us our physical bodies through our mothers. But He makes us alive spiritually through Jesus. What did Jesus tell us was necessary if we are to be part of the Kingdom of God?
John 3:5-7
Jesus died to forgive our sins and rescue us from this evil age we live in….
Galatians 1:4
He cleanses our hearts from its guilt and shame.
Hebrews 10:22
Jesus destroyed the inherited sin nature in us that keeps us sinning in the present.
Romans 6:6
And then, He gives us His own Spirit as our partner throughout life.
John 20:22
Our spirit, alive with Christ’s Spirit, is the way that we relate to God and partner with him to fulfill our purpose.
Romans 8:9
There is nobody like you now and there never will be. For as the saying goes, when God made us, he broke the mold. That’s how unique you are.
The Father made you and I for a purpose and it’s up to us to get close to Jesus so that we can know and understand why we are here. The Apostle Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians:
Ephesians 2:10
Remember also these words that Jesus spoke:
John 15:16
While it’s true Jesus has chosen us, it’s also true that we were given free will. It’s up to us to respond to his choice of us. Since he knows WHY he made us, he’ll start to reveal that to us little by little as we draw near to him. Maybe Christ’s spirit within you will whisper a little idea such as the Roman Cornelius had:
Acts 10:1-6
----as you step out in faith to try it, you’ll discover another piece of the puzzle of meaning and purpose.
Acts 10:7-8, 30-33
And so our life with Jesus goes. We walk together in agreement – listening, obeying, and asking. It’s our relationship with Jesus that matters. He is our mediator with the Father……
1 Timothy 2:5
…… and nothing delights him more than you and I wanting to spend time with him.
He has a big universe to develop in this life AND in the next. You and I have a unique part in that. Let’s not miss what we were made for!
