Have you forgotten who you really are?

sermonindex Dec 3, 2013

Your body is God’s Holy Temple.
You are a NEW creation.
The same spirit who has raised Christ from the dead dwells in you.
You have a sound mind.
Christ is your wisdom.
You are Abraham’s seed.
You where made one with GOD and Christ.
You have self control.
You are as righteous as Christ is.
You have Christ Himself dwelling in you. He is YOUR life.
Your old man was Crucified With Christ.
You live by HIS Faith.
God has given you EVERYTHING pertaining to living a holy and Godly life.
You are Complete in Him.

These are the facts!
Why not embrace them and enjoy them?

I find this statement troubling. It implies I am as good as Jesus and everyone who knows me believes otherwise and I do likewise with other saints.

To answer your question why we do not embrace them and enjoy them - it may be because our body has not been completely redeemed - we are still bedeviled by the flesh.

My opinion.
