He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. Colossians 1:13–14 (NKJV) When you were born, you were registered as a member of your parents’ family. Official documents were signed to verify that you were “born of” your mother and father. The trouble is, human beings are imperfect. For a variety of reasons, babies don’t always grow up belonging to the family they were born into. On the other hand, God is perfect. When you made the decision to give your life to Jesus, a spiritual birth happened. Spiritual documents were written as your name was added to the Book of Life in heaven, which contains the names of every person who has …
Build That Personal Relationship With God
For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. Colossians 2:9-10 (NLT) Some of us have been taught right from wrong and can modify our behaviour to match what people expect of us, but we’ve never really formed a personal relationship with God. As believers, two of the most important things we need to learn is who God really is and who we are in Christ. When we grow in our understanding of these two main points, we grow our relationship with God. Even if we’ve served Him our entire lives because we grew up in church, we start to develop a real …
Construya una relación personal con Dios
Porque en Cristo vive toda la plenitud de Dios en un cuerpo humano. Entonces tú también estás completo a través de tu unión con Cristo, quien es la cabeza sobre cada gobernante y autoridad. Colosenses 2:9-10 (NTV) A algunos de nosotros se nos ha enseñado el bien a partir del mal y podemos modificar nuestro comportamiento para que coincida con lo que la gente espera de nosotros, pero nunca hemos formado una relación personal con Dios. Como creyentes, dos de las cosas más importantes que debemos aprender es quién es Dios en realidad y quiénes somos en Cristo. Cuando crecemos en nuestra comprensión de estos dos puntos principales, crece nuestra relación con Dios. Incluso si le hemos servido toda la vida porque crecimos en la …
El comportamiento no determina la identidad
He sido crucificado con Cristo; ya no soy yo quien vive, sino que Cristo vive en mí; y la vida que ahora vivo en la carne, la vivo en la fe del Hijo de Dios, quien me amó y se entregó a sí mismo por mí. Gálatas 2:20 (NKJV) Podemos asumir muchas cosas sobre las elecciones futuras de una persona al analizar sus decisiones pasadas. De hecho, es vital mirar el historial para determinar si usted puede confiar en alguien. Dicho esto, debemos recordar que el historial solo habla del comportamiento de alguien. No habla de sus motivos e intenciones. Y definitivamente no podemos usar el comportamiento para definir la identidad de alguien. El problema es que hacemos esto todo el tiempo. Los padres deben …
Behaviour Doesn’t Determine Identity
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20 (NKJV) We can assume a lot about a person’s future choices by looking at their past decisions. In fact, it’s vital to look at track record to determine if you can trust someone. That being said, we have to remember that track record only speaks to someone’s behaviour. It doesn’t speak to their motives and intentions. And we definitely can’t use behaviour to define someone’s identity. The trouble is, we do this all the time. Parents have to …
