The Supernatural Life Through Us
July 9, 2017
There is only one person who has ever lived the Christian life. It’s not you and it’s not Adrian. It is Jesus.
Why? Because no matter where you live your life as a Christian, it is not you; it is Christ living in you. And therefore it will not be a superficial life. It will be a supernatural life.
Major Ian Thomas said, “Jesus never said could. He can. He always said He would. We need to let Him.” We need to let the Lord Jesus Christ live His life in us.
What Jesus began to do in His life on earth, Jesus wants to continue to do through every child of God. Acts 5:12a says, “And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people.” Actually, in the Greek language this reads, “through the hands of the Apostles signs and wonders were done.”
Jesus Christ wants to live His life through you. I am not just playing with words. Paul said, “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Establish Roots to Grow
Just as plants need certain essentials to grow—light, water, and fertile soil—so do new Christians, babes in the faith. Without these essential basic truths of the faith, they will never establish strong roots or bear fruit. What Every Christian Ought to Know is a valuable volume for new Christians and young disciples and a suitably instructive resource for believers of all ages. This new paperback edition includes discussion questions for personal reflection or group study.
