WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN CHRIST

WHAT IS FAITH?

"Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]." - Hebrews 11:1 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bendavid/message

GOD'S GRACE HELPS THE CHRISTIAN, IT DOESN'T CONDEMN THEM

"With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,” Says the Lord, your Redeemer. “For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; For as I have sworn That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, So have I sworn That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. 10 For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the Lord, who has mercy on you."

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

HOW DOES A CHRISTIAN DIE TO SELF?

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory." - Colossians 3:1-4 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bendavid/message
