How to Have God’s Life Living in You, Part 74: Consecration, Abiding in Christ, and the Great White Throne
Six-Paragraph Summary
Letters from Around the World
The episode opens with Pastor Tony Alamo introducing part 74 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, identified as program 176. He prays for the service and then turns to letters from listeners in India, New Jersey, Ghana, and the United Kingdom. The letters express appreciation for the ministry’s literature, tapes, CDs, and broadcasts, and several writers request Bibles, religious materials, and additional messages. Alamo responds by directing that materials be sent and by framing the correspondence as evidence of the ministry’s global reach.
Emphasis on Consecration
A major theme of the episode is consecration, which Alamo describes as fully giving oneself to God rather than merely professing Christianity. He argues that salvation must be followed by a holy life and daily service, and he contrasts outward religious behavior with what he presents as true inward surrender. He repeatedly uses altar imagery, comparing consecration to an Old Testament burnt offering, where the old self is symbolically destroyed so that God’s life may operate through the believer.
Criticism of Hypocrisy and Religious Opposition
Throughout the message, Alamo sharply criticizes people he views as hypocrites, especially those inside churches who, in his view, obstruct ministry work or fail to live according to Scripture. He compares such people to Pharisees, scribes, whitewashed tombs, serpents, chaff, and goats. These claims are presented as his religious interpretation and are delivered in a confrontational tone. He also makes strong statements about outside religious groups, government authorities, and alleged opposition to his ministry.
The Great White Throne and Judgment
Alamo connects the subject of consecration to the Great White Throne Judgment in Revelation 20. He teaches that people who do not have Christ living in them will face divine judgment and eternal punishment. He contrasts earthly life, which he describes as brief, with eternity, which he says will be spent either in heaven or in hell and the lake of fire. The message stresses urgency, warning listeners not to delay repentance or rely on their own ideas of salvation.
Being “In Christ” Versus “Abiding in Christ”
The second major teaching section distinguishes between being “in Christ” and “abiding in Christ.” Alamo explains that being in Christ refers to salvation and union with Christ, while abiding in Christ refers to ongoing fellowship, obedience, and allowing Christ to live through the believer. He uses the metaphor of a house to say that a person must not invite Christ in and then push Him out in order to sin. In his view, true Christianity requires continual surrender and daily communion with God.
Closing Prayer and Program Information
The episode ends with a salvation and consecration prayer, inviting listeners to accept Jesus Christ, ask for forgiveness, and commit to abiding in Him. Alamo emphasizes that the purpose of the broadcast is to bring listeners to salvation rather than to collect money, while also noting the cost of radio broadcasting. A program assistant then gives contact information for ordering the tape or CD, including the ministry website, mailing address, phone number, and fax number. Alamo closes by encouraging listeners to continue abiding in Christ.
