JCs • Life
What is JCs Life? • Jesus gave His life for ours • We are to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to God.
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2
God’s Breath
God breathed the breath of life into us giving a soul that makes us different from all other creatures in the earth.
Genesis 2:7
The Life is in the blood.
The atonement for sins is only by the blood which brings life this is why it is by Jesus Blood that we have atonement.
Leviticus 17:11
Authority of God.
Jesus came to show us how to live our lives under the authority of God the father and the direction of His Holy Spirit. The Lord God will bless us when we live according to His will for us. We must do our best to live a right, just and fair life.
Deuteronomy 30:14-16, Psalm 16:11, Psalm 146:2, Proverbs 1:3, Proverbs 4:13
Living Sacrifices
We are to live a life of sacrifice unto God. We are to live a holy pleasing life in honor of God and the grace He has
shown us. We are not to think too highly, but humbly live as servants. We are to seek and fulfill God’s will for our lives.
Romans 12
Christ In Me
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20
Not By Works
We receive the gift of eternal life from Jesus and he imparts his righteousness into us so that we can overcome the power of sin in our lives. We were once slaves to sin, but through Christ we are free from sin and slaves to righteousness.
Righteousness
This is not something we do it is something that we are by Christ. We choose each day to live our lives in honor of His loving sacrifice on our behalf. We choose to live a righteous life because through Christ we have made righteousness our master and not sin. We still live in our bodies that desire sin, but we must choose to overcome these desires.
Be Transformed
When your Born-Again you are a new creation. The old flesh has gone and the new has come. We are to overcome our flesh and the sins of this world. We are to transform our minds to be Christ-like (Christian). Not as puppets, but as His children.
Friend of God
Jesus calls us His friend, not His slave, not just His child, not just His brother, but His friend because a friend knows his business. God has made know all things through His son Jesus to us. We are called heirs with Christ as Sons of God and we are brothers with Jesus, but we are also His friend.
