Since as believers in Jesus Christ, we have become members of God’s family as “Beatified Beautiful Family Of Jesus Christ” Let us consider the ways that we are transformed from beling as we are into new creatures in Jesus Christ as we supernaturally are ” Sanctified By Faith In Jesus Christ Alone”
Old Testament Scripture Reading: Micah 7:18 -20 (KJV)
Mic 7:18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
Mic 7:19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Mic 7:20 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
New Testament Scripture Reading: 1John 2:22 – 29 (KJV):
1Jn 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1Jn 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
1Jn 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
1Jn 2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
1Jn 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1Jn 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
1Jn 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
Transforming Power Statements:
1) The conclusion of the book of the Prophet Micah is a summary of the realities of the promises originally made to Israel’s patriarch Abraham, concerning the salvation by faith alone in God’s provision of the Savior through his “Seed” that provided complete perpetual forgiveness to all believers by faith alone.
2) When we become “saved” (which is the moment we begin to trust in Jesus Christ, God’s Risen Son) there is an instant reality that begins within each believer, which has been installed by God The Holy Spirit, which operates within the believer, producing a supernatural desire for ‘actual righteousness’ and continues throughout all the remaining days of their life here on earth.
3) The Apostle John speaks on the ‘supernatural stealth’ of the indwelling Holy Spirit Who is provided to each believer in Jesus Christ to enable the course of actual righteousness within us to be manifested physically putting the believer on a course of ever-increasing love for others.
