UNDERSTANDING AND TRULY LIVING BY THE GRACE OF GOD IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD IS THE ANSWER!

UNDERSTANDING AND TRULY LIVING BY THE GRACE OF GOD IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD IS THE ANSWER!

It is sad to observe that lots of genuine Christians do not understand the difference between:

1. Living by work or human wisdom and power in this World and

2. Living by grace or divine wisdom and power in this World.

Every human being is naturally born to THINK according to his or her own human natural wisdom and power par time in this World.

Every human being is naturally born to SPEAK according to his or her own human natural wisdom and power par time in this World.

Every human being is naturally born to LIVE according to his or her own human natural wisdom and power par time in this World.

In other words, every human being is naturally born to WALK and WORK according to his or her own human natural wisdom and power in this World.

The above are physically okay for humans by all human standard. That is to say, for all humans that are naturally given birth to into this World.

However, it is not spiritually okay for humans by God's standard for any person who is supernaturally born-again in Christ in this World:

1. To naturally THINK in Christ in this World.

2. To naturally SPEAK in Christ in this World.

3. To naturally LIVE in Christ in this World.

In other words, to naturally WALK and WORK in Christ in this World. No, is not!
(John 3:1-8; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Romans 8).

This is because:

Every genuine child of God is supernaturally born-again to supernaturally THINK according to the divine wisdom and power of the Spirit of Christ within them par time in this World. True!

Every genuine child of God is supernaturally born-again to supernaturally SPEAK according to the divine wisdom and power of the Spirit of Christ within them par time in this World. True!

Every genuine child of God is supernaturally born-again to supernaturally LIVE according to divine wisdom and power of the Spirit of Christ within them par time in this World. True!

In other words, every genuine child of God is supernaturally born-again to supernaturally WALK and WORK according to the divine wisdom and power of the Spirit of Christ within par time in this World. True!
(Ephesians 3:20; Romans 8:1-30; Galatians 5:16-16).

Concerning human wisdom versus divine WISDOM, the Bible counsels thus:

Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own WISDOM. (Proverbs 23:4; 1 Corinthians 4:10).

And further counsels thus:

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness. (1 Corinthians 3:18,19; 1 Corinthians 1:24-31; James 1:5-8; ).

Concerning human power versus divine POWER, the Bible reveals thus:

But as many as received Him (Jesus Christ), to them gave He POWER to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12,13).

And further says thus:

Now unto Him (God) that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that works in us. (Ephesians 3:20).

Every genuine child of God in Christ in this World is expected to walk and work with supernatural Wisdom and Power of God in this World because Jesus Christ who is the WISDOM and POWER of God as the Holy Spirit of God is living within us. (1 Corinthians 1:24; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Romans 8: 1-30).

Jesus Christ as the WISDOM and POWER of God and as the Holy Spirit of God within us is the one and only HOPE, you and I have in this World now as genuine children of God in this World. (Colossians 1:27).

Why is Christ in us our one and only hope on Earth?

Because He (Christ as the Holy Spirit of God) within us is the foundation, source and supply of God's GRACE within and through us. True! Halleluyah!

This is why Apostle Paul said thus:

For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your PRAYER and the SUPPLY of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

But my God shall SUPPLY all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:19; Philippians 4:19).

Note, the above scriptural passage reveals that through PRAYER, the Holy Spirit of God supplies God's GRACE in Christ to us. Halleluyah!

This is why Jesus Christ taught to pray thus:

After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be your name.

 Your kingdom (Holy Spirit) come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

But seek you first the kingdom of God (Holy Spirit) and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.
(Matthews 6:9,10,33; Luke 17:20,21; Romans 8:26-30; Acts 1:4-8).

And said thus:

And He spake a parable unto them to this end that men ought always to PRAY and not to faint... (Luke 18:1-8).

This is why the Bible requests thus:

.... Let us therefore COME boldly unto the throne of GRACE, that we may obtain mercy and FIND grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:12-16).

Furthermore, Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit of God within us is our one and only HOPE in this World because the Bible reveals that:

1. He is within us to TEACH us truth about God and living right for Him from Earth to Heaven. (1 John 2:27; John 16:13-15; John 8:32,36; Job 32:8).

If you consciously and humbly allow Him to teach you in Christ in this World, that is learning or inspiration by GRACE (the support and supply of the Holy Spirit). True!

2. He is within us to GUIDE us to ALL truth about God and Jesus Christ on Earth. (John 16:13-14).

If you consciously and humbly allow Him to guide you in Christ in this World, that is guidance by GRACE (the support and supply of the Holy Spirit). True!

3. He is within us to LEAD us alright from Earth to Heaven. (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).

If you consciously and humbly allow Him to lead you in Christ in this World, that is leading by GRACE (the support and supply of the Holy Spirit). True!

4. He is within us to SHOW us past, present and future things about God, Christ, ourselves and others. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Ephesians 1:15-23).

If you consciously and humbly allow Him to show you things in Christ in this World, that is enlightenment or revelation by GRACE (the support and supply of the Holy Spirit). True!

5. He is within us to EMPOWER us to do natural and supernatural things and live supernaturally in this natural World. (Acts 1:8; Acts 2; Romans 8:1-30; Philippians 4:13).

If you consciously and humbly allow Him to empower you in Christ in this World, that is empowerment by GRACE (the support and supply of the Holy Spirit). True!

6. He is within us to CHASTISE us to live right for God and to as well COMFORT us in hard times on Earth. (Hebrews 12:1-14; John 14:16-18).

If you consciously and humbly allow Him to chastise and comfort you in Christ in this World, that is chastisement and comfort by GRACE (the support and supply of the Holy Spirit). True!

7. He is within us to HELP us through life from Earth to Heaven. (Romans 8:26-28).

If you consciously and humbly allow Him to help you in Christ in this World, that is receiving help by GRACE (the support and supply of the Holy Spirit). True!

Not understanding this and thinking, speaking and living accordingly, will place you on the same position (status) and condition (state) with the people of the World, who are not supernaturally born-again in Christ in this World. True!

This is why the Bible says thus:

God stands in the congregation of the mighty. He judges among the gods.

They know not, neither will they understand. They walk on in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are out of course.

I have said, you are gods. And all of you are children of the most High.

But you shall die LIKE men and fall LIKE one of the princes. (Psalm 82:1,6,7).

Jesus Christ confirmed the above truth thus:

Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods?

If He (God) called them gods, unto whom the word of God came and the scripture cannot be broken. John 10:34,35).

This is why the Bible says that you and I in Christ are:

...a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God, which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. (1 Peter 9,10; Isaiah 62:1-7; Isaiah 60).

This is because Jesus Christ by His death and resurrection and for coming into us as the Holy Spirit of God to walk and work on Earth has made us holy priests and kings (lords) of God on Earth as well as gods of God to reign on Earth. Halleluyah! (Revelation 5:9,10,12; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

The Holy Spirit of Christ coming within us to supernaturally empower us as children of God to think, speak and live (walk and work) like God in Christ in this World is what thinking, speaking and living (walking and working) on Earth by GRACE (the support and supply of the Holy Spirit) truly and really is.

And it is the answer to thinking, speaking and living (walking and working) victoriously and successfully in Christ on Earth. True!

This means that:

1. Consciously, humbly and consistently allowing the Holy Spirit of Christ to influence your thought with the written or spoken Word of God in Christ in this World is what thinking by GRACE (the support and supply of the Holy Spirit) truly and really is. (Romans 12:1,2; Romans 8:1-19; Philippians 4:8,9).

2. Consciously, humbly and consistently allowing the Holy Spirit of Christ to influence your tongue with the written or spoken Word of God in Christ in this World is what speaking by GRACE (the support and supply of the Holy Spirit) truly and really is. (Luke 21:12-15).

3. Consciously, humbly and consistently allowing the Holy Spirit of Christ to influence your choices, decisions and actions with the written or spoken Word of God in Christ in this World is what living by GRACE (the support and supply of the Holy Spirit) truly and really is.

In other words, consciously, humbly and consistently allowing the Holy Spirit of Christ to influence you in all about you with the written or spoken Word of God in Christ in this World is what walking and working by GRACE (the support and supply of the Holy Spirit) truly and really is.

By so doing, you achieve real victory, good success and true satisfaction in Christ in this World. Victory, success and satisfaction without sorrow and shame. True! (Joshua 1:8; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Timothy 2:15).

God wanting us to understand GRACE and think by GRACE, speak by GRACE and live (walk and work) by GRACE is why the Bible reveals to us thus:

Please read these scriptural passages thoughtfully and prayerfully: John 1:12; John 16:13-15; Acts 1:8; Acts 2; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18; Philippians 1:19;
1 John 2:27.

Understanding GRACE perfectly and experiencing true GRACE (the support and supply of the Holy Spirit) is why Apostle Paul boldly declared thus:

I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.

But my God shall SUPPLY all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:13,19; Ephesians 6:10-18).

And boldly said thus:

For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless I live; yet not I, but CHRIST lives IN me. And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. (Galatians 2:19-21).

Also, this is why He said thus:

Not that we are SUFFICIENT of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves. But our SUFFICIENCY is of God.

Who also has made us able ministers of the new testament. Not of the letter, but of the spirit. For the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. (2 Corinthians 3:5,6).

Do you get it?

It is a NEW WAY of living established by God in Christ for humans on the Earth. True! (Hebrews 10:1-25).

Therefore, let nobody deceive you, friend:

1. If you are not consciously, humbly and consistently allowing the Holy Spirit of Christ within you to influence your mind, mouth and motion with the written or spoken Word of God in Christ in this World, you not thinking, speaking and living by the real GRACE of God (support and supply by the Spirit of God) in Christ in this World. True!

2. If you are not consciously, humbly and consistently allowing the Holy Spirit of Christ within you to influence your life and living with the written or spoken Word of God in Christ in this World, you not walking and working by the real GRACE of God (support and supply by the Spirit of God) in Christ in this World. True!

3. If you are not consciously, humbly and consistently allowing the Holy Spirit of Christ within you to teach you, guide you, lead you, show you things, empower you, comfort you and help you in life (in Christ) in this World, you not truly enjoying and living by the real GRACE of God (support and supply by the Spirit of God) in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

But if you be LED of the Spirit, you are not under the law. (Galatians 5:18).

And that:

For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear. But you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

And if children, then heirs. Heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ. If so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. (Romans 8:14-17).

Now, take note, the Bible reveals that:

...It is of FAITH, that it might be by GRACE. To the end the promise might be sure to all the seed. Not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all... (Romans 4:16-25).

And reveals further that:

Now (in this New Testament-covenant era of Christ as the Holy Spirit of God within us) the JUST (the justified by God in Christ in this World) shall live by FAITH. But if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition. But of them that believe to the saving of the soul. (Hebrews 10:38,39).

It is by true and absolute FAITH in God, you can consciously, humbly, obediently and consistently follow the teaching, guidance and leadership of the Holy Spirit of Christ within you in this World.

It is by genuine and absolute FAITH in God, you can consciously, humbly, obediently and consistently accept and use what you are showed, empowered with, comforted with and helped with by the Holy Spirit of Christ within you in this World.

It is by true and absolute FAITH in God you can consciously, humbly, obediently and consistently think, speak and live (walk and work) in Christ in this World and enjoy the GRACE of God (supply by the Spirit of God) in Christ par time in this World.

This is why lots of genuine children of God do not really enjoy the true GRACE of God (support and supply by the Spirit of God) in Christ in this World.

This is because many genuine children of God in Christ in this World do not truly walk and work in FAITH in Christ in this World. True!

That is, many genuine children of God in Christ in this World are not truly thinking, speaking and living by absolute FAITH in Christ in this World to PLEASE God, in other to enjoy His true divine GRACE (support and supply by the Spirit of God) in Christ in this World.

The Bible reveals that:

Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

For by it (FAITH) the elders obtained a good report.

...Without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE Him. For He that comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:1,2,6).

This is because God's throne in this New Testament (covenant) era is a throne of mercy and GRACE and you can only access God's GRACE (support and supply by the Spirit of God) in Christ in this World by FAITH.

Therefore, we are asked thus to:

...come boldly unto the throne of GRACE (not by doubting, but in faith - James 1:5-8). That we may obtain mercy and find GRACE (support and supply by the Spirit of God in Christ) to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:14-16; Philippians 1:19; Philippians 4:19).

If you cannot boldly declare Galatians 2:20 and Philippians 4:13,14 by your experience in Christ in this World, then you are not truly thinking, speaking and living (walking and working) by the true Grace of God (support and supply by the Spirit of God) in Christ in this World. True!

Think about it because it is the answer to your thinking, speaking and living (walking and working) victoriously and successfully in Christ on Earth. True!

Enjoy your a new week of supernatural wisdom and power of God in Christ in Jesus name.

God bless you.
