MINISTERING: PST PROFIT J. MATHEW
OUR STATUS IN CHRIST
Text: Col 1:12-14, 2Chron 5:17, Rom. 12:2
Being born again into Christ means that our status has changed in the world. Our status has change from the dominion of darkness to the dominion of light. So if you give your life to God and be born again your status has changed, you now bare the status of Christ Jesus. So therefore if anyone gives his or her life to Christ he or she is a new creature, all things have become new.
A man has a spirit that have a soul that lives in a body. For you to live according or in his status you should get hold of his word, that said he was wounded for our transgression and bruised for our sins(Isaiah 53:2, John 1:12-13, Eph. 2:4-6). When you give your life to Christ it mean your citizenship has change, what is happening to in the world will not happen to you because greater is he that is in you that is in the world (John 4:4, Psalm 105:12).
As long as you have given your life to Christ no one will oppress you, because he has warned kings and wicked people not to harm you (Gen. 12:1-10, Rev. 12:7-9, John 10:30, John 3:6, John 4:24, John 3:8, Exod. 7:7). As soon as you give your life to Christ you have been more than conqueror, no one can oppress you in anyway (Acts 3:22, John 10:34-35, Psalm 82:5-7).
