SERMON NOTES:
Get to Know the New You in Christ
You are a Spirit, you have a soul, you live in a body
John 4:23-24 - Amplified Bible
23 But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers. 24 God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
How do you become a Christian, born again?
Romans 10:10 - Amplified Bible
10 For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous—being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 - Blessing and Admonition
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are a 3-part being (Trinity)
When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior (spirit born again)
We are in Christ, New species made brand New
Soul- is transformed by the renewing of your mind, will, emotions
Body- present as a living sacrifice, temple of the Holy Ghost
1 Corinthians 6:17 - Amplified Bible
17 But the one who is united and joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
Once you are a child of God; He sees you in Christ
This is How God sees you in Christ
To get your faith to work at a higher level; Now you need to see yourself the way God sees you (in Christ)
2 Corinthians 5:17 - Amplified Bible
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].
(Passed away) buried have a funeral for the old you (crucified with christ)
Stop identifying/ seeing yourself with your past, your old sinful mistakes, your feelings, circumstances- (that’s the old you)
You just don’t know what I am going through or what happened to me
No I don’t- BUT here is how you get out of it/ Here is how to get unstuck, and enjoy LIFE
Romans 3:22-24 - Amplified Bible
22 This righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for all those [Jew or Gentile] who believe [and trust in Him and acknowledge Him as God’s Son]. There is no distinction, 23 since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] [a]grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus,
Ephesians 1:3 - Amplified Bible
3 Blessed and worthy of praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ,
Already/ past tense blessed you over 2000 years ago
I have all blessings available to me in the spirit realm
Spirit realm stronger than physical realm, spirit realm parent to the physical realm, the spirit realm created the physical realm
2 Peter 1:3-4 - New King James Version
3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the [a]corruption that is in the world through lust.
How do I get all these blessings in heavenly places (already given to me) in heavenly places here on the earth (FAITH)
Ephesians 2:4-6 - Amplified Bible
4 But God, being [so very] rich in mercy, because of His great and wonderful love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ (for by His grace—His undeserved favor and mercy—you have been saved from God’s judgment). 6 And He raised us up together with Him [when we believed], and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, [because we are] in Christ Jesus,
When you walk outside look into the sky as far as you can (heavenly realms)
Our God is so much bigger than this world
We are seated together with Christ and God’s right hand of authority over this world
Take it by faith in His word and what He says about you
Conclusion:
We are in Christ, that is how God sees us, and this is how we need to see ourselves for our faith to work at a high level
Meditate on these “In Christ” scriptures- Declare these verses with your own words over your life
You believe your own voice stronger or more than anyone else’s
Faith comes by hearing and hearing (Declare the promise over the problem)
