Alive In Christ Series
Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Oct 17, 2015 (message contributor)
Summary: Many Christians are looking to anything and everything to sustain them. But they tragically miss the main thing. They've already been made alive in Christ. It's time to discover the Source of life, and begin living from the Source-to the glory of God!
Romans 6:8, 11
I. Living is a Christ Thing! Philippians 1:21-22
A. Living is Christ living in you.
B. Living is Christ living as you.
II. The Word must become flesh in you. John 1:14
A. Christ is dwelling within you.
B. Christ is manifesting His glory through you.
III. The temple of God Acts 17:24
A. Not a man made temple
B. But a God made temple 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
IV. Living and moving as God
A. Moving as the Spirit moves you 2 Peter 1:21
B. A fruitful life-the fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5:22
C. The fruit of your labors Philippians 1:22
Summary: You are alive by His life! Therefore, as long as you are alive . . . live (keep on keeping on, and hope against hope)—regardless of what you hear, think, or feel to the contrary. Now that’s living Godly in Christ (2 Timothy 3:12)!
Prayer: Dear God, Thank you for making me alive in Christ. I acknowledge that living is only possible as Christ does the living through me. My body is now your temple. I trust you to cause the living Word, Christ Himself to become flesh in me, so that your glory can be manifest through me. Cause me to move only as your Spirit moves me, so that the fruit of your Holy Spirit can be produced in my life. I praise God that I am now able to live Godly in Christ Jesus my Lord!
