Happy New Year! I’ve been quiet. I’ve been
recovering from surgery. I’m up and about so I’ll be back to give you a post
once a month.
Ephesians
3:20 states “ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all
that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” I was at a
doctor’s appointment in December. I was having a conversation on a spiritual
note about Christ. This person stated “know who you are”. As they continued to
talk they expressed that we all are sinners, but once you accept God. You are
no longer a sinner. You are a child of God. They stated “don’t use you was once
a sinner when you sin or make a mistake as a crutch because you sinned.” As
they continued to go on explaining this got me thinking. How many Christians or
people on this earth don’t know who they are?
The
scripture God has given me this year is Ephesians 3:20. How do these comes into
play? If you don’t know who you are in Christ, the Holy Bible is the word of
God that he has given unto us. How do you know you have these promises? If you
don’t know you have these promises then you can’t proclaim these promises.
Someone said it’s there in the Bible, because I just told you. Again, I stated “know
who you are”; I wouldn’t have to tell you if you know. An example we all have
experienced someone with a body odor. Who cannot smell themselves, that person
don’t know the truth concerning their body odor. If you tell them the truth
with love then he or she will know they have a body odor. Most of all they can
accept it. This way they can accept the truth. If they can’t receive the truth,
they can’t accept the promises.
The promise
of God comes in truth. Truth is defined as the true or actual state of a matter
or conformity with fact or reality; verity. If and when you face reality or the
actual matter at hand, only then will you know who you are. You know you can
take anything that is faced at you, because to know who you are you must deal
in truth.
