RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD - 7 (of 8)

[FAITH]

1. What is the pivot point of all Christianity?

 

     Answer:  1. To advance the establishment of God’s Kingdom throughout the whole earth through our Christ calling as we bear fruit that remains.

 

2. Jesus' substitution and our identification with it. Jesus was made to be sin for us. He never committed sin but he became the nature of sin.  To the extent that I realize that Jesus was made to be sin, that is how much I will see myself as the righteousness of God in Him.

 

"He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." - 2 Corinthians 5:21

 

"He died for all, so that they who live might no longer liver for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf." - 2 Corinthians 5:15

 

"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." - Galatians 2:20

 

 

 

2. What comes as a result of your first seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness?

 

      Answer:  God loves me with the same love that He loves Jesus, since Jesus dwells in me.  I have as much right to expect God to move on my behalf as I would expect Him to respond to Jesus.

 

"When that day comes you will not ask me for anything.  I tell you the truth;  my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." - John 16:23

 

“I in them, and You in Me--that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me and loved them even as You loved Me. – John 17:23

 

"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." - John 15:5

 

 

 

3. Why was David victorious against Goliath?

 

     Answer:  He saw God on his side.  He knew he was in right standing with God and God was for him.

Because of Jesus’ sacrifice we never lose our right standing with God.

 

"What then shall we say to these things?  If God is for us, who is against us?" - Romans 8:31h

 

"But in all these things we over-whelmingly conquer through Him who loved us." - Romans 8:37

 

"For you have made the Lord, my refuge, even the Most High your dwelling place. For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways." - Psalm 91:9,11

 

 

 

4. What is the effect of righteousness (knowing that I am in right standing with God)?

 

      Answer:  Quietness and assurance. I ask, seek, and knock (Matthew 7:7) until I come to understand My Christ calling. (Ephesians 4:1)

 

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.  He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.  He restores my soul." - Psalm 23:1-3

 

“As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received:” – Ephesians 4:1

 

"For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus, having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God." - Philippians 1:6,11

 

 

5. When is it that nothing can prevail against you?

 

      Answer:  When I can be confident of God's willingness to use His power on my behalf because of my right standing with Him.  I have no need to fear what Satan or man can do to me.

 

"For everyone born of God, has overcome the world.  This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith." - 1 John 5:4

 

"But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth." - 1 John 2:20

 

"But the Lord is faithful and will give you strength and will protect you from the Evil One." - 2 Thessalonians 3:3

 

INTO ACTION:

Affirm and meditate on the indicated scriptures four times daily until the renewing of your mind is made real to your spirit.

 

 

           AFFIRMATIONS:

 

Since God is for me, who can successfully come against me? (Romans 8:31)

 

I am more than a conqueror since nothing can separate me from the love of Christ.  (Romans 8:37,39)

 

 

Since I am free in Christ (Romans 8:1,2) (Galatians 5:1) and am always in right standing with God, there is nothing that can prevent me from bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom through my Christ calling. (John 15:16)
