Who Am I?

Have you ever asked yourself the question, ‘Who am I? Well, there are 2 schools of thought on this issue; there is the school of thought that says man is a:
1. Natural Being
a. Is born of flesh, Purely Sensory, only interested feeding the lust of the flesh
2. Spiritual Being
a. Is a Spirit, With a Soul, Lives in a Body

In response to the question, Who Am I? We are Spiritual Beings, created in the likeness of God (the greatness, the grace & the glory of Him); the scriptures, tell us, that God is a Spirit [John 4:24]. But get this! That we are, Spiritual Being, is not really the complete answer, the totality of the answer is that we, are Sons of God, more still we are gods [Psalms 82:6].

However, there is a prerequisite for laying claim to the identity Son of God, children of the Most High; this is the requirement, that you recognise, believe in, cleave to, trust in, rely on Christ the Messiah; you may ask, why? The scriptures, also tells us, that the only way, to God, is through Jesus Christ [John 14:6].

To this end our Lord and Saviour, Jesus, gave us two, only 2 conditions to meet:
1. Believe in Him [John 5: 22-24]
2. Be born, anew
a. Unless a man be born anew, he cannot see the Kingdom of God [John 3:3]
b. Unless a man be born of Water and the (Holy) Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God [John 3:5]

We entered the world with a body, because in the world, the physical body must come first, now that it is here, we must now awaken the Spirit, our Spiritual Self by baptism in the Holy Ghost; but first we have to eat the body of Christ and drink the blood of Christ, apportion to ourselves the saving effect of His sacrificial death.

My friends, my brethrens, my people, I invite you to make Christ the Lord of your life, by praying this prayer:

‘I [state your name] believe that Jesus Christ is the True Son of God, the Messiah, who came into the world from God the Father to die for me and cleans my sins. I receive Jesus Christ into my heart, soul & spirit, into my life, as my Lord & Saviour. I declare that I am saved; from this day forth I am a child of God, In Jesus’ Name - Amen’.

It’s been a plum pleasing pleasure and privilege to share with you the Good New.

Be Strong, Peace be upon you, may the Grace of our Lord abound forever in your life. [Find your nearest church @ http://www.christembassy.org]
