Summary:
Salvation is the initial step into our relationship with the Lord. This opens the door for us to accept Him as Lord over our lives, and begins a life long process of us giving our selves to Him in every area of our lives. As we walk on in the footsteps of the pattern Son, we begin to die out to our old nature and take on His nature. As the firstborn son, we too must be pleasing to our Father.
Show Notes:
The very purpose of our being saved was to bring us into a relationship with the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
As we die out to the old nature we become alive to the Christ nature that is within us.
We must remember that we are not the one in control, but it is God in us to work out His good pleasure.
Once you accept the Lord into your life, ownership changes hands and He now owns you.
We must walk in the footsteps of the pattern son, (Jesus Christ) to become just like Him.
This walk with Him is not complicated. We must not let our minds or other things complicate our walk with Him.
Quotes:
The purpose of your salvation, the purpose of being set apart, is that we can be introduced, and be a part of the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
...we look what He did in His time here on the earth. He showed us through His life the kind of life that we have to lead, if we're going to answer His call.
...the more you become alive in the Christ in you, things begin to disappear of your old nature.
Salvation was great, but the Lordship of Jesus Christ coming in to know Him , and to walk with Him in an every moment experience is a real, real experience.
I have accepted the Lord, now what? Now the Lordship of Jesus Christ becomes something of a relationship - and every day, every moment, every part of your being relationship.
You may be giving Him permission, you know, by your yielding your spirit to Him, and submitting your heart to Him, but He's the one doing the work in you and creating you into His image.
You're no longer your own when you open up to accept the Lord.
We have to get a revelation. We find out that Yahshua Messiah, Jesus Christ, is the pattern Son.
...I'm going to walk today is in His footsteps. You're led by the Holy Spirit, and that's the key.
...it's a fun thing because it's not complicated. It's only our human minds and, and all these things that complicate a walk with God, complicate us following in the footsteps of our Messiah.
References:
He must increase, but I must decrease.
I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
