TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING YOUR POSITION IN CHRIST
Bible Text:2 Cor. 5:17–21
Golden Verse: “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” – 2 Cor. 5:20
BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR: Esther 1–5
In Christ Jesus you become an entirely new creature of God with everything of your past nature gone and deleted forever; you have your relationship settled with God and with others as you carry the message of the gospel to others; you become an messenger of God and you stand right before God (as if you never did anything wrong).
An ambassador represents his home country in another country where he is sent to serve and there he enjoys the privileges of his home president in the country where he is serving. You are Christ ambassador, a messenger of God, serving on earth, representing the God of heaven as His messenger. You are always a foreigner in the country you are serving as an ambassador.
Because you are of Christ you do not conform to the culture of the world (Ro 12:2). You live the heavenly culture while on earth as a pilgrim, in holiness and righteousness (Eph 4:24).
Your home country culture is that you be in charge of the affairs, have dominion and rule in your country of resident bringing the culture of your kingdom from heaven to earth. The kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost (Ro 14:17). You bring the light of God’s kingdom and destroy the works of the devil because you have the power of your kingdom (1 Jn 3:8).
Understanding who you are in Christ is important in doing exploit in His Kingdom. You are created by God in His own image and likeness making you a partaker of Him. You are His extension on earth, His handiwork and His investment. You are a partaker of His Kingdom, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. However, your position is tied to your understanding of what God has done for you by Christ sacrificial death and also on your level of growth in Him. Failure to grow into maturity will cause you not to enjoy your inheritance, because you lack understanding of the supernatural provisions available to you as a son and no more a slave. A slave doesn’t have access to inheritance, only sons have access to inheritance. For some we would have to grow from being a child to a son, so as to be able to handle some responsibilities in the kingdom (Gal. 4:1–4).
In your role as an ambassador you promote the affairs of heaven on earth. Your position starts with your relationship as a new creature, a son-ship status given at your new birth. Your state of enmity with God ends and you become His messenger standing in His righteousness to the nations.
PRAYER:
Father, grant me the grace to perfectly understand my position in You. Amen.
