Jesus loves His Church and He wants you in it. Jesus loves His Church and He wants you to do your part in it. That’s why He died for you. For God sees in you what He wants to make us an irresistible church. That’s our God, and He’s not done with what He wants to make of us

When we bear the fruit of light: with goodness, righteousness and truth, we don’t just live out our identity as children of light – we shine the light of Jesus and we bring hope. And that’s what our world needs right now. You are the light our world needs today! Every one of us who has Christ in us has this potential to shine in the darkness.

The Christian is not to be characterized as someone who takes, but as someone who gives. After all, “God so loved the world that He gave His One and only Son, that whoever believes in Him might not perish, but have eternal life!” Giving to help others is what makes us like God. God is a good and generous God. He gave His best for us. So the point here is not so much as to be useful, but to be useful for the sake of others – to give to help others in need.

We are not to be like the rest of the world who are controlled by their flesh. We are not to be controlled by our feelings, our experiences, or our passions. When we are being controlled by our feelings, we will only love those we feel like loving. When we are being controlled by our circumstances, we will only love when it might benefit us. And when we are controlled by our passions, we don’t love at all, because our passions keep us from seeing those who need the love of Christ. No, we are to be different from the world. And we can live differently from the world. That’s why Jesus sent the Holy Spirit: so we might let Him help us live and love like Jesus.

God wants to make your heart a home for Jesus. But this doesn’t just happen because we want it to happen. It happens when we allow God to transform our hearts with the riches of Christ. It happens when we allow Christ’s Spirit to fortify our hearts with His truth. And it happens when God’s people pray.

You are not the same person you once were. You are now different. God sees you as a holy one, a saint. You were a sinner. But God made you a saint. That’s what it means to embrace your new identity in Christ. To see yourself as God sees you. Fully alive to Him, set-apart for Him, with unlimited potential to do the works He has prepared for you.

God has revealed His kindness and love to us in Jesus. God has given us mercy in Jesus. God has washed us clean through Jesus. God has made us alive with Jesus. God has declared us innocent of guilt and made us totally acceptable in His presence. And now the gospel has given us a place to belong with God forever. That’s why the good news changes everything for us. And why everyone needs the gospel.

If Jesus’ spirit of grace is controlling the spirit within you, then no matter what you face in life, you’ll be all right. Think about this from Paul’s perspective. Even in prison, where everything seems to be against him, he has joy and peace, and is above it all because the grace of the Lord Jesus is with his spirit. He is thankful. He is not envious of other people’s success. He doesn’t complain. He is free from the pull of life’s ambitions. He’s has peace. And He is content.
