        PART 111


(copied from Mark Cahill's Book)

Chapter 10

Who am I ?

Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature; old 
things have passed away; behold all things have become new.
- Apostle Paul : 2nd Corinthians 5:17.

An amazing thing happens when you become a
Christian. The things you once loved you now hate, and the things you once hated you now love.
Think about it, as the journey to serve the King
continues.

If you have not made the decision to follow Jesus, read on to see what you will experience when you finally surrender your life to Him.

If you have made your decision for Jesus Christ you are going to be amazed at what you read now.
You are now officially a totally different person in God's eyes - a new creature in the eyes of God. You have been justified. The ransom has been paid in full. No debt remains to be paid for your sin.
It is forgiven!  You are a different person!

One guy put it this way :

"If you played football, you are as good as your talent and work level. But if, one day, Michael Vick came to live inside of you, look at the changes: you could run a 4.2  40 yard dash, 
you would have lightning quick moves and an arm that could throw a football the field with a flick of the wrist. You are now a totally different player.  Why?  Something changed on the inside."

This leaves out one thing: Having Michael
Vick inside you would not give your Michael Vick's body. So the desire to be great might be there, but would you have the ability to be great?

But when the Son of God is living inside of you, and has changed your life by what He did for you,
life is truly worth living!  Although Michael Vick living inside of you  might change your life, you better believe that the Son of God WILL  change your life in unimaginable ways, now that you 
believe in Him. 

God tells us that :

"even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to His saints. 
To whom God would make known  what is the riches of the glory of the mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. "  
(Colossians 1:26-27)

You now have the Son of God living inside of you. You are going to be humbled by the changes that will be occurring in your life!  Look at who you become as a follower of Jesus Christ:

"I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I but Christ lives in me, and the life that 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)

Jesus now lives in you and through you. As Spurgeon said:  "The more you reaffirm who you are in Christ, the more your behavior will begin to reflect you true identity!"
