 So almost come to the last chapter, if you try the best, maybe in the last chapter on identity in Christ. So I want to know, how was that journey? As we almost come to the most task on the end of this chapter, how we identify ourselves in Christ? I know each of us are enjoying this word, because we talk of each other in variation with the word and its spirit. And I want to know, how was it applied in our life? How we apply it in our daily lives? Is our mind being renewed? Is there a change in our life? Is our mind's transformed? So we need to ask or question ourselves. Am I thinking the way that Jesus got? Is my eyes being transformed? Am I seeing the transformed lives with me? Or is it way like, okay, when I find a word, I change myself, then slowly I am transformed? Is that what God is asking us? We need to change that, because in the book of James, he says, those who we work on, like the waves of the sea, which gets tossed, don't ask anything, don't expect anything, go out of it. So if our life is going up and down, maybe here in the world, we receive the word and then we, you know, get inspired. Yes, that's the point. It's part of the transformation. We change, but then as it's over, the other way, we get back up. Because, yes, that we get out of that in a certain sense, because we are still imagined. Do you think that's what the word of God says? Is that what God is expecting from each of us? Do you think we need a type that pleases God as we need to think later? That means we have come to the end of this chapter, where we are right then, if I'm not saying. Okay, let's turn to Ann Rose. We are on page 116, 116. The topic we are going to start from, review, talk about, last week we spoke about the benefit of removing our brain. It's a new creation. As we believe in scripture, that the whole thing is possible. We open everything and become real. The other one is creation. So how do we call us that this new creation? Is why could we become real? Am I the new author state? What am I the new author state? No, the answer is on the analogy that the initial first class accredited that we shared about the slum kid being adopted when we were five. So he will be able to inherit every blessing that he has in the future in his house. Only if he uses mind. This child has got a new spine. He will still behave in the same way, storing our form for the next meal. You know, living in poverty, lifestyle, that kind of mindset. So you need to understand that I have everything. What I need, I have the eyes, cheeks. So that understanding that I definitely, in each of us we can take care is when you work with mind. So for us to inherit a specific crisis of the eye, we need to inherit. We need to renew our mind. So this is for you. Again and again. And in the book of Ephesians chapter 22 verse 24 it says that you would of course concerning your slum of contact. That is all of character. That is the nature of the old man. The old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful acts. The old man is meant to be your corrupt. Here we are with the new man. We are in this pureness because we have renewed our mind. Jesus. So verse 23 says, We renew the spirit of your mind and you will put on the new man which has been created according to God in true righteousness and righteousness. We all understand we are not righteous. We are not holy. And we know that Christ was righteous. Christ is holy. But we identify ourselves in Christ. We think on Him. What is righteousness? And this means. So what does it mean? It means that every time we meet Him. We need to give us that God Christ. Only if we can bring Him. Only if we can make up all our candies. Only if we can help Him with us. We need a Christian. A local by our saying is not possible. It is not possible for a Christian to lead a righteous life. The scripture says it is not the way it is. It is not the way it is. It is when you are out of the crowd with the new man. When you are out of the crowd with Christ Jesus, it becomes easy. So how do we root and ground Him with Christ Jesus? Before I cover that part. It says, even before we could get a hold of the crowd with Christ Jesus, the Satanic people lost their tactics while they were alive. Now, how else? And other magicians. So what does it mean? We need to have God. We need to have God over our great people. We are talking about the time we have to speak about the world. The people that we are surrounded by. That's okay. We need to be surrounded by the people. Speak, cause and effect. Speak, word and effect. One would cleanse us. In the book of Proverbs it says, Take correction. So that it will not be sharp. It will only help you. Don't believe your friend who is just your God. Friend always says, hey, that's okay. Come on, yeah, that's okay. Go ahead, go ahead. Whatever you are doing, whatever they are not doing, the friend encourages us to do the things that are not easy to do and that is not helping you. These are the people who go for the correction. They are concerned about it. They are concerned about what we are doing. Receive the correction with the heart of the center so that it may help us. It may help us to go on the way. Go on the path of the school. We don't think when we read the scripture it encourages us. Yes, it encourages us. And the same that has the word of bring correction to us why is it very difficult for people to take up the word of God and flip by because it brings correction because the scripture is expecting us not to lead a life that is calmly, right? Spiritually. Because calmly, this is what the end brings and it makes us, you know, this is how people are in the natural this is how we lead life. Why do we not want to lead a life that is really different? So the kind of mind or the flesh of mind that needs a mind that is governed by the flesh as the moment exists. The desires of the flesh we try to meet every desire deserve the enemy attacks through the desires the lust of the eyes, pride of life lust of the flesh. So it gives us that that desire when we heed to that desire it will lead us to see but the benefit comes as a desire when we take hold of it and say we speak scripture to it you see if you don't heed the calmness of the desire but then you are spiritual you speak the word of God. So this is what it says a carnally vile person seeks to fulfill the lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life we either do not try to sustain so what God has been doing this is our own unbeliever does things in this room but as a believer what does that mean to see? As a believer how do you know our mind? this scripture from Romans 8 Romans 8 says those who are the valent cannot please one those who are the valent of the flesh cannot please can I request for the tongue to open 623 can I request for the grace of it? Yes, but we do not encourage the tongue to open and then there is some problem give me a second I am trying to fix the camera thank you okay, Samy, can I give a microphone? is the camera up to the floor? can I voice one of it? I mean the voice volume is very low so the volume is very low should I do something in my laptop? laptop voice thanks, Samy thank you am I audible? still not able to hear Sam, am I clear? am I audible? yes, ma'am okay, thank you thank you so much, thank you guys thank you okay, thanks Sam sometimes zero if there is a problem in the audio or the video request you to please unmute and say sometimes we may not look at the chat because I keep it minimized so I just request you to please unmute and speak out so that we know okay, class we are talking about the carnally minded, okay what is the difference between carnally minded and being spiritually minded so I am just giving a recap we read on Romans 8 6 where it talks about to be carnally or fleshly minded means you have a mind governed by flesh and we also looked into 1 John 216 which says living to please one's flesh desire a carnally minded person seeks to fulfill the lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life so as we talk about these three things are you remembered with something where did the enemy attack the human with these three things that is the lust of flesh lust of eyes and the pride of life anyone online on campus where did the enemy attack the human with these three areas yes Anand the very first time that the enemy attacked with these three things was to Eve the lust of the eyes he created a desire out of that apple if you eat this nothing will happen you will become more like God lust of flesh pride of life you will become more like God you will not diverse the lust of flesh and you will become more like God was the pride of life and the same tactic uses every time he tempts human same thing more than something so here we see the unbeliever does not realize certain things of the enemy that is the way he plans it but as a believer we are aware because the Lord has warned us before in Romans 6 23 can I request you all to please turn to Romans 6 23 and the other person Romans 8 8 Romans 6 23 for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord so the wages of sin is death but but the gift of God is eternal life so here the scripture God is asking us to be focused on the wages of sin the every flesh desire that we give heat to will lead us to corrupt nature and eventually it will lead us to sin but then the gift of God is eternal life gift of God is eternal life and that life as full of joy the enemies lies are saying that if you walk with the discipline of God or if you lead a life that pleases God there is no joy there is no fun this is what the enemy speaks to each of our mind and it entices us with these lies and leads us away from Christ and here it says Romans 8 8 can I request you all to read Romans 8 8 so then those who are in the flesh cannot please God so we need to understand what the scripture says those who are in the flesh those who are in the flesh cannot please God cannot please God because the desire of the flesh is to draw you away from God there is nothing that would please God so there is a very big difference from what we see between you know to who live life in flesh and who live life according to the spirit so we read in Romans 8 5 can I request you all to please Romans 8 verse 5 for those who live according to the flesh shed their minds on the things of the flesh but those who live according to the spirit the things of the spirit Romans 6 also things of the spirit for to be carnally minded is death but to be spiritually minded is life and peace thank you so as a believer as a believer we need to intentionally lead our life that pleases God because life governed by the spirit is where you see this eternal life and there is peace in that life so we need to intentionally set ourselves what pleases God so this is what it says that we need to get ourselves aligned where we can identify ourselves in Christ Jesus so that we can respond to every situation that the enemy comes you know brings it against us in the word of God so here you see in 1 Corinthians chapter 3 verse 3 1 Corinthians chapter 3 verse 3 can I request you all to please you are still worldly for science there is jealousy and curdling among you are you not worldly are you not acting like more humans okay 1 Corinthians chapter 3 verse 3 says for you are still carnally for where there are envy where there is strife and divisions among you are you not carnally and behaving like mermen that means like the other men of the world because when Christ is called us it is expecting certain value to be carried through us for us to identify ourselves in Christ we need to change our mind by renewing our mind and change that may affect our behavior the way we lead our life because our life should be pleasing God so if our life still has certain things of the carnal person like what is there envy drive division in the scripture says you are still leading a life that is carnal and here you see carnally minded believers there are about 5 points that is listed in our notes have death instead of life and peace cannot please God actually find themselves doing things contrary to God's ways you see it is against God's ways end up in bondage to sin and addiction if you continue to lead your life in this way you will land up again getting into the same bondage and sin and addiction find it difficult to understand the things of the spirit even if somebody speaks to you about the ways of God because our mind is so much inclined to the carnal ways it becomes very difficult for mind to understand God's ways and behave like the murdered man that is like the others of the world but what is the word of God encouraging us to do is asking us to set a focus on Christ keep our self away from the lies of the enemy and set our self so that this renewed person the newness that we find in Christ Jesus take place may get rooted because when we tend to swing on one extreme okay now I am very spiritual I need to put away all these things I need to you know being spiritually minded is to live above the earthly life no being spiritually minded is handling the earthly things in the heavenly ways as per God's principle as per the teaching of the word of God so here we see that we need to we need to embrace the spiritual principles that the word of God speaks to us so that we can lead our life on this earth that which may please God so here it says wisdom is the ability to take the principles of the heavenly realm and apply it correctly to daily life situation in a practical way so we need to ask God increase me in your wisdom that I may apply your spiritual principle in my daily life that I may lead a life that pleases you so we see that in Matthew 10 16 scripture says behold I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves so Jesus is aware God is aware of the things of this earth so that's why he's saying I'm sending you in midst of this but I'm warning you be wise as serpent and harmless as doves and in Luke 16 8 is for the sons of this world are more shrewd their generation that the sons of than the sons of light so what is Jesus saying here in Luke 16 8 actually he's actually in turn telling us the sons of light should be able to walk in a greater wisdom though the sons of the world are more shrewd in their generation but here Jesus is encouraging us you have the greater in you who is that Jesus greater is he who's in us than he that is in the world so God Jesus is encouraging each one of us to grow in his wisdom that we may tackle the people of this world so that the son of light should be able to walk in a greater wisdom than the sons of the world so I request you to please read the book APC publication on being spiritually minded and earthly wise I'll just post that link for y'all on the chat give me a minute okay request all to please download this book read through and you know you can submit an assignment of your understanding from this book directly on google classwork for online students and for on campus students you can write and submit it either on paper or you can do it on a word doc and email it to me okay so how do we walk in spirit Galatians 5 16 Galatians chapter 5 verse 16 18 and 25 it reads saying that I say then walk in the spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh but if you are led by the spirit you are not under the law if we live in the spirit let us also walk in the spirit believers we are to walk in the spirit we are to be led by the spirit and to live in the spirit three things we are to walk in the spirit we are to be led by the spirit and we need to live by the spirit so as we walk in the spirit we need to live out the spirit instead of according to the you know the the desire of the flesh we need to walk in the spirit so that manifest the life of Christ which is expressed through the fruit of the Spirit and in Galatians 5 22 and 23 we see that as we do so we are transformed into Christ likeness so that Jesus is formed in us and this seen in us how as we lead our life when we lead our life we lead our life that pleases God the people should witness Christ likeness in us so how do we walk in Him? we need to walk like how Jesus demonstrated on this earth in Colossians chapter 2 verse 6 to 7 it says as you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord so walk in Him how do we walk in Him? we can only walk in Him as stated in verse 7 says rooted and built up in Him established in the faith as you have been taught bounding in it thanksgiving we can only walk with Christ when we are rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus so how do we get rooted and grounded by meditating on the word by spending more time in prayer so that God reveals Jesus reveals himself to us so that we can abide in Him and in us so this is what Jesus said you know when he was living on this earth in John chapter 5 verse 19 and 20 John chapter 5 verse 19 and 20 he says then Jesus answered and said to them most assuredly I say to you the Son can do nothing of himself but what he sees father do for whatever he does the Son also doesn't like manner for the father loves the Son and shows him all things that he himself does and he will show him greater works than these that you may marvel so when Jesus lived on this earth he did not do anything on his own he did everything what is what he saw his father do Jesus just demonstrated the love of God to us he could only do because he was connected with father so now Jesus is encouraging each of us as we lead our life on this earth we can be connected with him so when we are connected with him he will be the imitators of Christ on this earth just like how Paul demonstrated Paul was so much connected when I'm talking about Apostle Paul Paul was so much connected with God with Jesus that he demonstrated Jesus in his life in fact some of the church members when he went out preaching on his missionary journey they said though we have not seen Jesus directly but we have seen Jesus through Apostle Paul so that's how he was rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus he also went as an Apostle he also went to an extent of saying imitate me as I imitate Christ that means just imagine if a leader if a person like Apostle Paul could make such a statement that means he has led his life that pleases God and for him to make this very bold statement I am imitating Christ in all my ways and you're even Jesus says I'm imitating my father I don't do anything of my own what I've not seen my father do so what is Jesus trying to teach this year he's saying living on this earth is not difficult to do the things that pleases God I have water life so I'm sure you can also do it you can do much more easier why because I am living in you I'm abiding in you that's what in John 1515 Jesus demonstrates the relationship between the wine and the branch he says when the wine and the branch are together abiding together there's a union with them they can bear much fruit and he also says that in the same chapter you cannot do anything without me without me you cannot do anything so for us to be fruitful for us to walk on this earth with heavenly with spiritual discipline or with spiritual principles is only through Christ Jesus so we need to get ourself rooted and grounded in him just like how Jesus walked with father we also should walk with Christ Jesus in our daily life so that in 1 Peter 3 16 says having conscious can I request y'all to read please aren't you can read having the good conscience that when they defame you as evil doers those who revive your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed so in 1 Peter 3 16 he says having a good conscience that when they defame you as evil doers even if somebody accuse you saying that you did wrong those are right of good contact in Christ may be ashamed so that we need to walk in the way that pleases God and 1 Corinthians chapter 8 verse 6 says yet for us there is one God the Father of whom are all things that we are for him and one Lord Jesus Christ through whom are all things and through whom we live so everything we are is because of Christ so we live in union with God through God out from him so how do we handle our social and family relationship and the Lord very clearly sees in 1 Corinthians chapter 7 verse 22 to 39 it's most to do with this because the scriptures as the power changes the scripture has the power it's not our words the words may inspire you but it may not empower you empowerment last long the scripture empowers each one of us scripture has the power to break us to build us and to build us strong in the Lord so here the scripture says in 1 Corinthians chapter 7 verse 22 and 39 it says for he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord's free man likewise he was called while free in Christ's slave his Christ slave a wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives but if her husband dies she is she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes only in the Lord and yeah it says in Ephesians 6 1 it says children obey your parents in the Lord but they for this is right so being obedient to our parents is very important Colossians 3 18 wife submit to your husband as it's fitting in the Lord so here we talk about Christ teaching us about obedience about submitting submitting yes to a family in relation to our family but in the social life we see it Lord asking us to be submissive to our leaders to our authorities live and abide by the rule that the set so we as followers Christ we as you know a servant of God we need to be an example so how do we be an example wherever we are maybe at our workplace and our college now ministry where we serve the church we should be the example of Christ Jesus in our contact in our life in the way we talk in our action every area we need to be right front of God how can we be right only when we are rooted in Christ Jesus we see that in Colossians 2 7 as we read before we need to be rooted and built up a name so that we are established in the faith as you have been taught a bounding in it with thanksgiving so very important here there's a figurative been used when a plant is rooted in the ground where the root goes inside the earth where that provides the strength for that plant to stand stand even in midst of storm so we when we are rooted in God when we are rooted in Christ Jesus we receive the strength from him he will be our strength so that the storm any kind of temptation that may come away any kind of any any difficult circumstance that when we face we can handle it with strength why because we draw the strength from Christ himself because we are we are grounded in him we receive our strength and what does the plant what does the root do to the plant it gives the strength and it also nourishes the plant so where do we get our nourishment from the Word of God so when we are rooted in grounded in Christ through his word and a spirit we have been strengthened and we have been nourished we get two things we are strengthened and we are nourished if we lack in anything you see a plant when it's growing weak you know this plant is not nourished properly isn't it so we tend to put water we tend to put some fertilizer why so that this plant can be nourished it can grow stronger the same thing applies to us when we are rooted and grounded in Christ it should be a continuous process where we read the Word of God we meditate and we pray on a continuous process so that this body each of us a spirit person has been rooted and grounded in Christ so that we receive this continuous strength and the nourishment from Christ Jesus that we may grow strong so what happens the root of our being should be firmly planted in him so how do we firmly plant it is through three steps one is being setting a focus on Christ Jesus when we set a focus on Jesus we will not fall just like how Peter desired you know when he saw Jesus walk on the water Peter desired Lord can I also walk and what did Jesus say come immediately Peter you know he just stepped out of the boat and he started to walk on the water and what happened there was a big boisterous wind behind him we see that when we read Matthew chapter 14 I think verse 28 maybe from 28 to end when you read it says when Peter saw a big wind coming behind Jesus he just set this focus on that wind he looked at that wind scripture says he looked at the wind the minute he changed his focus from Jesus to the wind he started to drown immediately the scripture says he was afraid the fear came into him so fear is the foundation I'm sure you would have read study this in the faith class fear is the foundation the minute fear came he started drowning and he said Lord help me and immediately Jesus held his hand and lifted him up so what is it for each of us in a walk with the Lord we need to set a focus on Christ Jesus when we set our focus on Christ Jesus no matter how big a storm can come it will not overwhelm us but we will walk straight we will walk over the storm second is build your relationship with Jesus how through your personal time in prayer and in the word when we build a relationship with Jesus he will strengthen us he will nourish us depend on Jesus and act on what his ability means in our life no matter how how many years you grow in the Lord at every moment God is asking us to be dependent on Jesus God is asking us to be dependent on them that's why you know Jesus says in the scripture he says it's very easy for a child to get into the kingdom of God than for a man why a grown-up man has many reasons to reason out in his intellect but the child it is very easy very innocent he just believes every word so God is asking us like a child be dependent on the father no matter how big you grow how long you grow be dependent Lord is this right can I do this inquire with the Lord this is what God said for David God called David as a man after his own art because God was pleased with David because everything David inquired with the Lord he checked with God everything he didn't go behind any man or in his own understanding but he checked with Lord this is something that God is asking us as we build a relationship with God three things God is asking us to do set your focus on Jesus build your relationship with him and then depend on Jesus so that we may not fall we need to be built up in Christ Jesus as we are rooted we need to get ourselves built up in Christ Jesus this is what Apostle Paul is you know uses this metaphor to build us in Christ Jesus and he also brings us in different stages of our spiritual growth in Christ Jesus he states these three stages one is the spiritual growth one is the spiritual growth has said in 1 Corinthians chapter 4 15 I'll read it because of time for though you might have 10,000 instructors in Christ yet you do not have many fathers for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel what as Apostle Paul is saying when he is going on his missionary journey planting churches you know and sharing the gospel he's saying though there are many fathers but you have one father that is in Jesus Christ and I have given that gospel and I am your father so he's saying the spiritual birth he's telling I when I shared the gospel will receive it and you are bring birthed in Christ Jesus so as a new baby okay you there's a birth there's a spiritual birth now second he's saying babies in Christ Jesus yesterday when we were meditating during our supernatural time we read about 1st Peter chapter 2 Peter also says you know we need to crave for Christ for that milk just like babies how babies born to crave so that milk what does it do does it wait for the mother to come and feed him no he cries he kicks he does everything till the milk has been given to the child the similar manner when we when we were birthed in Christ we craved for more of Christ through his word and his spirit we craved and here as a baby is in Christ we crave for this spiritual food and then the third point Apostle Paul makes in Colossians chapter 128 says being matured in Christ Jesus how are we being matured here he says Colossians 128 him we preach warning every man teaching every man and all wisdom that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus so Apostle Paul is saying uniquely first he said you've been birthed in Christ so just like a father I'm your first father as I shared the gospel of Christ y'all have been spiritually been born now second he said babies in Christ he says in 1 Corinthians 3 1 I brethren could not speak to you as to the spiritual people or as to the car but as to carnal as to babies in Christ because you're a baby you're a newborn in Christ I need to speak to you in that term where I cannot give you the meat the strong teaching I need to give you the milk that is needed for the baby because as the baby each one way craving now the third point he says now you're matured okay after many years he's meeting or he's writing letters to the people to the churches that he he formed he built it up now they are matured believers now when he's writing now he's not writing to them like you know I'm your spiritual father y'all are just born no nor he's not writing like you know I'm feeding your mill because y'all are new spiritual babies no now he's addressing to the spiritual people more matured so now is writing is through his warning through his warning see one Colossians sorry Colossians chapter 1 verse 28 he says him we preach warning every man teaching every man and all wisdom so there's a strong teaching his warning is correcting and he's releasing God's wisdom into each one so done every man will be made perfect in Christ Jesus so the teaching is coming very strong because he is not talking to somebody who is carnal he's talking to the spiritual leaders very strong teaching so as he's teaching to them he is encouraging as your leaders yes I'm giving y'all certain warning my words are coming as a strong instruction but at the same time I'm telling you you can walk in this manner and you can reflect Christ is only way John 1515 how when you abide in him and when Christ abides in you you can walk with him why because we have been strengthened we have been nourished and the scripture says when you walk with me and I in you you can be more fruitful so for us to identify ourself in Christ Jesus we need to walk in obedience we need to be more like Christ so how do we see ourself abiding in Christ Jesus we have exceeded that time if you can give me five minutes please I'll complete it is that okay class from online are you're okay with five minutes please okay thank you so I'm not reading John 15 I request you all to read John 15 okay please read John 15 verse 1 to 8 I'll just summarize this we are on page 124 in our notes there are few certain points that has been shared here the characteristics certain characteristics and behavior that will be manifested in us when we have a relationship with Christ when we abide in Christ and Christ abides in us so in our notes we have certain things so we just not those characteristics will be reflected in us it can be much more when we become imitators of Christ Jesus so the very first point talks about we will take on the mind of Christ the very first thing is we will take on the mind of Christ the renewed mind will reflect the mind of Christ second it says in everything we give thanks suddenly there's a heart of gratitude you know renewed mind makes us to get into an action it change our heart's attitude it makes us be thankful in every circumstances see this is the reflection this is the Christ likeness what happened to Paul and Silas when they were in the prison what did they do they rejoiced they sang praise so there's a change in the attitude did they grumble did they complain did they justify themselves did they defend themselves they can but they didn't do anything of that sort but what did they do there was a change in their attitude from where did this attitude come from Christ likeness Christ likeness so this should be in us in everything we should give thanks 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 18 says in everything give thanks why for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus this is the will of God so we need to give thanks we need to carry this heart of gratitude the third point here is we have thought of the spirit we all know from John 14 16 says the Comforter Jesus sent the Comforter to abide in us forever so when the Comforter is abiding in us he who abides in us teaches us speaks to us guides us so he is continuing to do continue to teach us what to do when okay and the fourth we see is we walk in obedience this is the Christ nature we walk in obedience to our authorities to our to our pastors to our leaders wherever we are we walk and we submit because this is what Christ did he walked and he submitted God the Father now 1 John 3 24 says now he who keeps his commandments abides in him and he in him and by this we know that he abides in us by the spirit only has given to us so the Holy Spirit is living in us he will lead us in the way that we will be in obedience and we will be submissive whichever place we are fifth point is we walk in holiness 1 John chapter 3 verse 5 and 6 says and you know that he was manifested to take away our sins and in him there is no sin whoever abides in him does not sin whoever sins has neither seen him nor him remain in him stay connected in him don't step out of the union you have with him so we need to abide in Jesus Christ so this is something the four points that will be reflected in us when we abide in Jesus first is we will take on the mind of Christ in everything we will give thanks third we have been taught by the spirit fourth we walk in obedience and fifth is we walk in holiness because we live in Christ Jesus and we are in him when we are in him we need to be like him we need to be the imitators of Christ Jesus so when people look at us they need they need to identify Christ Jesus in us we need to be is radiance we need to shine the light of Christ in and through us so today Christ is asking today God is asking as you abide in me and I in you can we abide can we get into this partnership so that we can be identified in Christ Jesus so that we can be that light that God is asking us to be we can be that imitator of Christ that God is expecting in and through us we are not an ordinary being we are servant of Christ Jesus when we are his servant as a good servant imitates his master a good servant imitates his master so we need to ask ourselves Lord in my walk in my walk am I imitating you is my life reflecting you it should because when we identify ourselves in Christ that means we are inserting ourselves inside Christ and Christ is around us when father looks at each one of us he looks at Christ over us so a father can see that even in our walk on this earth should reflect Christ in our life we should be that aroma of Christ on this earth when we leave can we ask God God help me to identify myself as I identify myself in you I need to reflect you I need to reflect you in all
