CONTINUED from KINGDOM TV Part 3
At KINGDOM TV, we believe Jesus came to earth to DIE to defeat SIN, to pay a debt we could not pay, and to trust HIS FATHER to resurrect Him after He justified us (paid our debt IN FULL to set us free forever). Jesus is LOVE, and He said, “FOLLOW ME!”
"having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross." Colossians 2:14
Love has surrendered all that is dead, and He nailed ALL SIN to His cross, and as a consequence, we were SET FREE forever if we RECEIVE IT and stand on it as truth.
"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly." Galatians 2:20-21
At KINGDOM TV, we believe we now live through and in the FATHER because we are IN CHRIST. We are made ONE with Christ, and now we LIVE in and FROM the Father’s heart, all because of what Jesus did. This truth transforms us into HIS IMAGE by Grace through FAITH working in LOVE.
"For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son." Colossians 1:13
Jesus said, FOLLOW ME. Jesus would not command us to FOLLOW HIM unless He also promised to TRANSFORM US into His image and likeness so that WE COULD FOLLOW HIM. He also gave us HIS GRACE, which is His power.
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” John 10:10
KINGDOM TV believes THE Father’s original PLAN OF LOVE was always to see us LIKE HIM.
"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." John 10:27
GET THE APP and BE TRANSFORMED INTO THE IMAGE OF CHRIST!
GET THE APP NOW!The Transformation, the ONE ACT OF FAITHFULNESS, made us all righteous.
"But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us" Ephesians 2:4
At KINGDOM TV, we believe this was the Father's original plan from before the BEGINNING. This is HIS FIRST LOVE.
"In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." 1 John 4:10
By the Father’s love for us, which is His will, we HAVE BEEN transformed by the WORD of TRUTH.
"In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures." James 1:18
Once we have RECEIVED the Father’s LOVE in CHRIST, nothing will separate us from HIM. The Bible declares that NOTHING can separate us from the love of God in Christ, not even ourselves. We are saved and made whole as a gift of Grace, which is HIS LOVE from before the foundation of the world.
"For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39
THE BEST EXAMPLE of the LOVE of GOD, the transformation of Christ, which is to be MADE RIGHTEOUS in God’s sight, is found in the incredible transformation story of SAUL, as He was miraculously transformed into to the Apostle PAUL. According to the Bible, Saul, THE HORRIBLE CHRISTIAN KILLER, was made righteous by FAITH. In other words, SAUL BELIEVED nothing more and nothing less.
"But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." Galatians 6:14
Yes, this murderer, SAUL, relentlessly persecuted the early followers of Christ. But the Grace of God through Jesus encountered Saul, and he was CRUCIFIED and TRANSFORMED, instantly and without effort by Saul.
"But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me." 1 Corinthians 15:10
Saul, THE guy most early Christians feared THE MOST, was TRANSFORMED by Jesus HIMSELF. Saul was not seeking Jesus, but He received ALL OF HIM by Grace.
"But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are.” Acts 15:11
Saul even received a new NAME, the name of GRACE, which is Paul. This same man Saul, who BECAME RIGHTEOUS and renamed Paul, would go on to write most of the New Testament.
"And the Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for A MAN FROM TARSUS NAMED SAUL, for he is praying, and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him, so that he might regain his sight.” But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he did to Your saints at Jerusalem; and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your name.” But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel; for I will show him how much he must suffer for My name’s sake.” So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying his hands on him said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized; and he took food and was strengthened. Now for several days he was with the disciples who were at Damascus, and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “HE IS THE SON OF GOD.” All those hearing him continued to be amazed, and were saying, “Is this not he who in Jerusalem destroyed those who called on this name, and who had come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?” But Saul kept increasing in strength and confounding the Jews who lived at Damascus by proving that this Jesus is the Christ." Acts 9:11-22
By the BLOOD of CHRIST, which is an act of GRACE, we at KINGDOM TV believe we have ALL been MADE RIGHTEOUSNESS. We all have been made as righteous as JESUS.
"After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 5:10-11
We have been given His divine nature. WE ARE CHRISTIANS, made in HIS IMAGE! The Apostle Paul wrote…
"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." Ephesians 2:10
As CHRISTLIKE Christians at KINGDOM TV, we believe that we have been given a full measure of God’s Grace, the same MEASURE as Jesus, and we have been GIVEN his PEACE, JOY, MERCY, WISDOM, PATIENCE, PERSEVERANCE, LONGSUFFERING, KINDNESS, FAITHFULNESS, and LOVE!
