Found in Christ

Found in Christ

Those found in Christ,
are a new creation.
The old has gone, the new
has come.
We have been purified,
as He is pure.
Found in Christ,
Christians have hope.
Yes! living hope.
1 Peter 1: 3-5
"Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which according to his abundant
mercy that begotten us again
unto a lively hope by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead,
To an inheritance incorruptible,
and undefiled, and that fadeth
not away, reserved in heaven
for you,
Who are kept by the power
of God through faith unto
salvation ready to be revealed
in the last time."
Found in Christ,
true, humble, meek, God-fearing
Christians,
have the peace of God.
Guarding our hearts and minds
in Jesus Christ,
our Lord and Savior.
Philippians 4: 7
"And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
will keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus."
In Christ we are taught,
to fear God.
Through fearing God we gain
eternal wisdom,
and understanding.
Found in Christ,
we are as one.
In faith and by believing,
in Jesus Christ,
humble Christians are met,
with God's love,
and richly blessed.
Found in Christ,
our every need is provided.
Proverbs 9: 10-12
"The fear of the Lord is
the beginning of wisdom:
and the knowledge of the
Holy is understanding.
For by me thy days
shall be multiplied, and
the years of thy life
shall be increased.
If thou be wise,
thou shalt be wise for
thyself: but if thou
scornist, thou shalt
bear it."
Romans 8: 1-11
"There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which
are in Christ Jesus, who walk
not after the flesh, but after
the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit
of life in Christ Jesus hath
made me free from the law of
sin and death.
For what the law could
not do, in that it was weak
through the flesh, God sending
his own Son in the likeness
of sinful flesh, and for sin,
condemned sin in the flesh.
That the righteousness of
the law might be fulfilled
in us, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit.
For they that are after
the flesh do mind the things
of the flesh; but they that are
after the Spirit the things
of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded
is death; but to be spiritually
minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind
is enmity against God:
for it is not subject to the
law of God, neither indeed
can be.
So then they that are
in the flesh cannot please
God.
But ye are not in the
flesh, but in the Spirit,
if so be that the Spirit
of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not
the Spirit of Christ,
he is none of his.
And if Christ be in you,
the body is dead because of
sin; but the Spirit is life
because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of him
that raised up Jesus from
the dead dwell in you,
he that raised up Christ
from the dead shall also
quicken your mortal bodies
by his Spirit that dwelleth
in you."
Found in Christ,
God-fearing Christians are
a new creation.
We live in the Spirit of God
in Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 5: 17-18
"Therefore if any man
be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things have
passed away; behold all
things are become new.
And all things are of
God, who hath reconciled us
to himself in Jesus Christ,
and hath given us the
ministry of reconciliation;
To wit that God was
in Christ reconciling the world
unto himself, not imputing their
trespasses unto them; And hath
committed unto us the word of
reconciliation.
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.
For he hath made him
to be sin for us, who knew no
sin; that we might be made
the righteousness of God
in him."

Let's pray;
Dear Father God:
With true humble hearts
we praise you for being a
God of love, a faithful God,
a forgiving God, a caring God
in whom we can trust.
We praise you dear Father,
for the peace that you have
given us in Jesus Christ.
We thank you for the living hope
that we have in the resurrection
of Jesus Christ.
Father, we pray for your will
to be done in our lives.
Give us strength Father, please.
In the mighty name of Jesus.
Father, we most humbly pray,
for a suit of your spiritual
armor to be placed around each
of us, and sealed with the
blood of Jesus.
In faith dear Father we pray
that we may be able to endure,
and persevere to the end of
our trials.
Father, as it is written:
we know that if we are able
to persevere through to the
end of our trials here on earth
we will receive the crown of life,
that you freely give to those
who love you.
Father we humbly thank you,
for the blood of your Son, that
has set us free from sin,
and cleansed us.
We love you Father God,
with our hearts, our minds,
our spirits, and our souls.
Father we pray for guiding
guardian angels to guide us
through our lives here on earth.
Father all things are possible
with you.
Hallelujah!
Father as a fragrant incense,
we lift this humble prayer up
before your throne of grace.
Through the reigning office
of our loving Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.
Amen
