The identity that Christ gives you

in #steemchurch6 years ago

Some time ago, a person I used to advise told me: you think I'm going to take something away from you. I keep reflecting on his words, and God spoke to my heart at that moment. Maybe a man can take away what I have given before the foundation of the world?

Identity In Christ - 3 Aspects That Determines The Character Of Man

The primary purpose of God for all creation is to establish his kingdom on earth through man, every man and woman has been created by God with the identity in Christ and a unique and special design, to understand the will of God and obey it perfectly. Since always God has wanted to transfer the majestic kingdom of the heavens to the earth through human beings, basically this determines a true development in our reason and the purpose of being able to remain in this world.

Only man can understand the divine nature of God and in this way make it known on earth. Human beings were designed by an architect, and he made us like a vessel. How is this? the vessel is an element designed with such a unique personality, for God the vessel contains the product assimilating it and affecting the texture, and the form of the material of its elaboration.

What is the character?

There are different concepts and many definitions in terms of the term character even people often use this expression to describe some attitudes, even abuse; tyranny cruelty, domination, inclemency, and emotional explosions.

And we hear in some cases that people who have these attitudes have a bad character, let me tell you that it is not reality, the results of these attitudes are: that it has no character. If we talk about character we can say that it is such a key word for the existence of the human being on earth.

You know why? because she represents the true original identity of man if we do a survey to ask people why are you like that? What would be your limit of success? Why can there be so many inconsistencies in society? What would be the perfect? Where are you from and where are you going? What is your future? For many it is somewhat difficult to answer, do you know Why? When one does not know where it comes from, it is difficult to distinguish and measure the path traveled in life.

The character is the original nature with which we were extraordinarily designed by the number one architect, called God and unless we have the broad knowledge, that it is God who brought us a destiny, we can never restore in our originality that purpose for our life.

In Genesis 1: 26 Then God said let us make man in our image according to our likeness and master.

Then we interpret this verse as a unique and special design that God determined for each man because it comes from him, that design comes from his being; in its image and its likeness to rule over the land but today it is difficult because the original mold of that design was lost.

How do we recover it? Trying to transform our life under his holy spirit. It is fundamental to know that one of the most important and fundamental needs for the human race is the character according to the character of Jesus, he came to earth to show what was the original design of the character in man, in order to have knowledge and put it in practice.

The purpose of God was to give an identity to their children formed in the character of their similarity and to know that identity in Christ you must seek intimacy with our Lord.

Relevant aspects to find identity in Christ:

1.- First knowing the purpose:
God made man with a unique purpose and was to master, that in the original Hebrew language comes from an etymological root and is defined in the following way; govern, reign, command dominate, and subdue, this responds to the reason of the innate motivations that men have to conquer, dominate, and prosper, since our DNA (scientific term) that after finishing our genetic identity, contains this motivating element totally natural that was given to us, and granted by the God of Glory, at the moment of our creation, and that consequently gave us as luggage in our spirit, soul and body, an important requirement to fulfill our purpose of life on this earth .

2.- The second aspect; knowing our identity
We were created with the aim of achieving the purpose of life, but it is important to know about what our identity is, because if we do not have the original nature, then this will take us away from the purpose.

Before God declares the purpose for man on earth, God first endowed him with his image and likeness, to determine his nature and identity, adding to these his attributes. In very profound words this reveals to us the great original characteristics of human beings, which is equal to a character.

The original terms of biblical Hebrew to determine what is image and likeness are translated: (being the shadow of something to show its figure and representative) one of the biblically proven statements about what character is, is that man, or the first man was created in the original image of God. In Genesis we can see sustenance, its full description of how man was created.

3.- The image of God in Jesus defines the character
The original text to give the description that Jesus is the image of God is the Greek word character, which tells us that the original image with which we were created represents all its magnitude; the character of God. That character was implanted in human nature to enable it and qualify it in a total development, and potential to live on earth, in order to make it possible to achieve the purpose of life that God had determined.

While we know that the first man lost character and for this reason he also lost the ability, and the power of influence to rule over the Earth. Because we were taken from a totally exclusive unique mold that is God, in this way the character is unique, and has no varieties, no changes since the original mode is not changing, and is totally unique. God is the same yesterday, today, and for centuries, of the centuries.

How did man lose the original identity?
While man had the character he could also enjoy the power of influence to rule over the earth. The question we ask ourselves What happened to that original mold of character? As we all know, the disobedience in Eden was decisive to be destitute of those magnificent characteristics that resulted in the character of God in man, but for a certain time, since then God decided to give an opportunity, through Christ, to recover the character that had been endowed to human beings.

In Genesis 37 then both eyes were opened and they knew that they were naked.

When we speak of expression; opening our eyes we refer to the fact that immediately at this moment the man was distorted his character, and as a great consequence he was disabled to have a positive operation within the kingdom of God. By sinning the only thing that changed in all creation was the character of man, since the earth remains the same, God is the same, the kingdom of heaven represents the same characteristic.

The only hope for man to be fully restored to his unique and original position is in the recovery of identity in Christ and that character, for which he was created in the beginning. Without character there is definitely no power to achieve God's purpose.

The objective that the hosts of evil had to incite man to sin was to leave him disabled, immovable at the time they disfigured the image of God within him, that unique and original mold that contained the man in his being was moved, was removed and changed , there was a noticeable change.

Then the lordship and dominion was no longer determined, in its state of prostration, man remained in a state of slavery. We can say that the character of man in God is what will lead us to find the unique and original purpose for which we were created. We have to understand that, the power of character in the kingdom is fundamental.

►Reflexiona:

The kingdom of God or the kingdom of heaven are not a philosophy, it is not even a doctrinal wave, as something that is fashionable in these last times, sometimes it is difficult to explain it by means of words since the kingdom of God simply , is demonstrable by the tangible evidences of a sovereign God. When we understand the power of character in the kingdom we enter a new supernatural dimension.

Our behavior and how we act depends on our identity. If I know my identity in Christ, I can do, be his instruments to demonstrate the power that has been given to us through the Holy Spirit, If I think I am unworthy, I will act like a beggar and I will never have faith that God listens to me . If I feel sorry, I can not make war against the enemy of the brothers who accuses us day and night .

Identity is what we think about ourselves at the bottom of our heart, which determines our actions, character, behavior, results, achievements, etc.
It is the foundation of what we are and the foundation of how we are going to live our lives.
It is from where the fruits of our life emanate. Good message @ Darlenys01 .. Blessings

Our identity is only in Jesus, should not, not change it for nothing since he died for us and we believed in him as our Lord and in that moment we have the best identity and be known as followers of Him.
