We are qualified to the extent that God is the qualifier!




Christian, what is God, “in Christ,” asking you to do?  Do you feel unqualified?  You should feel unqualified, because you are - apart from Him.  We are qualified to the extent that God is the qualifier!

 Remember who you are as a Christ/one. You are in relational union with Him.  Don’t think in terms of separation but, union in Christ.  Not essentially one, as only God is God and you are not God but, relationally - one with God.  You are in spiritual union with God relationally. 

               -“The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God”                                 (Romans 8:16) 

God is the believers “center point” or “point of reference.”  Man does not “do anything on his own” as if he is an independent self.  Man is always dependent on the God who has dominion over him.

-         Christ indwells the believer. (Romans 8:9)
-         We have been saved by His Life (Romans 5:10) so we have a “new point of reference”
-         “Christ in you the hope of glory.” Colossians 1: 27 
-         “So we may boldly say:  The LORD is my helper; I will not fear.  What can man     do to me?” (Hebrews 13:6)  
-         Begin to believe in who you are in Christ.  (Galatians 5:10) 
-         “I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view…”
-         Because “…if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17) 

We are qualified to the extent that God is the qualifier and we are qualified in Him.  

Go ahead and boldly be you!
