July 27 Devotion - Understanding Christianity - We are God's Special People



In the next 7 devotions I will attempt to explain Christianity as defined in The Bible. I presented this once before however I feel that there is a need for the devotions to be repeated and enriched with new material. Please note that the central and only theme of Christianity is Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Saviour, The only begotten Son of God. God has committed the judgement role to The Son.

Jesus said:  “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14: 6, 7
For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, 23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. John 5: 21-23

You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
1 Peter 2:9

انتم فجنس مختار وكهنوت ملوكي امة مقدسة شعب اقتناء لكي تخبروا بفضائل الذي دعاكم من الظلمة الى نوره العجيب.

God shows His love for us (the believers in His Son Jesus Christ) by calling us out of the darkness of sin and into the light of fellowship with Him.
Even more, because God has called us to Himself, He promises to protect that relationship and give us eternal life.

And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
John 10:28
وانا اعطيها حياة ابدية ولن تهلك الى الابد ولا يخطفها احد من يدي .


I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your deep, everlasting and inseparable love. LORD, I pray that out of Your  glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ may continue to dwell in my heart through faith. Thank You Lord that through Christ I am considered one of Your own special people. Thank You that through Your grace Lord You chose me and called me out of darkness into Your marvelous light. Strengthen me Lord to abide in Jesus, the vine, and receive eternal life. Thank You Lord for Your love and for Your assurance that my spirit shall never perish; and no one can snatch me out of Your hand. I declare Jesus as my Lord and Saviour and I pray in His Holy Name. To Him be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.

Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
