The evolution of Christ in the life of a believer!

The word from God today is evolution which is defined as the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form.

We are examining the transformation of a human being from their natural life at birth to a new creature in Christ.

This transformation begins with receiving the gift of salvation. God seals you with the the Holy Spirit who is the life of Christ. He is always at work creating new life in a believer.

The Holy Spirit works to change your thinking patterns and moral values. He changes your perspective on life from living for self to seeking the will of God.

The relationship between faith and experiences will influence your spiritual growth with Jesus. God wants you to trust His promises regardless of difficult or impossible challenges in your life. If you interact with God by experiences you will have an up and down journey filled with anger and blame for His lack of support.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you!

The benchmark in your journey is making a decision to abandon yourself to Jesus without any exclusions and seek His will for your life. Until you reach this point you will vacillate between God and living for self.

The process of evolution into a new creature will be accelerated by coming into a personal and embracing relationship with the Living Christ. You will hear the voice of God and the Word will become alive and powerful in your life.

Walking with Jesus is experiencing many different seasons. The seasons are designed to teach you obedience, strengthen your faith when facing trials, and build fortitude (the courage of Jesus) when dealing with all kinds calamities.

The righteousness of Christ will come to you by demonstrating your faith in facing all the challenges of life. Your works or religious activities are of no value to building your faith. Without faith you cannot please God.

Jesus desires to have your unquestioning obedience and loyalty to Him. He wants to be the centerpiece of your life.

Build a strong bond with Jesus through prayer and intercession. This is life changing and touches the heart of God.
