Jesus: The Outward Expression Of The Father

-
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of
every creature (Colossians 1:15).
The Lord Jesus is the visible, physical representation
of God, the very image of God. He said in John
14:9, “…he that hath seen me hath seen the Father….” God is
invisible; you can’t see Him with your optical eyes; so Jesus
came as the outward expression of the invisible God.
Colossians 2:9 says, “For in him (Jesus Christ) dwelleth all the
fulness of the Godhead bodily.”
Jesus represented God to the whole world when He
walked the earth. Whatever men required from God was
embodied in Jesus. When you saw Jesus, you saw God.
Colossians 1:16-17 tells us that “…by him were all things
created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible
and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or
principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and
for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things
consist.” Jesus holds all things together by the Word of His
power.
God appointed Jesus to be the heir of all things,
including His throne. In heaven, there’s a great white throne,
and Jesus is the one sitting on that throne. Where then is the
Father? He’s in Jesus! The Bible says it pleased the Father, that
in Him (Jesus) should all fullness dwell (Colossians 1:19).
It gives us an understanding of what Jesus said in John
10:30; He said, “I and my Father are one.” When He said
this, the Jews wanted to stone Him to death, because they
said He made Himself equal with God: “The Jews answered
Jesus: The Outward Expression
Of The Father
him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for
blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest
thyself God” (John 10:33).
They understood exactly what Jesus meant when He
said, “I and my Father are one,” but they considered His
words blasphemous because they didn’t know Him. Jesus is
one with the Father; He’s the complete embodiment of Deity.
He’s the expression of God’s glory, crowned with all honour
and majesty. When you see Jesus, you won’t need to look for
the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the perfect image and
embodiment of the Godhead.
CONFESSION
I ‘m the embodiment of Christ,
the effulgence of His glory and
the express image of His person,
because as Jesus is, so am I; I’m
one with Him! In Him I live, and
move and have my being. I
manifest His righteousness,
virtues, and perfections.
Hallelujah!

What does the Bible say about setting goals?

-

The Bible offers a balanced approach to setting goals that includes making plans yet doing so with wisdom and humility. Jesus’ illustration of building a tower implies that it is a good thing to have set goals ( Luke 14:28 ). To live with no motivation or planning is not God’s desire.  Proverbs 6:6-11  says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard;     consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief,     officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer     and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard?     When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber,     a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber,     and want like an armed man.” Laziness causes a person to neglect work and fail to exploit the window of opportunity. Summer is the preparation time for winter, and we dare not wile it away. Failure to plan ahead will result in “poverty” and “want.” Wisely setting goals leads to better results: “Th

How do I know if I am a Christian?

Jesus taught that the condition of a person’s heart will manifest itself in his or her behavior: “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart” ( Luke 6:43–45 ; cf.  Matthew 7:16 ). So, when considering whether or not you are a Christian, you can consider the kind of fruit that is produced in the life of a Christian: 1.  Complete trust in Christ’s death and resurrection as sufficient payment for the debt we owe God.  A Christian is one who  trusts Christ  exclusively. Doubts come when we fear we must add something to the work of Christ to ensure our salvation.  Ephesians 2:8–9  makes it clear that we are not saved by our works, but by God’s grace alone. No matter how righteous we may appear, none of us come close to e
