We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Tragically, though, many have become so enamored by their intimacy with God that they interpret their subjective states of mind and emotion as infallible indicators of truth. Worse still, some have concluded that because of the depths of intimacy they experience with God that objective revelation is no longer essential; it can be discarded in favor of immediacy of communion and communication with God.

Are you finding your core identity in Christ? 1. Am I a Christian redeemed by Jesus Christ who is my Lord and Savior? 2. Am I finding my worth in external circumstances or God’s truth? 3. Have I given control of my life to God or someone else I am trying to impress? 4. Do I allow the words of others to sink deeper into my heart more than the words of God? 5. Is my identity rooted in the worship of idols or is it rooted in the worship of Christ? We become what we worship. In whose image am I growing more? 6. Is God’s opinion the highest standard and the only verdict that ultimately matters to me? 7. Is my self-image shaped by the media, experiences, feelings, relationships or culture? Or do I understand who I really am in Christ based on God’s promises from His Word? 8. Is it my desire to tell others about Christ increasingly because the more I understand who I am in Christ, the more delight I have to make known who He is through my words and actions? 9. Have I discovered God’s identity for me? Is it now a committed choice? 10. Am I continually examining where I am defining my true identity? If it is not in Scripture am I repenting? “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect” (Rom. 12:2).

    1THESS 1:1 [] Παυλος και Σιλουανος και Τιμοθεος προς την εκκλησιαν των Θεσσαλονικεων εν Θεω, τω Πατρι και Κυριω Ιησου Χριστω· χαρις ειη υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.

    1THESS 1:2 [] Ευχαριστουμεν παντοτε τον Θεον περι παντων υμων και σας μνημονευομεν εν ταις προσευχαις ημων,

    1THESS 1:3 αδιαλειπτως ενθυμουμενοι το εις την πιστιν εργον σας και τον κοπον της αγαπης και την υπομονην της ελπιδος του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου εμπροσθεν του Θεου και Πατρος ημων,

    1THESS 1:4 εξευροντες, αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο Θεου, την εκλογην σας,

    1THESS 1:5 διοτι το ευαγγελιον ημων δεν εγεινεν εις εσας εν λογω μονον, αλλα και εν δυναμει και εν Πνευματι Αγιω και εν πληροφορια πολλη, καθως εξευρετε οποιοι υπηρξαμεν μεταξυ σας δια σας.

    1THESS 1:6 [] Και σεις εγεινετε μιμηται ημων και του Κυριου, δεχθεντες τον λογον εν μεσω πολλης θλιψεως μετα χαρας Πνευματος Αγιου,

    1THESS 1:7 ωστε εγεινετε τυποι εις παντας τους πιστευοντας εν τη Μακεδονια και τη Αχαια.

    1THESS 1:8 Διοτι απο σας εξηχησεν ο λογος του Κυριου ουχι μονον εν τη Μακεδονια και Αχαια, αλλα και εν παντι τοπω εφθασεν η φημη της προς τον Θεον πιστεως σας, ωστε ημεις δεν εχομεν χρειαν να λαλωμεν τι.

    1THESS 1:9 Διοτι αυτοι διηγουνται περι ημων οποιαν εισοδον ελαβομεν προς εσας, και πως επεστρεψατε προς τον Θεον απο των ειδωλων, δια να δουλευητε Θεον ζωντα και αληθινον,

    1THESS 1:10 και να προσμενητε τον Υιον αυτου εκ των ουρανων, τον οποιον ανεστησεν εκ νεκρων, τον Ιησουν, οστις ελευθερονει ημας απο της μελλουσης οργης.
