Forty Days Full - An Invitation To Real Life

3. I am a Saint ...To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: (Ephesians 1:1b NKJV) Followers of Jesus are called 'saints' over 60 times in the NT, while they are called Christian only 3 times. The word 'saint' means 'holy!' We have been made holy in Christ. 4. I am Seated in Heaven with Christ And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, Ephesians 2:6 NIV Our position in the throne room of heaven is not as a beggar. In Christ we have a legal right to bring the resources of heaven into out earthly experience. 5. God Finishes what He Starts being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Phil 1:6 NIV God is relentless in His pursuit for our good and our transformation. Our transformation occurs as we surrender our lives to the Holy Spirit, but He does the more difficult part. 6. We are the Temple of the Holy Spirit Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? 17 ...and you together are that temple. 1 Cor. 3:16-17b NIV We are being built together into a spiritual house. No building can compare to the beauty of God's people coming together in unity and love.
