3.3 Book Discussion Two

[Lorna Anne]

Consider again the promise of being seated with Christ. There is no social proximity, no pomp or protocol, that separates children of God from nearness to the throne. How can this understanding of our standing with Jesus impact how we live and what it means to be truly human? Share your thoughts.

I am my dad, beloved and I know and and see. I can ask him anything and tell him anything and if I am in need, I know where to go.

As we apply in our. Christian life,our relationship with our Heavenly Father, we need to know who we are in Christ. The more you spend time with the word and prayer, the closer you are with him. Paul follow Jesus with a distance so there is a time that he betray time. And if we follow him in a distance, the come lots of distractions in life.

We need to walk closer with Jesus closer daily by spending time with him .

[Abayomi]

The promise of being seated with Christ is sweet melody to my ears. Because, there’s no social proximity, no pomp, or protocol, that separates children of God from nearness to the throne.

God loves us equally and unconditionally, He has given me the privilege to be united with Him.

Lastly, Jesus has given me an inheritance to be truly human and victorious.

Thank you Lord.

Just thinking of it, it gives me confidence in Christ; Knowing that He has promised us that relationship with those who believe and follow Him. It is so reassuring to know that nothing can take that away from us, only if we walk away from it. God is so good to us and He loves us so much that He closed that huge gap between us. He broke every chain that was dragging me into hell and set me free but not only that, but He promised me that I would be seated with Him in heaven, now that is beautiful. That is for sure more than I deserve. Living every day with this knowledge gives me excitement for Christ (I am not perfect so sometimes I fall and sometimes I don’t appreciate this as much as I should) But I feel I have a spark in me that not everyone likes and I hear about it and it encourages me to keep going, dig deeper, learn more, and love always.

@RLumasag I love how you have reflected on this in light of your life with 8 siblings. Your comment about being the youngest in God’s family, while still being equally loved is such a wonderful thought. Romans 8:29 tells us that Jesus is the “Firstborn of many brothers and sisters.” In this regard, I think it is right to say that every Christian is like a second-born brother or sister to Jesus. In other words, we are all equal under Christ. There is no favouritism…one famous expression that captures this really well is: “The ground is equal at the foot of the cross.”
