1 John 4: 16; John 14: 20-21; Matthew 1: 23

We have been crucified with Christ, Christ lives in me, live by faith, Son of God loves me, and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2: 20

        Today we shall study a new topic: Live in Jesus Christ. I love this one, put out your Bible and study with me.

Introduction

        God has put my life into His plan, which is for me. He loves me more than I've done for Him. All ministries which I've worked on, it is not an important what I've been doing. I believe that our relationships have been building up daily. There are love and trust between God and us. Then we live in Christ, and live by faith, live is meant walk, when we walk or live in God, we are able to bear much fruit, because we learn to obey God with all our trust in our hearts. So I want to talk about principle to live in Christ.

(a)  Christ lives in me by faith. (Galatians 2: 20)

       "We have been crucified with Christ, Christ lives in me, live by faith, Son of God loves me, and gave himself for me."

         We've died with Christ, lived in Christ, and lived by faith. It is also meant we walk by faith. And Faith shall be grown bigger and bigger every day. God is love to live in us, even He gave himself for me and for His crucifixion, then we live or walk with him by our faith.

(b)  Bear much fruit. (John 15: 7-8)

       "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."

         You remain (or live, or abide, or dwell) in me and my words remain in you, so that you will have two results: 1.  Bear much fruit. 2.  Ask will receive - answer prayer.

         In Galatians 5: 22-23 said, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Fruit of Spirit is one fruit with 9 characters.

(c)  God is in us and with us. (1 John 4: 16)

       "God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him." God is with us as His name, Immanuel which means, "God with us." (Matthew 1: 23)

(d)  Obey God's commands. (John 14: 20-21)

        "On that day you will realize that I am in my father, and you (people) are in me (Jesus), and I (Jesus) in you (people). Whoever has my commands, obeys them, he is the one who loves me He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."

        We love God, we shall obey his commands and his words, which show our loves toward God by obedience. Thank God who gives his words to live on and so we live in Jesus Christ by obedience.

        Tomorrow we will continue this topic. See you and I will be here to wait for you.

Show we are Jesus' disciple by walk by faith, live in Him and obey his words!
