MANIFEST HIS LOVE

The words by the Apostle John in the anchor verse, is an absolutely outstanding statement. It means anyone on this planet can live in and become a CHANNEL of THE BLESSING, if you are willing to manifest of His love. Not just enjoying the blessings, but living in the reality of THE BLESSING (God’s original plan for humanity).

Living through Jesus means much more than receiving eternal life through Him. You might think that’s all 1 John 4:9 means, Yes, through Jesus we became born again and received eternal life. That is what it means to live through Him. But there is so much more to it! Think about what it means to live through someone else.

Imagine a child born to parents who absolutely do not want him or love him/her, that child has no life — no heritage, nurture or connection with his natural parents. No parents. No family. No one to love, comfort, teach and help him through life challenges. Then a loving, Christian couple finds out about this little fellow and adopts him.. The moment those covenant adoption papers are signed, for all practical and legal purposes, that baby has been “reborn.” He has a new name, and with it an inheritance and a future. Now he is living his life “through” his new parents, their heritage and provision. Through them, he is given every opportunity to live and dream again.

As born-again believers, we are called by the Name of Jesus — the new name Hebrews 1:4 says “he hath by inheritance obtained” — a name that is “a more excellent name than [the angels].”

We live through the authority and benefits of the Name of Jesus. (Hebrews 1:2; Romans 8:16-17). That is blessing beyond measure!

Confession:

I’m born of God, and Christ lives in me by the Holy Spirit. The life of God and His righteousness have been imparted to my spirit; I have God’s nature of righteousness and His life flows through my being. I’m a witness for Christ, producing fruits of righteousness, and revealing His glory to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
