“In Christ” “In Christ” – Knowing God’s will

2Corinthians 5:17 (GWT) Whoever is a believer in Christ is a new creation. The old way of living has disappeared. A new way of living has come into existence.

“In Christ” Past | Present | Future  The past will only prevent us from achieving our destiny to the extent we let it  “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18 )

“In Christ” Comparisons  I’m not good enough  I can’t  Fear of failure Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 (NIVUK)

“In Christ” A GOAL not a MAP God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in him. Romans 8:29 (Message)

“In Christ” Lifelong learning Questions to ask Does the Bible specifically command or urge me to do something? Does the Bible explicitly forbid me or warn me not to do something? Is this going to help or hinder my spiritual progress? Will this help improve someone else’s life or be a stumbling-block to them?

“In Christ” 1Thessalonians 5:11-24 (TNIV) 1. Encourage one another 2. Build up (strengthen) each other 3. Acknowledge (respect) your spiritual leaders 4. Appreciate and think highly of them 5. Love them 6. Live in peace with each other 7. Warn those who are idle and disruptive 8. Encourage the disheartened 9. Help the weak 10. Be patient with everyone 11. Make sure nobody pays back wrong for wrong 12. Always strive to do good (be kind) to each other and to everyone else 13. Be joyful always 14. Pray continually 15. Give thanks in all circumstances 16. Do not put out the Spirit's fire 17. Do not treat prophecies with contempt 18. Test everything 19. Hold on to the good 20. Reject (avoid) every kind of evil

“In Christ” Be thankful Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Romans 12:18 (NIVUK)

“In Christ” Keys  Submission & Willingness And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with God's will. 2 Corinthians 8:5 (NIVUK)

“In Christ” Keys  Submission & Willingness  Obedience As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart. Ephesians 6:6b (NLT)

“In Christ” Keys  Submission & Willingness  Obedience For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of the foolish 1Peter 2:15 (TNIV)

“In Christ” Keys  Submission & Willingness  Obedience Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground Psalm 143:10 (NIVUK)

“In Christ” Keys  Submission & Willingness  Obedience  Holiness For this is the will of God, that you should be consecrated (separated and set apart for pure and holy living) 1Thessalonians 4:3a (Amplified)

“In Christ” Keys  Submission & Willingness  Obedience  Holiness  Relationship The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them Psalm 25:14 (NIVUK)

“In Christ” Keys  Submission & Willingness  Obedience  Holiness  Relationship The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him 2Chronicles 16:9 (NLT)

“In Christ” Moving Onwards God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him. When I cleaned up my act, he gave me a fresh start. Indeed, I've kept alert to God's ways; I haven't taken God for granted. Every day I review the ways he works, I try not to miss a trick. I feel put back together, and I'm watching my step. God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes. 2Samuel 22:25 (Message)

“In Christ” Moving Onwards In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. Romans 8:26-28 (TNIV)
