“...IT IS TO THE PRAISE OF “HIS” GLORY
(WITNESS OF HIS PRESENCE YOU CAN SEE)
OF HIS GRACE, IN WHICH [GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT’... HAS MADE [YOU AND ME] ACCEPTED
“IN” THE BELOVED...” EPHESIANS 1:6 KJV).
“... A VOICE OUT OF THE HEAVENS SAID,
‘THIS IS MY BELOVED SON (THE WORD), IN WHOM I AM WELL-PLEASED...”
“…. IF ANY MAN (woman) BE “IN” CHRIST, he (she) is a NEW (ACCEPTABLE) creature..” (2
Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
*
“…. IF ANY MAN
(woman) BE “IN” CHRIST, he (she) is a NEW creature: (WHY? or HOW?) old things are passed away;
behold, ALL
things are become new” (2
Corinthians 5:17 KJV). “…Christ liveth in
[THEM]…” (Galatians 2:20 KJV). “….OLD THINGS (life without the indwelling Holy Spirit) are passed…”
(2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
“ …I will PUT my SPIRIT in you..’” (Ezekiel 37 NIV). “…Jesus Christ (God’s SON) is in you…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…He
that is joined ... [to] the Lord (Jesus) [becomes] ONE Spirit…
[with him and is NOW “ACCEPTED by God, the Holy Spirit]” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV). “…. Old things are passed away; behold, all things are
become new...” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
You are a totally new
creation. “… [BECAUSE]… if any man (woman) be in Christ, he (she) is a new creature: old
things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17
KJV). “…Jesus Christ maketh
thee whole [accepted by god, the holy spirit, again]…”
(Acts 9:34 KJV).
“…If any man (woman) be in Christ, he(she) is a NEW creature …” (2 Corinthians 5:17
KJV). “… [because] … all things are … [MADE] … NEW…”
(2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV). “…[God, the Holy
Spirit]... put a new spirit in you. …” (Ezekiel 36:26 NLT). “…God has given [you] HIS [holy] Spirit as PROOF that … he [dwells]…in [you
and you are NOW “ACCEPTED” through Jesus].” (1 John 4:13 NLT). “…God himself … makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together …[or make you acceptable
again through his Indwelling HOLY]… —spirit, [that
is NOW united with your]... soul, and body
…”
(1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 MSG). “...[God, the Holy Spirit]... has made ...[You and Me]... ACCEPTED “IN” the
beloved (Jesus)...” (Ephesians 1:6 KJV).
God has made all those
who are SAVED and have depended upon the GOOD NEWS of the GOSPEL (the Word, Jesus)
ACCEPTED.
God has MADE you into a NEW CREATION, through the indwelling Holy Spirit, which
EMPOWERS them to have faith (respond to, trust in, depend upon) his WORD
(promises, Jesus). “ ...[God, the Holy
Spirit]... has made ...[You and Me]... ACCEPTED “IN” the beloved (Jesus)...”
(Ephesians 1:6 KJV).
God empowers
believers by faith, through the
indwelling Holy Spirit, to trust in him and depend upon his Word PROVING that they have been accepted and
received as his “beloved” sons and daughters.
God empowers believers to depend upon
the indwelling Spirit of Faith
instead of your OWN human faith. “…The
righteous will live by “his” faith…”
(Habakkuk 2:4 NASB). “…Apart from [HIS indwelling Holy fruit of FAITH],
you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). “…Christ liveth in [you]: and the life which [you] now live in
the flesh [you] live by (via, through, by the use of, etc.) the faith “OF” the Son of God. …”
(Galatians 2:20 KJV). “…[ONE OF] ... the fruit of the Spirit is ... faith,…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).
It is the indwelling fruit of faith that empowers trust in or dependency upon
God, the Holy Spirit’s, Word
(promises). “…The
Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love….”
(Galatians 5 NLT).
The indwelling
fruit of faith is ACTIVATED to EMPOWER the believer WHEN it “HEARS” the
Word of God. “…[The indwelling fruit of] ...
FAITH cometh (is activated) by HEARING… the WORD of God…”
(Roman 10:17 KJV).
The WORD speaks and says, “.... [YOU]... are “ACCEPTED” in the beloved
(which is Jesus)... (Ephesians 1:6 KJV).
The SAVED are unequivocally ACCEPTED by
God, the Holy Spirit, by GRACE
through FAITH. “…BY
GRACE (unmerited favor) have ye been saved through… FAITH
(dependence upon his Word)…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “… AS MANY as received him, to them GAVE HE POWER TO
BECOME THE SONS OF GOD (TO BE ACCEPTED), even to them that believe on his name…” (John 1:12 KJV).
“…YE ARE “ALL” CHILDREN OF GOD BY FAITH “IN” (or dependence
upon) CHRIST JESUS …” (Galatians 3:26-28 KJV).
“…God SHOWS NO FAVORITISM. In every
nation HE
ACCEPTS those who fear him and do what is right. …” (Acts 10:34-36 NLT). “…God is no RESPECTER OF PERSONS: But in every nation he that feareth him,
and worketh righteousness, is ACCEPTED with him.…”
(Acts 10:34-36 KJV).
“... [Being ACCEPTED IS] ... NOT OF
YOURSELVES, it is the gift of God; NOT OF
WORKS, that no man should
glory…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).
“... [Being ACCEPTED IS] ...NOT OF
WORKS, that no man should
glory…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).
IT IS “...By the GRACE of God I AM WHAT I AM…” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV). I AM ACCEPTED BY
GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT.
“…The …HOLY
SPIRIT …is the SOURCE of [all your ACCEPTANCE]. …it is …God who does the work IN and THROUGH all of us who
are his. The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power (the indwelling power
that made YOU accepted) THROUGH each of us … (1 Corinthians
12:4-11 NLT).
“.... [YOU]... are “ACCEPTED”
in the beloved (which is Jesus)... (Ephesians 1:6
KJV).
“...By the GRACE of God I am what I am…” (1
Corinthians 15:10 NIV). I AM ACCEPTED BY
GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Once God, the Holy Spirit, accepts you as his son or daughter, he will NEVER
change his mind about you. “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…”
(Malachi 3:6 KJV). “Jesus Christ (THE WORD, the SPIRIT) is the same yesterday and today and forever”
(Hebrews 13:8 NIV).
God, the
Holy Spirit is your HEALER. His HOLY Words are the treatment necessary to
heal ALL emotional and psychological pain inflicted upon the SOUL through life
experiences, and human relationships. “… I
will restore you to health And I will heal you
of your wounds,’
declares the Lord…”
(Jeremiah 30:17 NASB). “... He healeth the BROKEN heart, and BINDETH upon their WOUNDS...” (Psalms 147:3
KJV). “… I, the Lord,
am
your healer…”
(Exodus 15:26). “… “I AM WHO I AM
…”
(Exodus 3:14-15 NASB).
Every emotional or
psychological wound that has caused you pain in the past and may still be
hurting you in the present or attempted to cause you pain in the future, God
has HEALED when he RESTORED your SOUL to wholeness. God is
a “…restorer
of thy life…”
(Ruth 4:15 KJV). “…He restoreth my SOUL…” (Psalm 23
KJV). “…The law of the LORD (the WORD of
God) is perfect (maturing power), restoring
the SOUL…” (Psalm 19 NASB). “….He (the WORD OF GOD) restoreth
my soul….” (PSALM 23:1-3 NLT). “…I (God, the holy spirit) will restore…”
(Jeremiah 30:17 KJV). God is a “…restorer of thy life…”
(Ruth 4:15 KJV).
How are you actually HEALED? When “…the
Holy Spirit gives birth to (or restores YOU
to) SPIRITUAL LIFE…”
(John 3:6 NLT). “….Jesus Christ (the WORD of GOD) maketh thee WHOLE
(RESTORES again)…” (Acts 9:34 KJV).
“…If
any man (woman) be in Christ, he (she) is a NEW (ACCEPTABLE) creature: old
things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS are become NEW…”
(2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV). “…God has given [YOU] HIS Spirit as
PROOF that … he [dwells]…in
[you and you are HEALED of past, present, or future emotional and psychological
wounds]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT “…God … SENT forth the Spirit of His Son “INTO”
[Y]OUR… HEARTS …” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…The Holy Spirit gives birth to [every] aspect of] SPIRITUAL
LIFE…” (John 3:6 NLT).
“…The Spirit of God dwell[s] in you…”
(Romans 8:9 KJV). “… I,
the Lord, am your healer…” (Exodus 15:26). “… “I
AM WHO I AM …”
(Exodus 3:14-15 NASB).
“…The invisible [Holy Spirit]…from the creation of the world is …clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are
made (making mankind whole again by making them into new creations and HEALING
every emotional and psychological would) …” (Romans 1:20 KJV). “…he (the invisible holy spirit) doeth the works)
(making “new” creations and completely healing them)…”
(John 14:10 KJV). “…What we now SEE (a
NEW creation; HOLY and HEALED) did not come from anything that can be SEEN (the
INDWELLING power of the Holy Spirit)…” (Hebrews 11 NLT).
“…The Spirit of God dwell[s] in you…”
(Romans 8:9 KJV). “… I,
the Lord, am your healer…” (Exodus 15:26). “… “I
AM WHO I AM …”
(Exodus 3:14-15 NASB).
Therefore you can say: I AM A NEW
CREATION. I AM MADE WHOLE AGAIN. I AM HEALED EMOTIONALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL BY
GOD, THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT. “...By
the GRACE of God I am what I am…” (1 Corinthians 15:10
NIV).
I AM GRACED WITH WHOLENESS. I AM GRACED
WITH WELL-BEING AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH. I AM GRACED WITH WELL-BEING AND
PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH. “...By the GRACE of
God I
am what I am…” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).
I AM GRACED WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS
“IN” CHRIST JESUS, BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED INTO GOD’S FAMILY. I AM NOT
GRACED BECAUSE I EARNED IT, OR DESERVED IT, OR HAVE BECOME WORTHY OF IT, BUT I
AM GRACED WITH HIS UNMERITED FAVOR BECAUSE GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS AN
IMMUTABLE LOVE FOR ME. “...By the GRACE
of God I
am what I am…” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).
Feeling REJECTED by or REJECTION from life
experiences and social relationships starts a negative conversation with SELF
that constantly communicates to the human heart that somehow you are defected,
or not GOOD enough for something or someone.
REJECTION bombards itself into your
thoughts with plans to stay there for the rest of your life. REJECTION infuses
into the psyche so thoroughly that self-perception is warped, imbalanced, and
wounded.
Some experiences of rejection are short-lived and temporary. It is normal to experience some level of emotional pain when someone you care about rejects, leaves, you or dies on you. However, while rejection may be a part of life, internalizing that rejection is what causes long-term problems.
Some experiences of rejection are short-lived and temporary. It is normal to experience some level of emotional pain when someone you care about rejects, leaves, you or dies on you. However, while rejection may be a part of life, internalizing that rejection is what causes long-term problems.
Internalizing rejection is when the
emotional pain turns into a conversation about your character which makes you
feel ashamed, sad, or negative about who you are as a person.
When a person internalizes rejection they
begin to blame themselves as the reason they were rejection; whether it is true
or not true.
Internalizing rejection is a LEARNED
behavior that starts early in the psyche through experiences of emotional
abuses such as neglect, withholding of love and affection, a young break-up,
dishonorable treatment, no respect for boundaries, and performance based
acceptances.
Internalized rejection will promote the
ideology that the person is not wanted as they are (not enough), or are not
valued as an unique individual, or are not accepted for who they truly are or
deeply desire to be.
Regardless of how internalized rejection
begins it often leads to long-term problems with social-acceptance and
self-acceptance. Further, all new experiences, with rejection, deepens the
already internalized psyche of rejection which further exasperates the negative
perception of SELF.
Long-term practices of internalizing
rejection result in blaming SELF for “ALL” experiences that promoted the
rejection, thinking SELF is “not” good enough, and believing SELF was deserving
of the rejection.
Long-term practice of internalizing
rejection, eventually, becomes a practice of REJECTING one self. The person
begins to believe the internal narrative that they are the blame for ALL the
rejection they experience, that they are really “NOT” good enough, and that
they DESERVE to be rejection no matter what.
The long-term practice of internalizing
rejection can become a habit and lifestyle that is HARD to break. “…The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to [the sinful nature]...”
(Romans 7:14-25 NLT).
Internalizing
rejection is a part of the OLD sinful nature and those kinds of thoughts about
SELF often dominate the thought life. “…I don’t really understand myself, for I want
to [accept SELF] …but I don’t [allow myself to depend upon the NEW CREATION
SELF]... Instead, I do what I hate. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is
[the sinful nature]… living in me that does it. And I know that
nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to [accept my NEW CREATION SELF)
… [which]… is right, BUT I CAN’T…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT).
No
matter how you try to cope with or deliver yourself from internalized rejection
it continuously haunts, follows, and hinders your life and experiences. “…I want
to [accept my NEW CREATION SELF) … [which]… is right, BUT I CAN’T…Who will free me from this life that is dominated by
[impurity and unholiness]?” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). “…The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). “..If the Son (the WORD) therefore shall make
you free, you SHALL be free indeed…”
(John 8:36 KJV). “….Apart
from [the indwelling spirit] ,.. [you] … can do nothing (YOU CAN’T accept the
new creation self)…” (John 15:5 NIV).
God’s people, who find themselves STILL listening to the
conversation or thoughts from
the old sinful nature, which replays past or present rejections that attempt to
TIE their identity to DEAD internalized rejection can CHOOSE to be FREE! “...Who will
free me from
this life that is dominated by [internalized rejections]?”
(Romans 7:14-25 NLT). “…The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). “….Apart from [the indwelling spirit] ,.. [you] … can
do nothing (YOU CAN’T be free from internalized rejections)…” (John 15:5 NIV). HOWEVER, “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…”
(Malachi 3:6 KJV). “Jesus Christ (THE WORD, the SPIRIT) is the same yesterday and today and forever”
(Hebrews 13:8 NIV).
It is impossible to be
free, from internalized rejections that have become infused in the human psyche,
without the help of the indwelling Holy Spirit.“…The things which are impossible with men … [are] …POSSIBLE…
[with God] …” (Luke 18:27 KJV).
“…I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?”
(Jeremiah 32:27 KJV). “…HE WHICH HATH
“BEGUN” A GOOD “WORK” IN [YOU]… “WILL” “PERFORM” IT “UNTIL”
the day of Jesus Christ…” (Philippians 1:6 KJV).
You can depend upon God, the indwelling Holy
Spirit, to FREE you and DELIVER you from internalized rejections. “…Your rock and Your
fortress, your deliverer, …" (Psalms 18:3 NASB). “… God … work[s] … in … [you] … what is pleasing to him, through
Jesus Christ…”
(Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…the
Father … he doeth
the works (he doeth the works of freeing you from “all”
internalized rejections)…” (John 14:10 KJV).THEREFORE, “..If the Son (the WORD)
therefore shall make you free, you SHALL
be free indeed…” (John 8:36 KJV).
He told the Israeli’s “…I am the Lord, I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians...” (Exodus 6:6-7 KJV). “…I will rid you out of their bondage...” (Exodus 6:6-7 KJV). “…I will redeem you with a stretched out hand...” (Exodus 6:5:6-7 KJV). “…The Spirit of God dwell[s] in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “… I, the Lord, am your healer…” (Exodus 15:26). “… “I AM WHO I AM …” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV). “Jesus Christ (THE WORD, the SPIRIT) is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8 NIV).
He told the Israeli’s “…I am the Lord, I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians...” (Exodus 6:6-7 KJV). “…I will rid you out of their bondage...” (Exodus 6:6-7 KJV). “…I will redeem you with a stretched out hand...” (Exodus 6:5:6-7 KJV). “…The Spirit of God dwell[s] in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “… I, the Lord, am your healer…” (Exodus 15:26). “… “I AM WHO I AM …” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV). “Jesus Christ (THE WORD, the SPIRIT) is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8 NIV).
“..If the Son (the WORD)
therefore shall make you free, you SHALL
be free indeed…” (John 8:36 KJV).
Even though Jesus has MADE you FREE from SIN, which includes
internalized rejections left over, in the MIND, God’s solution to REALIZING
your freedom, is to RENEW your mind or thought life with the Word of God. “…Be transformed by the renewing of your mind
(part of the SOUL)….” (Romans 12:2 KJV). “…The will of God, [is]…your SANCTIFICATION (ongoing cleansing,
FREEING from sin)…” (1
Thessalonians 4:3 NASB).“…[You]..can
do all things through Christ which strengtheneth [you]…”
(Philippians 4:13 KJV). “…Christ liveth in
[you]…” (Galatians 2:20 KJV).
It
is through dependency upon the indwelling holy spirit that sin (internalizing
rejection) loses “all” power! “…The power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin (internalized rejection). …” (Romans
8:1-14 NLT).
“…God declared an end to sin’s control (internalized rejection) over
us…” (Romans
8:1-14 NLT).
“..[YOU]... no longer follow [y]our sinful nature but instead follow the
Spirit. Those who are
dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things (internalized
rejections),..” (Romans 8:1-14 NLT).
“… Those who are
controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit(freedom
from internalized rejections). So letting your sinful nature control your mind (with internalized
rejections) leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind (with freedom) leads to
life and peace.” (Romans
8:1-14 NLT).
“…Who will free me from this life that is dominated by SIN (internalized rejections)? …” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT).
“… The answer is in Jesus Christ
our Lord…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). THUS, “… you are not controlled by your sinful nature (which attempts to
limit you to internalized rejections). You are controlled by the Spirit (which
freed you from all limitations) if you have the Spirit of God living in you …” (Romans
8:1-14 NLT).
You are FREE from all
internalized rejections. It is up to you, to choose, to allow your mind
(thoughts) to be RENEW in the Word of God. The EVIL one will attempt to keep
you BLIND to the truth, but it is the TRUTH that will FREE your thoughts in
regard to internalized rejections. “…The god of this age (the EVIL ONE) has blinded [the minds (the thoughts that reside in one’s heart), [of
all those] who do not believe (depend upon God), lest the light of the gospel
of the glory of Christ (the WORD; the TRUTH), who is the image of God, should
shine on them…” (2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT).
“… He (the EVIL one) … does not stand in the
truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from
his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of
it…” (John 8:44 NLT).
“Jesus
saith…I am the
way, the truth, and
the life…”
(John 14:6 KJV). “... [Through Jesus, the Word] ... you will know the truth,
and the truth will make you free...” (John 8:31-32 NASB). “…Be transformed by the renewing of your mind
(of your thoughts)….” (Romans 12:2 KJV).
Individuals who have been beat down, beat
up, and harassed by internalized rejection for years and years have a HARD time
with experiencing and realizing their NEW freedoms IN Christ Jesus, especially
without RENEWING the mind WITH the TRUTH!
The EVIL one continues to take advantage
of those who have NOT renewed their minds, by continually inflicting pain
through painful experiences and fortifying control over them through
internalized. rejections or making them believe they are NOT new creations!“…If any man (woman) be in
Christ, he (she)
is a NEW (ACCEPTABLE) creature: old things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS are
become NEW…” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV). “…God has given [YOU] HIS Spirit as
PROOF that … he [dwells]…in
[you and you are HEALED of past, present, or future emotional and psychological
wounds]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT “…God … SENT forth the Spirit of His Son “INTO”
[Y]OUR… HEARTS …” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…The Holy Spirit gives birth to [every] aspect of] SPIRITUAL
LIFE…” (John 3:6 NLT).
Remember, the thoughts inform behavior.
Believers who are STILL heavily affected by internalized rejection and have NOT
renewed their MINDS, in that area, are more likely to react to REJECTION as
those who are NOT FREED from sin.
Believers who are STILL heavily
affected by internalized rejection and have NOT renewed their MINDS, in that
area, are more likely to BEHAVE as those who are NOT “...accepted in the beloved...” (Ephesians 1:6).
This behavior will make them continue
to experience rejections that lead them deeper and deeper into encounters that
reinforce their internalized thoughts about rejection in regard to SELF. “…The god of this
age (the EVIL ONE) has blinded [the minds
(the thoughts that reside in one’s heart), [of all those] who do not believe
(depend upon God)…” (2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT).
Depending upon the indwelling Holy Spirit becomes a STRONG support system for
OVERCOMING and realizing one’s FREEDOM from internalized rejection.“…
It is God who
worketh in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure…” (Philippians 2:13 KJV). “…I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me…” (Philippians
4:13 KJV). “….Apart
from [the HOLY SPIRIT], you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV).
Depending upon the indwelling
Holy Spirit to DELIVER you from internalized rejections will EMPOWER you to
MOVE past the PAIN.
The indwelling Holy Spirit, EMPOWERS the believer to MOVE past the
PAIN, through the WORD of GOD, which tells them they are NEW CREATIONS” and
“OLD THINGS (rejections)” are gone forever and “ALL THINGS(being accepted by
God” is their new TRUTH.“…
if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature:
old things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS are become new” (2
Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
The PAST reasons, experiences, and conditions
of REJECTIONS are GONE, forever!! The believer can FREELY CHOOSE to depend upon
God’s TRUTH “alone” that they are NOW and FOREVER “...accepted in the beloved...” because the past is OVER and the LIFE
is NOW brand NEW (Ephesians 1:6 KJV). “… if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS are become new” (2
Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
Depending upon the indwelling Holy Spirit to strengthen
one’s dependency upon God’s TRUTH - that they are accepted and no longer
rejected - is DEVELOPED and STRENGTHENED by constantly reading and studying
God’s WORD.
Instead of continuing
to listen to the thoughts from the OLD sinful nature that promotes internalized
rejections, the believer begins to listen to the WORD OF GOD that promotes
their FREEDOM, as a NEW CREATION in CHRIST.
Listening to the
thoughts from the OLD sinful nature leads to self-doubt, unworthiness, feeling
not good enough, self-blame, mistreatment that one can believe they deserve and
a host of other negative, oppressive, and destruction internalized thoughts.
These, internalized
thoughts can also PREVENT, the believer from receiving the heavenly blessings
and riches of God’s glory because the thoughts, from the OLD sinful nature,
continues to inform them they will never earn, deserve, and be worthy of God’s
PROMISES.
While it is TRUE, the
believer can and will NEVER earn, deserve, or become WORTHY of God’s blessings
and riches, nonetheless, because of the FINISHED work of Christ upon the cross,
these blessings and riches BELONG to them ANYWAY!
They are GRACED with
his blessing and riches. His blesses and riches, DO NOT, depend upon the
believer earning, deserving, or becoming worthy of his blessings and riches.
When they become NEW
CREATIONS, they are ACCEPTED “IN” the beloved, which is JESUS. Because they are
ACCEPTED in the beloved they are GRACED (given unmerited favor) with his
blessings and riches.
So the blessings and
riches are NOT dependent upon the worthiness of the believer, but it is
dependent upon being ACCEPTED in the beloved (Jesus). EVERY SAVED believer has
been ACCEPTED in the beloved! “...IT IS TO THE PRAISE OF “HIS” GLORY
(WITNESS OF HIS PRESENCE YOU CAN SEE)
OF HIS GRACE, IN WHICH [GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT’... HAS MADE [YOU AND ME] ACCEPTED “IN” THE BELOVED...” EPHESIANS 1:6 KJV). “...
A VOICE OUT OF THE HEAVENS SAID, ‘THIS IS MY BELOVED
SON (JESUS, THE WORD), IN WHOM I AM WELL-PLEASED...” “…. IF
ANY MAN (woman) BE “IN” CHRIST, he (she) is a NEW (ACCEPTABLE) creature...”
(2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
NO MATTER WHAT
HAPPENED, NO MATTER HOW YOU WERE TREATED, NO MATTER WHAT HAS BEEN SAID OR DONE; YOU
ARE NOT REJECTED ANY MORE!!
YOU ARE “...ACCEPTED “IN” THE
BELOVED...” EPHESIANS 1:6 KJV).
