THE MAKING OF A NEW MAN

    

“And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make the wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished unto all good works” 2Timothy 3:15-17

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: The raw material required to make a new man is the Holy Scriptures.

Scriptures are sacred writings that reveals the thought of God to man. The thought of God which is Christ is revealed as the content of a new man. In the making of a new man, the only raw material required is the Holy Scriptures. The only content of the Holy Scriptures is Christ. It is Christ as the content of the raw material (Holy Scriptures) that now makes a new man wise unto salvation. This wisdom is Christ replicating Himself in a new man via the person’s belief. When the belief is established via wisdom, the new man will then begin to profit. As a new man, you will no longer be the one to lead yourself, rather your new content which is Christ will begin to teach the truth, rebuke you when you err, corrects your faults and gives you instructions for right living so that you will be fully equipped and qualified as a son to do all kinds of good works.

The scripture is what forms our belief system. Scripture is the foundation of our spiritual maturity (Romans 1:1-3). Scripture is not given to be memorized but to be understood (Luke 24:25-27; 45). You are not powerful until you come into the knowledge of Christ. The need of a believer is the need of knowledge. Quoting scriptures does not guarantee success but understanding the scriptures does. Scriptures are not meant for stories and they do not give life but they teach everything about life (John 5:39). The Bible is the manual that explains Jesus. Scripture is Christ centered. We are to know the scriptures otherwise salvation will not benefit us. It is what you know that distinguishes you from the crowd. Until you know who you are in Christ via the scriptures, you will not be able to exercise the authority and dominion that has been given to you. It is the knowledge that you have about Christ via the scriptures that makes you live a life of dominion here on earth because everyman is an evidence of his content, and what you are made of, is what you manifest.

INSTRUCTION: Manifest your content.

PRAYER:  Lord, let the content and made of in Christ begin to manifest, in Jesus name!

QUOTE: Every man is an evidence of his content; what you are made of is what you manifest
