TOPIC: Your True Nature
Text: 1 John 5: 1
WHOEVER BELIEVES THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST IS BORN OF GOD, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.
If you believe that Jesus is the Christ, you are born of God.
Remember that God is love.
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. GOD IS LOVE, and he who abides in love abides in God and God in him. (1 John 4: 16)
Since God is love, every believer is born of Love.
We are born of love and we are loved by nature because :
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (John 3: 6)
Similarly, that which is born of love is love.
In the new birth, we were recreated after God. We got our nature from God.
And that ye PUT ON THE NEW MAN, WHICH AFTER GOD IS CREATED in righteousness and true holiness. (Eph 4: 24)
The new man, the new creation was created after God.
Therefore as new creations, we have the same nature as God which is love.
If you are born again, your true nature is love. Your real identity is love.
As a child of God, when you walk in love, you are living your normal life and giving expressions to your real self.
Our natural lifestyle is love walk. When a believer fails to walk in love, he is pretending, he is living contrary to his nature.
We all know that living contrary to your nature is a life of great struggling. Thus a believer outside of love struggles in life.
A believer outside of love is like a fish out of water.
Always see yourself as a man of love because love is your real nature and walking in love is natural with you.
Shalom
Confession
_" I am a love child of a Love God. My Father is love and I am loved by nature. Therefore I walk in love, naturally. I do not struggle to love others because love is my real nature.
