00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth Brothers and sisters the power of Christ Daily 25 August 2015 Christ in you from death unto life from death unto life or a title how do we know? Are we from death unto life? Have we
transformed? Yang Christ is in me yes When I accepted Christ and believed in my heart Believe in my heart means I cleave to I trust in Christ My trust in Christ so I’m supposed to have transferred from death unto
Life Now John 13:34 A new commandment I give you that you love one another as I have loved you that you also love one another. This is regarding brethren he’s telling his disciples he tells the disciples Jesus is
telling disciples love one another as I have loved you as I have loved you. How do you love the others? Love your neighbor as yourself but we must love those who are disciples of Christ are followers of Christ God
has given us a new commandment. Jesus says that I give you a new commandment A new commandment to love one another as I have loved you that you also love one another.

01:22 There’s a commandment, a new commandment and commandments as we know the description in the Hebrew text, the whole description in the language, how it means one of the shades of meaning is prescription, a cure, a
remedy. So good prescription for me is I must love a follower of Christ, a disciple of Christ as Jesus Christ has loved me. How did he love me? He gave his life for me.

01:50 In fact, he gave everything up for me. He gave his riches in heaven he gave up heaven for me and came down and died on the cross he gave himself up for me. He gave his own body for me.

01:53 He gave his blood for me. He gave his daily walk here, all that activity, all the sacrifice, all or suffered for me. So I must be prepared to do the same for followers of Jesus Christ.

02:20 There’s a command. It’s not. I’m.

02:22 I’m not trying to create a new theology here. It’s a simple command, a new command I give to you Love one another as I have loved you. Now, one of the things that happened when I came to the Lord, the.

02:34 The term everybody uses, born again. Yeah, that’s the term used in the Bible but it’s been loosely used so. But when Raja, when I started being follower of Christ, when I came to Christ, Christ it is Christ.

02:48 It drew me. I couldn’t have gone. It drew me so immediately there was love in my heart for the others.

02:56 When I went to the church, looking at people, some suffering, I felt sorry, some okay. My brother Sisters, I didn’t know this scripture, but it was there. Why? It’s the spirit of God who puts Christ in me.

03:12 Makes me feel that isn’t it? If you go back, every one of you listening here, go back to the day you actually were saved, where you actually dedicated your life and say, lord, I need you. I cannot live my life. I
cannot be self confident, self dependent.

03:28 I want to be God dependent. I want to be dependent on you because I cannot survive this world. And then I need you.

03:35 And I receive you as my Lord and Saviour. And I recognize that you suffered on the cross and took my sins and died and rose again. All that put together.

03:43 You believe that in your heart you go back to that day and see, was there no love when you came out? There was love because Jesus had entered you. Now if you didn’t feel that, that means there was no belief in your
heart at that time. That is why God says what A person who is in Christ will not continue to practice sin.

04:08 Why? The power of Christ is in you to stop sin and the power of Christ in you. Yes, you may fall into sin, but there will be conviction by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is in you in the Spirit part.

04:22 And immediately you will know something is wrong and then you won’t be able to rest. There will be a distress. All of you, those of you know this, will know this, what I’m talking about.

04:31 Those who don’t feel this, then you have to become concerned. If you practice things on and on, in every possibility is this that your heart has not believed that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Saviour. You have to
now become concerned brothers and sisters, get to a pastor, get to a brother, get to a servant, get to a sister, get to a brother, whoever and start talking, talking, talking to them.

04:56 This is what I need, this is what I believe, this is what I feel. Somebody must guide you or get to the graceoflife.com some servant there will deal with this. Because no point sitting like this, no point living a
life in this defeated way.

05:11 No need. Now the question today then also I see after a while there are people in these congregations who are angry, who hate others, who are backbiting, who are gossiping, doing all that other thing going on. And
they say, hey, praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

05:29 People are doing this and they’re supposed to be Christians. At the time I didn’t understand about those who not believe in their heart they’ll continue sinning. I didn’t know all that, but I knew something is
wrong.

05:43 So I stayed away from some of these people because what I just want to. I want the peace of God that time. I just want the peace of God.

05:51 I just. I am just holding on to Christ. I treasured because I came from such a sinful background and completely finished.

05:58 And he gave me life. And I could breathe again, physically breathe again. And at the same time I can see life with love.

06:06 I feel joy, I feel rest, I feel peace. I don’t want to lose that. So I quietly stay away because when I stay with them I start feeling agitation in the spirit.

06:18 I feel disturbance. Now one of the things we must remember is this. Each of us supposed to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.

06:31 What is he working out? Beholding in the Word of God. That is the exercise, remember the word exercise. Exercising our faith, exercising in the Word, beholding in the Word of God and will be transformed.

06:45 Like in a mirror. When you’re looking at it. When you’re looking at it and what happens? You’re looking at it this time you’re looking at the mirror.

06:52 The mirror is showing us the Word of God. He’s showing us the Word of God and showing me the Word of God. I’m looking at the Word of God in the mirror.

06:57 I’m looking at the Word of God in the mirror. And I keep looking at the Word of God in the mirror again and again and again. First I’ll see me, but I keep thinking of the Word of God.

07:07 I remember the Word of God and then God says he will transform me and my character will become according to the Word of God. And then we become like Christ. Our aim should become like Christ.

07:21 That’s the thing we all because firstborn among many is Jesus Christ is not ashamed to call me brother now. But how do we know? How do you want to know? How do we know what the Bible says? How do I know actually I
passed from death unto life. It’s a big question if how do I know? Actually my heart believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Saviour, my Savior and Lord of Master.

07:48 And that I have passed from death unto life. How do I know this? It’s an important question, isn’t it? Now if you can know this, there’ll be settlement in you. If you cannot know this, that forever you are thinking
I’m a Christian.

08:02 But anytime will I go to heaven? The question will you go to heaven? These people are going to ask those days right now, will you go to heaven? I am also in a dilemma. I do not know the Bible the time So I am
thinking, I feel, yeah, I feel God is here. I feel Jesus.

08:21 I feel rest, I feel good, I feel peace, I feel joy and all. But I couldn’t say for a certainty that yes, I will enter heaven. I couldn’t say it because I didn’t know what is the parameter, what is the condition,
what are the rules and regulations to enter this heaven now and then in the midst of all this, because we are still facing, I’m still facing the day to day living issues and all that.

08:45 But God kept me through and my family was put to being put together, on and on. And I was being transformed. My words, my words were changing.

08:55 The way I was speaking was changing. The way I’m thinking was changing. That is why God says what? Be renewed in the spirit of your mind.

09:01 In the spirit of your mind. That was changing. Who was changing it? Jesus Christ was changing it.

09:05 But what was happening? He has made me go and listen to the New Testament, downloaded what the cassettes and kept listening on and on and on and on. He’s just playing and that word was transforming me. It’s going on
and on.

09:22 And I started playing in my house, got my wife to listen and then we prayed for our children while they’re sleeping and all that going on. So but with affirmative, can I say, yes, I will enter heaven because Jesus
said so. Can you say that today? Have you transformed from death unto life? Have you? How do you know for sure? Now this is the mark that Jesus has said in 1 John 3:14.

09:52 1 John 3:14. It says this. We know the disciples are saying, the apostles are saying, we know that we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren.

10:12 We know they know that we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren. A brethren is what those who want to follow Jesus Christ are brethren. They are not perfected.

10:28 They may fall into sin here and there, but they are not practicing sin. They are not being, you know, violent and drunk and all this going on and on and on and on as I was doing. I was doing so I am not condemning
anybody here.

10:44 I was drunk on and on and on. Violent on and on and on. Foul mouthed, on and on and on.

10:50 Put a, they say, put a sailor to shame. Those who are still doing that. I mean, they’re practicing things on and on and on.

11:00 Obviously they have not believed Jesus Christ in their heart. So they have to settle that. That’s what the word of God says.

11:08 But here the condition is because we love the brethren. We love those who are Wanting to follow Jesus. Yes.

11:17 When they fall, when they did something wrong, doesn’t mean they are practicing the wrong. We still love them. How do we love them? As Jesus Christ loved me.

11:28 How did Jesus Christ love me? He gave everything up for me. I must be prepared to go all the way to help this brother. I must be prepared to go all the way to help this brother and sister.

11:41 All the way. Because Jesus Christ went all the way. And more and more I must be prepared.

11:51 I must be willing. I must be willing to go all the way to help a brother and sister. What I have, I must share.

12:02 What I know, I must teach. What I know, I must guide. Even when they get angry, I must tell, this is the word of God.

12:09 Because I. Because my. The one, the King of Kings, the husband of my soul, calls me brother. So you are my brother, brother.

12:19 He calls me brother. So I go to tell you what he tells me to tell you what he shows in the word, written word. It is not a figment of my imagination.

12:27 It’s not. Suddenly I wake up one morning and say, brother, God gave me a revelation to do this. I’m not talking like this.

12:33 A lot of revelations are false. So those who say, today God told me to say this. God told me to do this.

12:40 Then you see their life in a total mess. You know it is not God who is speaking to them. Sometimes they get up and God told me to do this.

12:45 God told me to get and do this business. And then you know, their life is in such a mess. And then you know it is not from God.

12:54 But they won’t listen. I being there telling people, they won’t listen what to do. We are not policemen and prison wardens and dictators and kings.

13:04 No, no, we are just merely servants. Servants of the Most High. God will tell you and the Holy Spirit will guide them.

13:12 Now this is the command. This, the. This the measurement.

13:14 This the measurement. This is the. The sign that you know you pass from death unto life because you love the brethren as he has loved us.

13:25 Love one another as I have loved you, isn’t it? Love one another as I have loved you. And the sign that you love one another is you’re willing to go all the way to help a brother and sister. But they must be
brothers and sisters.

13:37 They may be false Christians. The Bible talks about false Christians. False Christians.

13:42 You stay away. Don’t get caught in the trap. You know, they pretend to be Christians and then they expect you to love them as Jesus Christ has loved you.

13:51 Oh, you are a brother. You never do this, no. But they are false Christians also.

13:55 So you must be discerning. You’re not sure. That’s why Jesus sent disciples.

13:59 Two by two, get counsel two by two. Don’t alone trying to make the decisions. That’s when people ask you to do this and do that.

14:07 Be wise as serpent, gentle as doves. There are so many protection there. Get to a servant of God, get to a pastor, get to a sister, get to a brother and say, this is what happened.

14:18 The other person will say, no, don’t tell anybody, brother, I need these now. But don’t tell anybody that is not a Christian. Because whatever is hidden will be brought to life.

14:28 Light hidden will be brought to light. It will be brought to light. It will come to know.

14:33 So anybody tells you, I need this, brother. But don’t tell anybody that trying to operate in darkness. If they are sincere, if they are humble, that they need help, they must humbly tell, I need help.

14:45 And they must be able to you to be checking this with other brothers or other pastors or servants or whoever. If they don’t. No, no.

14:56 Silence. Keep yourself, keep yourself quietly and do this for me. They’re not.

15:00 Hey, watch out. Whether they actually Christians or not, they’re not brothers. They may be sheep, they may be wolves in sheep’s clothing.

15:06 So now the other thing is, what is this? He who does not, if he does not love, he does not love his brethren. What happens? He’s abided in death. He that does not love his brother abides in death.

15:20 Abides in death, is said, remains, is held and kept continually in spiritual death. That means if I do not love my brother and sister as Christ has loved me, am I not willing to do that? I remain in spiritual death.
Brothers and sisters, is a very good marker, but actually a very powerful, frightening marker.

15:41 Let us today determine ourselves to love one another as he has loved us. Everyone who is a follower of Christ, I must love them. I must go all out to help them.

15:51 Brothers and sisters, is a wonderful thing. Today, in Jesus name I pray. It’s wonderful because we know.

15:56 In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
