Introduction
We live in a time when practically everything can be imitated and faked.
Causes of proliferation of imitation:
complacency - loss of value of personal effort
price - genuine items are expensive
Worst imitations today
Fake foods - rice, cabbage, egg, chicken,
Fake jewels - imitations stones, fake golds
Fake news -
Fake Christianity - fake holiness, fake church, fake gospel, fake life, fake ministers
There’s a positive effect of the proliferation of fake things
the genuine stuff are “exalted” - imitation is the highest form of flattery
the genuine stuff becomes even more important - more sought after!
There is a need today for the true people of God to rise up and be visible!
But we need to show the proof Christ in us!
2 Corinthians 13.5
Unless Christ is in you, you are “disqualified” - a phony, bogus!
Main Points
Genuine Christianity is Christ in His people!
It was His desire
John 14.18
John 17.23, 26
It is His life
Galatians 2.20
Romans 8.10
Genuine Christianity has proofs!
1.
The body is dead to sin
Romans 8.10-11
We cannot be both alive to sin and to righteousness!
Christ in you means your “body” is now dead to sin.
We have “mortify” the flesh
Romans 8.13
Colossians 3.5
2. His Word dwells richly
Colossians 3.16
Where the Word of God is welcome, God is welcome!
Where the Word of God is abundant, God’s Presence is also abundant!
3. We have the mind of Christ
Philippians 2.5
Humble mind - Christ in you means you are wiling to lay down your will in favor of the will of God.
Obedient mind - Christ in you means your are willing to fulfill the will of God unto death!
4. His power is displayed
2 Corinthians 13.2-4
Romans 15.19
powerful living is manifested in boldness to speak the truth
Colossians1.29
powerful living is manifested in one’s labors in the ministry
5. We have the marks of Christ in our bodies
Galatians 6.17
Paul’s physical marks of suffering in Christ’s name is of greater value than the circumcision under the Law!
Marks of Christ - we received because of, during, and through, our obedience of His will.
Conclusion
Why we need the proof of Christ in us?
1.
It is our testimony to the world.
Abraham’s “tent-living lifestyle”
Jacob’s limping walk
Enoch and Noah’s preaching the coming judgment
Paul’s defective eyes, marks of beatings, etc.
2. It is our personal guarantee.
Colossians 1.27
2 Thessalonians 1.12
