LIVE IN HIS NAME

John 20:31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. (NIV)

Jesus' purpose of coming to this world was to give life to mankind. Man died spiritually through Adam but made alive through Christ. In John 10:10 Jesus said "...I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

Obviously it was a spiritual life, and it is the God-kind of life. We live this life in His Name.

What does it mean to live in His Name? It means to live in His stead or place. We live His life for Him. The life has the same quality in us as it is with Him. It didn't become different in us. We just live it in His stead. Hallelujah!

Our theme scripture says "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." His Name is His total Person. His total Person means everything that made Him who He is; His glory, power, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, love etc. To have life in His Name is to live in His total Person; to live in all of His wisdom, knowledge, understanding, glory, power etc.

This is the Glorious life you were called into. You were called and entrusted to live eternal life to the full. Let this be your consciousness and live it as your reality. Live life in His Name. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

Through the Word of God I have accurate understanding of the Gospel of Christ and what it means to me. Through my faith in Jesus I have and live His life in His Name, living in all of His goodness, blessings, glory, power, wisdom, knowledge and understanding, bringing honour and fulfillment to the Father, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
