I am yours

1 Corinthians 3:23 But you are Christ's and Christ is God's.


To whom do you belong? On that question, you can expect many answers. I'm with Feyenoord calls the one and the other says: I am ajax. Another answer might be: I belong to the Evangelicals and the other says the Reformed. Yet another says I'm with the kids Anabaptists and another in the adult Anabaptists. There are many examples where you can belong to, who you can be. But when we ask this question, in light of the Bible, it may sound there is only one answer: I am of Christ.

Every human being, not a single exception, has turned against God. Every man wants to do nothing of himself to God. Every man chosen by themselves, for themselves and not for God. Why is that? Because man wants to be not of God.Man wants to decide what he or she is doing and actually wants to be each man himself god. That is the blemish which man has placed on the creation of God and that has beaten deep wounds. The whole creation is stained and soaked with sin and the earth will not long exist. God will wipe out and make sure something new again. And every man who does not believe in Christ, will be lost.

That's a tough message, or not? Here we are people put down as enemies of God and that we are indeed. But God did not leave it at that, because he made a promise from the first moment. The man should be given a chance to repent and make it again right with God. Since the punishment should be worn, there must be blood to flow. And the blood flowed on Golgotha, where Jesus Christ went to the cross to die for the sins of man. To win the battle with Satan and thus pave the way to be reconciled to God.

And when we are part of those people who are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, we are of him! You may say, I am Christ! Nothing is more beautiful in this world, nothing makes you more full of joy than to have Jesus Christ. When you're him, you are reconciled to God and may you live by grace. Your life should be focused on Him and do not need to focus more on yourself. You ask yourself anyway just to disappoint, but He will never disappoint you. He will always be there for you, for ever.

And Jesus will then work in you, He will refresh you. His blood drips every day and covers our sins. He is our advocate before God and calls us from our sins.Whenever we do sin, He shows his hands to God and He shows the blood to the Father and says thus: I am for him or her go to the cross. do not see sin and does not ignite your anger, for it is mine.

So we must trust in Jesus Christ. We are His and He is there for us. He helps you in your struggle against sin, because that makes him hurt and damaged us. He wants us to become free from our sins and that He gives His Holy Spirit, Who wants to teach us Jesus more and more.
