I am of Christ

Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of your face you will eat bread, until you return to the ground because you came from it; Because dust is you and you will return to dust.

Who are you? There, biologists and scientists can talk for hours and many books have been written about it. Some smart people think we descend from the fish, others from the monkeys, and so there are different opinions. The Bible teaches us that we are dust and that we will return to dust again. Well say, what a negative word. Man does not mind anything at all, it's a bit dusty and when life's out, the weather turns into dust. Indeed, so is it.

You and I do not suggest anything, we can be very honest. Perhaps you are good at making a lot of money, good at your hobby or having a lot of knowledge of the Bible. Maybe you can sing well and become a star? Indeed, sometimes people can do a lot and sometimes seem a lot. But still there is that text: dust you are. For all we can have, we cannot stop death and we cannot give us salvation. It all stops when life is out of our way.

And that is precisely the wealth of a child of God! Who knows that he or she is dust and does not actually suggest anything. Who knows that he or she is only sinful and, as the Bible says, unable to do the good. But whoever believes in the Lord Jesus, who has everything in him! And then suddenly there is a powerful person, a living person, who will live forever. Then it will not stop when we return to dust. No, then the wonderful life begins with Him only.

Then it's wonderful that God wants such a person, who does not actually imagine and choose Him. That God opens His arms wide to embrace you and look at you through Jesus Christ. Then you are not suddenly a popular person or a great person, you are just a dependent person. Someone who expects everything from God and His Spirit. Then you may flourish and grow to his honor.

Jesus died but did not turn into dust. He is ascended and sitting on God's right hand to pray for us. He blows His Spirit on us and shares gifts to you and me. Use those gifts and live before Him! Let yourself flow through the Spirit, open yourself and you will see what gifts God has for you. Your dead I come to life through life with Christ and you may live by His mercy! Who am I? I am of Him, Jesus Christ!
