Have you ever felt as though your best is not good enough, as though you are at your wits end, and cannot go on a minute longer? Welcome to the human race. It seems that most of mankind has felt this way at one time or another. It is not uncommon to want to throw in the towel when you feel unappreciated, or as though all your hard work does not matter. Just think what Christ must have felt like as he took on so much to save mankind from total condemnation in hell.
Many people have heard of the "Christ Consciousness", but don't know exactly what that phrase means. Christians, of course, insist that there has only been one person in all of history who had the Christ Consciousness--a Jewish carpenter or stone mason named Jesus ben Joseph, son of Mary, who lived and died in the first century C.E. and who, as it turned out, was really God Himself.
If we ever expect to receive good things from the Father, we must come into His presence from a position of Life and Holiness. Only the Living can come before the Lord and expect good things, and those who claim to be alive must demonstrate freedom from death by being Holy, not by our own righteousness, but rather the righteousness of Christ.

Jesus Christ had to be many things: the Lamb of God, the High priest, the Son of Man and so forth, as we have expounded.

The gospel is all about God. It's all about the finished work of Christ. It's all about (1) What God has done, and (2) We we are in Christ because of what he has done. Living in the gospel is living in spiritual reality.
Paul says all he wanted to know was 'Christ crucified' (I Cor 2:2). There is so much emphasis today on 'Christ coming' that this often obscures 'Christ crucified.' The Practical Gospel is all about living in the power of the cross: in 'Christ crucified.'
Dr. Tyler compares the notion of selfism (self-esteem) to the life and practices of Jesus Christ. By so doing, he demonstrates that self-esteem flies directly in the face of what Christ was teaching others, i.e., we should serve each other.
The Book of Revelation (or Revelation of Jesus Christ) is arguably the most complete future installment of God ever beheld by a man and subsequently addressed to the Church. In this article, we will look at Chapter one, verse nineteen, and consider the instructions given by Jesus that virtually outlines the prophetic book.
We often struggle with guilt over the sins we've committed, or because we feel that we're just not good enough. But because of Christ's death, we are completely righteous and totally forgiven. It is God's gift to us and we can't earn it, or add to it, all we have to do is receive it.
In creation, God made man in his own image and gave him dominion over the earth realm, having a kingdom as he himself had a kingdom called Heaven. He formed the figure of man from the dust of the Earth and breathed his own life into him. Thus he made a friend that he could relate to, talk and walk with. However, the man turned his kingdom over to the enemy, called Satan or Lucifer. Satan was the enemy of God, having rebelled against God's authority, and desired to destroy God's Creation. So God devised a plan to return man back to the original state.
When we see ourselves as God sees us, in the power of the finsihed work of the cross, everything looks totally different. Our job is to see ourselves as God does, not as we typically see ourselves.

The Lord has presented everyone with a long list of promised blessings, however, no one is able by his/her own effort to obtain those blessings. In our own effort, we can only obtain the numerous curses that the Lord has pronounced on all who are imperfect; but God has made a way for all who believe in Jesus Christ.
