What have you learned about Jesus...?

Ephesians 4:20-24, 30 NKJV

But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Shalom! Day #19. Do you know that we are to know Him and to make Him known? Let's pray. Father, we want to grow daily in the knowledge of You, to know you more and we want to make You known. Let it be so Lord, that we learn about You and be rooted in You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Folks,  you know, even though I've known the Lord for almost 15 years, still there's a lot to learn about Him, because everyday God gives me a new opportunity to learn and to know about Him. How about you folks? Yes, we have heard about Him and have been taught by Him but many at times we forget about Him, who is Him. We tend to uphold religion than the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Jesus did not teach religion, He did not bring a new religion but He came so that you and I be reconciled with God, He came to restore our relationship with God. When we are reconciled with God, He starts the process of creating you into a new person. Our old man fell into sin, our new man was created in the salvation power of God. As I mentioned earlier, everyday God gives me a new opportunity to learn and to know Him. So today, let's learn together.

1. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
⊙ to know Him is about to learn about Him. It is also to allow Him to fill us with His knowledge about His character, about His Lordship, His power. In Merriam-Webster's dictionary, the word LEARN means

a (1) : to gain knowledge or understanding of or skill in by study, instruction, or experience <learn a trade>
(2) : memorize <learn the lines of a play>
b : to come to be able <learn to dance>
c : to come to realize <learned that honesty paid>
2 a nonstandard : teach
b obsolete : to inform of something
3 : to come to know : hear <we just learned that he was ill>

The work of the Spirit of God in our lives is to renew us from inside out. To restore us to God. To revive us from our fall. So when we begin to give ourselves to know Him, let us also allow Him to teach us a new thing.

2. Put on the new man.
⊙ the knowledge of God to you is able to change us from inside out. Therefore, the power of God is able to create you into a new man, a new creation and this new creation is created according to God's will and design. You were created as a new creation in true righteousness and holiness.

3. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit.
⊙ the Lord recognizes you by the seal of Holy Spirit in our lives and the faith that you have in Him. When we have known the truth, be in the truth live by that truth. When you have known the truth of God, be not living in sin for it grieves the Holy Spirit of God in us.

Therefore folks, we who have known the Lord are to make Him known to all. Tell the world about His love, grace and mercy.  Tell the world about His miracles,  His power that's at work in our lives now.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
