Now In Christ

As Christians, we are called to live a life of boldness and confidence in our faith. In 2 Timothy 1:7, we are reminded that "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." However, many of us struggle with fear, doubt, and uncertainty, which can hold us back from living the life God has called us to live. In this article, we will explore what it means to cultivate boldness in faith and provide practical tips on how to do so. What is Boldness in Faith? Boldness in faith is not just about being confident or courageous; it's about trusting in God's power and promises, even when we can't see what's ahead. As Hebrews 11:1 reminds us, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." It's about being willing to take risks and face challenges head-on, knowing that God is always with us. In the Bible, we see many examples of boldness in faith. We see David facing Goliath, trusting in Go...

  Introduction As believers, we often find ourselves in situations where we feel powerless, helpless, and uncertain about the future. We may face challenges that seem insurmountable, and obstacles that appear too great to overcome. But in these moments, we must remember that we are not just passive observers in the kingdom of God. We are called to be active participants, taking bold action to claim what is rightfully ours. In Matthew 11:12, Jesus teaches us that the kingdom of heaven is not for the faint of heart. It is not for those who are content to simply sit back and wait for things to happen. No, the kingdom of heaven is for those who are willing to take it by force. But what does it mean to "take it by force"? And how can we apply this principle to our lives? The Kingdom of Heaven: A Place of Spiritual Warfare The kingdom of heaven is not just a physical place, but a spiritual realm where God's will is done. It is a place of spiritual warfare, where the forces of l...

As Christians, we often face challenges and obstacles that seem insurmountable. We may feel like we are fighting a losing battle against forces that are beyond our control. However, the Bible teaches us that we are not alone in this struggle. We have a powerful ally in Jesus Christ, who has given us the authority to deal with the principalities and powers that seek to oppose us. Understanding Principalities and Powers In Ephesians 6:12, the Apostle Paul writes, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Here, Paul is referring to the principalities and powers that operate in the spiritual realm. Principalities and powers are spiritual entities that have been given authority and power by God to operate in the world. However, through the fall of humanity, these entities have been corrupted and now seek to oppose God'...

Introduction Dreams have long fascinated humanity, and the Bible is no stranger to this phenomenon. From Jacob's ladder to Joseph's coat, dreams play a significant role in Scripture, revealing God's plans, warning of impending danger, and providing guidance. As Christians, understanding the sources and significance of dreams can deepen our relationship with God and provide valuable insights into our spiritual lives. In this article, we'll delve into the sources and significance of dreams from a Christian perspective, exploring their role in our spiritual growth and relationship with God. Sources of Dreams The Bible identifies two primary sources of dreams: God and self. In Matthew 1:20, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, instructing him to take Mary as his wife. This divine dream was a message from God, guiding Joseph in his decision-making. On the other hand, our own thoughts and desires can also inspire dreams, Though there is no much Biblical support...

  Introduction Faith is the foundation of the Christian life. It's the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is what enables us to trust God in every circumstance, to believe in His goodness and love, and to have confidence in His promises. In this article, we'll explore the power of faith and how it can transform our lives. The Definition of Faith Faith is not just a feeling or an emotion; it's a choice. It's a decision to trust God, to believe in His Word, and to follow Him no matter what. As the Bible says, "Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ" (Romans 10:17). Faith is not something we conjure up on our own; it's a gift from God, and it grows as we listen to His Word and obey His commands. The Power of Faith in Action One of the most powerful examples of faith in the Bible is the story of Abraham. God called Abraham to leave his home and family and go to a land He would show h...
