http://bible.com/r/G1.W Läs Thirty-One Truths: Who I Am in Christ med mig:

A DWELLING PLACE FOR GOD

Believers in Jesus are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. God Himself lives within us. All believers everywhere are individual members of a grand dwelling of God—the church! God continues to build up this dwelling.

READ: Ephesians 2:22

READ: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20

We are a dwelling place for God. A place for Him to display His glory. The idea that God lives inside of us should radically impact how we live. How should we use our body knowing that it is a temple of the Holy Spirit?

WRONG THINKING: It doesn’t matter how I live.

RIGHT THINKING: God dwells within me. I should use my body to glorify Him.

A HOLY TEMPLE (UNITED WITH OTHER BELIEVERS)

In the Old Testament, the temple was the building where the presence of God dwelt. In the New Testament, God’s people are both individually and corporately His temple.

READ: Ephesians 2:19-21

READ: 1 Corinthians 3:1-17

Paul warns us about how we treat the church because it is the dwelling place of God (1 Corinthians 3:16-17). Are you building up the church or tearing it down?

WRONG THINKING: The church is really not all that important.

RIGHT THINKING: I should work to build up the church! It is the temple of God.

A MEMBER OF GOD’S HOUSEHOLD

Believers in Christ are counted among the family of God and are members of His household.

READ: Ephesians 2:19

READ: 1 Timothy 3:14-15

Families can be challenging. Our earthly parents are unable to be perfect, but God is a perfect Father. He is loving and wise and trustworthy in every way. How can the reality that you are a part of God’s family change the way you think and go about your day?

WRONG THINKING: I don’t really belong anywhere. I am the black sheep of the family.

RIGHT THINKING: God has accepted me into his family as His beloved child. Therefore, He wants me to imitate Him (Ephesians 5:1).

A FELLOW CITIZEN WITH THE SAINTS

Believers in Christ are counted among the people of God and are citizens of heaven.

READ: Ephesians 2:19

READ: Philippians 3:17-21

True belonging! Never again on the outside! We are citizens of heaven for eternity. What are some of the benefits of being a citizen of the United States? What are some of the many blessings of being a citizen of heaven?

WRONG THINKING: My earthly citizenship is all that matters.

RIGHT THINKING: I have a heavenly citizenship that is far more important than any earthly ties.

GIVEN ACCESS TO THE FATHER

In Christ, we are able to approach God and have relationship with Him.

READ: Ephesians 2:18

READ: Romans 5:1-2 and Ephesians 3:8-12

God has not kept us at arm’s length. He is as close to us as His Spirit who dwells within us. God our Father has made a way where there was no way. He opened the door and stands with open arms. Do you come into the presence of the Lord? What are some things that might keep you from spending time with Him?

WRONG THINKING: I cannot share my problems with God. He is distant and doesn’t care.

RIGHT THINKING: God is close, and I have access to Him! His Spirit lives in me, and I can come to Him with all of my needs.

RECONCILED TO GOD

To be brought into friendship with God.

READ: Ephesians 2:16-17

READ: 2 Corinthians 5:18-21

There is no longer enmity between us and God and other believers because of sin. In Christ, we are reconciled to God and to one another, but sometimes we go back to thoughts that treat God like an enemy. What are some things in your life that might trigger negative thoughts about God? What should you do about them?

WRONG THINKING: God is my enemy. He is against me. He has rejected me.

RIGHT THINKING: In Christ, I have been reconciled to God. God counts me His friend. Now I must live out that reconciliation in word and deed.

MADE PART OF ONE NEW MAN

Jews and Gentiles were once separated. But now as the Jew and the Gentile both approach God through Jesus Christ, there is unity between them.

READ: Ephesians 2:14-15

READ: Romans 3:29-30 and Romans 15:1-12

Being united in the body of Christ means that old hostilities due to different backgrounds must be laid aside. We are one in Christ; He is our peace. In Christ, how can you walk in unity with all believers? What are some ways you can reach out to another believer of a different background to express the unity we have in Christ?

WRONG THINKING: It’s us verses them.

RIGHT THINKING: Christ has torn down the walls between people of different backgrounds. This person who is different from me is my brother in Christ.

BROUGHT NEAR BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST

We all were separated from God because of our sin. But through the death of Jesus we have been brought into a close, intimate relationship with Him.

READ: Ephesians 2:13

READ: Psalm 145:18-21 and Psalm 148:13-14

God has brought you near. The wall has been torn down and the curtain torn in two. Will you now draw near in faith? Is God your closest friend? What are some things that you can do to foster greater intimacy with the Lord?

WRONG THINKING: I am far away from the Lord.

RIGHT THINKING: In Christ, I have been brought near to God.

GOD’S WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS

In Christ, God has given believers new spiritual life and re-created them after the ruin of the fall of man.

READ: Ephesians 2:10

READ: 2 Corinthians 5:14-21

Each of us has been created for an eternal purpose. How then shall we live? Upon what does God want you to build your life? What does God want you to do to live out the new creation that you already are in Christ?

WRONG THINKING: My old habits and who I was before I became a Christian are too strong for me. I will never break free from being that person.

RIGHT THINKING: In Christ, God has re-created me! I have a new nature that God enables to obey Him.
