Download or read book Christformation in You written by Christinal Pillai and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christformation is about the divine nature of Christ being successfully formed in you to the fullest, which is the Heavenly Father's predestined and eternal will for you. Christ is formed in your born-again spirit with the indispensable help of God, the Holy Spirit. Your soul-your mind-is only then transformed into the mind of Christ in proportion to Christformation that has already occurred in your born again spirit. The extent to which you obey Christ our Lord will determine how much you are sowing into your new being. As a result of your obedient sowing, you will finally reap a proportionate body to clothe the Christ-formed spirit and transformed soul upon Christ's second coming. Your imperishable, Christ-conformed body is being built at God's right hand now, according to your personal obedience to His word. Therefore, isn't it then important to obey God the Holy Spirit's leading for full Christformation in you? Would you want to be found partially unclothed or shamefully naked of Christ's divine nature before God the Heavenly Father? This book highlights what you need to know about Christformation in you. These questions below are answered with Bible references to guide you to more truths about this essential experience in every believer of Christ, in fulfillment of God's promise: - What is Christformation in you? - Why is Christformation in you necessary? - Where else is Christformation mentioned in the Bible? - How does Christformation occur in you? - Who will have Christformation? - Who is involved with your Christformation? - When does full Christformation happen in you?
Download or read book You Belong to Christ written by J. Brian Tucker and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You Belong to Christ explores the way that the Apostle Paul sought to form the social identity of one of his most important Christ-following communities. It sheds light on the way various social identities function within the Pauline community and provides guidance concerning the social implications of the gospel. Drawing from contemporary social identity theories as well as ancient source material, J. Brian Tucker describes the way 1 Corinthians 1-4 forms social identity in its readers, so that what results is an alternative community with a distinct ethos, in contrast to the Roman Empire and its imperial ideology. This book contends that previous identities are not obliterated "in Christ," but maintain their fundamental significance and serve to further the Pauline mission by means of social integration. Providing a comprehensive survey of Christian identity in Pauline studies as well as an interesting look into the material remains of Roman Corinth, this volume provides a social-scientific reading of 1 Corinthians 1-4, and argues that Paul's strategy was to form salient "in Christ" social identity in those to whom he wrote.
Download or read book How to Let Christ Be Formed In You written by Bassey B. Essien and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians seem to put their confidence in a system of religious worship and seriously commit themselves to this. This book intends to move the reader from dependence on religious formalism to a deeper intimacy with a personal God who daily walks with us, talks to us and diligently directs our life when it is committed to Him. Christ being formed in a Christian is not just a common thought of Bassey Essien, but it cut into his heart when he meditated on the word of Paul “until Christ is formed in you” (Gal 4:19). One thing is to hear the word of God and another thing is to love the word formed in you. Formation of Christ in you makes what is formed to be a part of you living and your lifestyle. When Christ is formed in you, you do not struggle to be Christ-like, you just find yourself being Christ like. We get into Christ formation mould by appropriating all the means of grace God has provided for us and hold ourselves into various Christian disciplines shown in the scriptures. When we by choice learn and implement all the known means of grace and Christian disciplines, we will step into a new dimension of freedom, success in every Christian endeavor and inner peace. Learn about the means of grace, Christian disciplines and how to step into the very presence of God on daily basis, basking in His love.
Download or read book Christ Formed in You written by Brian G. Hedges and published by Shepherd Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about spiritual formation, the "grace-driven developmental process in which the soul grows in conformity to the image of Christ." The acid test of all spiritual formation is this: Are you becoming more like Jesus? Are the contours of your character being shaped by his image, formed in his likeness? This ongoing transformation is possible for you. You can become more and more like Jesus Christ. But there is only one way: through your increasing understanding and application of the gospel. That's what this book is about. Book jacket.
Download or read book Dietrich Bonhoeffer s Christian Humanism written by Jens Zimmermann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jens Zimmermann locates Bonhoeffer within the Christian humanist tradition extending back to patristic theology. He begins by explaining Bonhoeffer's own use of the term humanism (and Christian humanism), and considering how his criticism of liberal Protestant theology prevents him from articulating his own theology rhetorically as a Christian humanism. He then provides an in-depth portrayal of Bonhoeffer's theological anthropology and establishes that Bonhoeffer's Christology and attendant anthropology closely resemble patristic teaching. The volume also considers Bonhoeffer's mature anthropology, focusing in particular on the Christian self. It introduces the hermeneutic quality of Bonhoeffer's theology as a further important feature of his Christian humanism. In contrast to secular and religious fundamentalisms, Bonhoeffer offers a hermeneutic understanding of truth as participation in the Christ event that makes interpretation central to human knowing. Having established the hermeneutical structure of his theology, and his personalist configuration of reality, Zimmermann outlines Bonhoeffer's ethics as 'Christformation'. Building on the hermeneutic theology and participatory ethics of the previous chapters, he then shows how a major part of Bonhoeffer's life and theology, namely his dedication to the Bible as God's word, is also consistent with his Christian humanism.
Download or read book Unhindered Abundance written by Ken Baugh and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rewire Your Brain with Truth from Scripture Have you ever felt stuck in your Christian life? Have you wondered if the abundant life Jesus promised is really available for you right here and right now? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then this book is for you. This book will help you identify the spiritual growth barriers that are keeping you stuck as well as show you the way to experience more of the abundant life: a life characterized by more love, joy, peace, and hope than you ever dreamed possible before. Ken Baugh draws us into the inner workings of the brain and the heart, which inform how we process negative and traumatic experiences, but which also can be diverted from health and wholeness by such negative experiences. How we process hard things intellectually and spiritually recalibrates us toward either health and wholeness or bitterness and defeatism. Ken helps us rewire our brains by simmering in the Scriptures that remind us whom we belong to and what God has promised us. The end result is a resilient, robust faith prepared to weather every storm and keep in step with Jesus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gospel presents a life-changing NUTS wisdom that conflicts with normal ways of making sense of the world. There is the World According to Normal. There is the World According to NUTS . . . where NUTS is an acronym for Never Underestimate the Spirit. The wisdom of Jesus is a NUTS wisdom.—From the book All people are different, but some are more different than others. Christians are meant to be the most different of all. Yet we often “normalize” God. We judge what is a successful Christian and a successful church by the world according to Normal, not the world according to NUTS, the wisdom of Jesus.In Jesus Drives Me Crazy!, Leonard Sweet reminds us of the “crazy wisdom” of Christ and how our lives and our churches can and should be different from the way “normal” people live. He says, “Jesus wants to drive you crazy . . . crazy in love with God, with life.” Jesus Drives Me Crazy! challenges you to make the upside-down wisdom of God your own, inspiring you to live an extraordinary Christian life that does not conform to the world, but transforms the world.When you truly grasp the freeing truth that we do not have to conform to this world, then you can become the crazy, zany, unpredictable, but powerful force for Jesus you were intended to be. Jesus Drives Me Crazy! shows how, by losing your mind, you can find your soul.

Download or read book Grace and Law in Galatians written by Dennis Ngien and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-01-19 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author does not aim to defend Luther's and Calvin's reading of Galatians against modern biblical scholarship but to read and hear them in their own contexts. He grapples with major theological themes underlying their approach: law and gospel, active and passive righteousness, faith alone yet not alone, attribution of contraries between Christ and the justified saints, human love and God's love, Christ as gift and example, the creative power of God's word, union with Christ, the economic action of the Son, the role of Holy Spirit in the justified life, faith in Christ and the faith of Christ, the uses of the law, true identity as God's gift, flesh and Spirit, and radical discontinuity of the old existence and the re-creation of the new. Readers will learn from the Reformers how they apply a text or theological theme homiletically in a pastoral context and appreciate how their understanding of the gospel can spiritually nurture the life of faith.

Download or read book Being Human Becoming Human written by Brian Gregor and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be human? The German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer thought deeply about this questions out of a desire to understand the importance of Christ and the incarnation for modern culture. His conviction that Christ died for a new humanity is at the core of his theological anthropology. This collection assembles a distinguished and international group of scholars to examine Bonhoeffer's understanding of human sociality. From the introduction of his dissertation, Sanctorum Communio, where he notes 'the social intention of all the basic Christian concepts', to his final writings in prison, where he describes Christian faith as being for others, the theme of human sociality runs throughout Bonhoeffer's works. This volume examines Bonhoeffer's rich resources for thinking about what it means to be human, to be the church, to be a disciple, and to be ethically responsible in our contemporary world. Being Human, Becoming Human is vital reading for Bonhoeffer scholars as well as for those invested in theological debates regarding the social nature of human beings.
