Alive in Christ Missions

(b) Paul asks two crucial questions in Romans 8:33-34 "Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died more than that, who was raised to life - is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us." Who will bring a charge against God's elect? No one will, because Christ is our advocate. Who will condemn us? No one will, because Christ, the One who died for us, is the one who condemns. We have both the advocate and judge as our Savior.

(c) Believers are born again (regenerated) when they believe (John 3:3; Titus 3:5). For a Christian to lose his salvation, he would have to be un-regenerated. The Bible gives no evidence that the new birth can be taken away.

(d) The Holy Spirit indwells all believers (John 14:17; Romans 8:9) and baptizes all believers into the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13). For a believer to become unsaved, he would have to be "un-indwelt" and detached from the Body of Christ.

(e) John 3:15 states that whoever believes in Jesus Christ will "have eternal life." If you believe in Christ today and have eternal life, but lose it tomorrow, then it was never "eternal" at all. Hence if you lose your salvation, the promises of eternal life in the Bible would be in error.

(f) For the most conclusive argument, Scripture says it best itself, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39). Remember the same God who saved you is the same God who will keep you. Once we are saved we are always saved. Our salvation is most definitely eternally secure!

As regards the people of the world, nothing is more important than responding to the gospel. This requires that the gospel be preached (Romans 10:14), so once we make the decision to follow Jesus and preach His good news, we must deny dead worldly pursuits and comforts, and do the Lord’s work. Jesus wants followers, not professors, and those who are spiritually alive will be instruments in the Lord’s hands to call others to new life in Christ.

THE MISSIONS OF THE A.C.M.

Our mission at the A.C.M is seven-fold. All of the sub-missions are inspired by the Holy Spirit and guided by the Bible.
Biblical Basis- We believe in the supreme authority of The Bible and hence whatever structure or programme we have is 100% Bible-based. We teach and practice true Bible doctrine, use it for instruction, apply it in discipline and correction, and appreciate it to build faith in us. 2Timothy 3:16-17. We encourage our members to be fully equipped in the word of God so as to be ready to share the good news, defend and explain what they believe and also convict people to repent and get born again. 2Timothy 2:15; 4:2-5. We also have Bible Studies programmes that are conducted and all burning questions are answered in light of Scripture. 1Peter 3:15.
Passionate Prayer- As the only with which we communicate with our heavenly Father, we engage in prayer continuously and fervently daily. 1Thessalonians 5:17. Our prayers are routine, with daily prayer chanson of six four-hour periods. Each member belongs to a team that will be praying at least once everyday. Our prayers are also filled with passion and seriousness. James 5:16-17. The prayers also address real life situations and the prayer request are based on God's will. Matthew 6:10-13.
Enthusiastic Evangelism- Having understood our mandate and dressed in full gear, equipped by prayer and The Word, we put on the boots and march into the battlefield! Ephesians 6:10-18. The boots are a symbol of the enthusiastic readiness to preach the gospel. We follow Christ's command of going "into every city..." Luke 10:1,3; of going "therefore and making disciples..." Matthew 28:19, of "going into all the world and preaching the gospel to every creature..." Mark 16:16 and that of "doing the work of Him who sent us..." John 4:34; 9:4. We do it with zeal, with passion, with such eagerness! We do it because He did it. We don't count the cost. We stand ready and pounce quick! We preach where app

THE VISION OF THE A.C.M.

Our vision can be summarised in this statement,
Sharing abundant life in Jesus Christ!
This we find to be the theme of John 10:10 which is our scriptural basis. This verse is a wonderful scripture in which The Lord Jesus Christ pronounces His mission to the world. The enemy, satan the devil has been around for some time. His mission? To "kill, steal and destroy. " But here, Jesus Christ says He has come to counter the works of satan. He has come to give us life. Not just life, but life in abundance. Christ came to undo what satan has done. 1John 3:8.
By His sacrificial death on the cross, Jesus Christ destroyed all the works of satan, by His resurrection, He has conquered death and brought life to all those who believe in Him. John 3:16.
This when we believed in Him, He gave us life- enjoyable life here on earth, and everlasting life in heaven. And this is the life we would be sharing as we go around the world!

*DEVOTIONAL FOR JULY 5TH*

*"Alive In Christ"*

READING SCRIPTURE: *EPHESIANS 2:4-6*

The most important truth in all of Christianity
is stated right here: We are made alive
together with Christ. Notice that Paul says
"with Christ" three times: We are "made alive
with Christ." We are "raised up with Christ."
We are made to sit with Him. He has come to
live in us, and He has joined himself to us, and
we are one person with Him.

That is the most
important fact upon which to build all the rest
of Christian faith and experience-this great,
tremendous statement that we are made alive
with Jesus Christ.

Do you remember how the Lord himself
taught that? He said, "I am the vine; you are
the branches" _(John 15:5a)._

Can you tell where
the branch ends and the vine starts? No. They
are one plant, sharing one life together. So
from here on our identity is no longer "in
Adam" but it is "in Christ."

We are no longer
just ordinary human beings. We are new
creations, begun again, linked with the life of
Jesus Christ.

Later in this letter Paul likens the church to a
body, of which Christ is the head. Have you
examined your body lately?

Have you noticed
that your fingers don't come off if you merely
twist them a half-turn and pull? They are tied
to the body, and they share the life of the
body. They are not attached by any
mechanical process, but rather they are an
organic part.

These figures are all given to us
to show us the intimate way we are united to
Jesus Christ, to tell us that He is our life.

So never think of yourself in any other way,
because the whole work of the enemy is to
get you to disbelieve that and to go back to
thinking that you are just an ordinary
individual, struggling on through life, trying
to make it the best way you can, needing to
mobilize all your human resources to try to
get ahead of the other fellow and to achieve
as much of the fulfillment of life as you can.

Any time you believe that, you go right back
to acting as you once did- back t
