LIVING IN THE NAME OF JESUS 3
Colossians 3:17 Philippians 2:10-11
You now realise that living in the name of Jesus is not just mentioning the name of Jesus when you do things. It means living/functioning in the authority and in the will of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ever since we became born again, He gave us His authority. We are just as powerful as Jesus Christ is. He said just as my Father sent me, I send you (John 20:21). At the same time, we have His Spirit as our Spirit, guiding us into all truth in accordance with the will of the Father. By His Spirit and His Word, we are to renew our minds, to become aware of the things that pertain to Christ and to us as well. Because we're Christ in us. Just as it would be strange for the governor's representative in our example to conduct himself in a manner unworthy of the governor, either by doing wrong or being afraid of anything, so it would be strange for us to conduct ourselves in a manner unworthy of the Lord. Either through outright sin, or by living fearful, worried and defeated lives.
In our case, He that sent us, dwells within us, and has all authority to Himself. Everything in the universe is subject to Him. We must be aware of who we are! The same power by which we cast out devils, and heal the sick, is the same power by which we maintain our peace and live holy lives. This call and gospel is complete. We must ensure we continue to grow in the knowledge of God (Christ) because that's how we will know the things that pertain to Him and to us of course. That's how we will be aware of what it means to function in His name. That's how we will live holy, peaceful, powerful, in love, etc. That's what it means to live in the name of Jesus. Note that Philippians 2:10 says "that at the name of Jesus, every knee..." He didn't actually say "at the mention of the name". He said "at the name" I.e in the authority of Jesus, ever knee will bow! Please be aware of this authority you carry, to live holy and powerful. Continue in the name of Jesus. You're blessed. Accept Jesus today. Believe He's the Son of God who died and resurrected for you and Confess Him as Lord of your life. You're blessed.
