What Kind Of Clothes Do You Put On? (3 of 6)

Colossians 3:12-17
October 31, 1999
We've recently found that the Bible tells us that we who know Christ as our Lord and Savior, were raised IN Him. That we are IN Christ. We are SAFE In Him. And as such we ARE to PUT to death sins of the flesh in our lives, and that we're to PUT ASIDE, or PUT OFF, all those sins of emotion and of our tongues. And our Lord makes this all possible for us, because He is all-powerful, and loves us, and wants us to have the abundant, joy filled life of walking daily with Him! AMEN!

Elected. In the Gospel of Luke, God Himself speaks at the Transfiguration of Christ, saying, "Luke 9:35 "35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!'"
Folks, listen to this - it is ONLY in Christ, Jesus our Lord, That we are elect, chosen. You and I who know Christ, at the very moment of our salvation with Jesus Christ, we died to our sin, we were buried with Him, and we were raised with Him, and because we are WITH HIM, we are called elect in Him, and because of that we are, as Pa ...
