Luke 19v10 - "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost"

when Jesus calls Himself the Son of Man, he makes the claim to be the one foretold in prophecy, as one having eternal power and authority (Daniel 7v13-14)

Galatians 3v16 - "16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ"

Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promise and covenant of blessing to man. If you have Jesus, you have everything

Hebrews 2v14 - "Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death." (NLT)

Jesus was the promised Messiah

Jesus became a man that he might take our place and defeat death

He is therefore the true Messiah and there is salvation in no one else

Psalm 107v22 - "And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!"

1 Thessalonians 5v18 - "give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

Thankfulness is not just a reaction to something good. It is a disposition of life

Ephesians 1v13 - "In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,"

The new life in Christ is a life in the Spirit. We must therefore have a life that focuses on the spiritual

Ephesians 1 vs19 "and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might"

The believer has the resurrection power of God working in him and for him

Ephesians 1 vs15-19 "that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,"

We can live a victorious life when we know God, intimately, and when we understand what He has done for us in Christ.

Ephesians 1v11 - "In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,"

in Christ we have an inheritance in God. We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ

Ephesians 1v3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,"

When you understand what God has fulfilled for us spiritually - we don't walk through life defeated
