Christ's

Ro. {15:30} Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus
Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive
together with me in [your] prayers to God for me


For the Lord Jesus Christ's sake.
For the love of the Spirit.


1 Cor. {4:9} For I think
that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were
appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the
world, and to angels, and to men. {4:10} We [are] fools for
Christ’s sake, but ye [are] wise in Christ; we [are] weak, but
ye [are] strong; ye [are] honourable, but we [are] despised.
{4:11} Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and
thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain
dwellingplace; {4:12} And labour, working with our own
hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer
it: {4:13} Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the
filth of the world, [and are] the offscouring of all things
unto this day. {4:14} I write not these things to shame you,
but as my beloved sons I warn [you. ]{4:15} For though ye
have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet [have ye] not
many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you
through the gospel.


1 Cor. {7:22} For he that is called in the Lord, [being] a servant, is
the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, [being]
free, is Christ’s servant. {7:23} Ye are bought with a price;
be not ye the servants of men. {7:24} Brethren, let every
man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.


Let every man wherein he is called-
therein abide with God.


1 Cor {15:21} For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also
the resurrection of the dead. {15:22} For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive. {15:23} But every
man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they
that are Christ’s at his coming. {15:24} Then [cometh] the
end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God,
even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and
all authority and power. {15:25} For he must reign, till he
hath put all enemies under his feet. {15:26} The last enemy
[that] shall be destroyed [is] death. {15:27} For he hath put
all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are
put under [him, it is] manifest that he is excepted, which did
put all things under him. {15:28} And when all things shall
be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be
subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may
be all in all.

Afterward...

They that are Christ's at his coming.


2 Cor. {5:20}
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did
beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ’s stead, be ye
reconciled to God. {5:21} For he hath made him [to be] sin
for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him.


We pray you in Christ's stead...
be ye reconciled to God.


2 Cor. {12:10} Therefore I take
pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in
persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am
weak, then am I strong.


For Christ's sake...
for when I am weak then am I strong.


Gal. {5:24}
And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the
affections and lusts. {5:25} If we live in the Spirit, let us
also walk in the Spirit. {5:26} Let us not be desirous of vain
glory, provoking one another, envying one another.


They that are Christ's...
have crucified the flesh.
If we live in the Spirit...
let us also walk in the Spirit.


Eph. {4:32} And be ye kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for
Christ’s sake hath forgiven you


Forgiving one another...
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.


1 Pet. {4:12} Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery
trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing
happened unto you: {4:13} But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are
partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be
revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. {4:14} If
ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy [are ye;] for
the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part
he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.


Rejoice...
inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings.


For Christ's sake; those that are Christ's; Christ's sufferings; are Christ's; Christ's stead; Christ's servant.


We are Christ's. We belong to Christ.
We must live in the Spirit, the Spirit Christ gives to us.


Have you ever felt compelled by the Spirit? I'm not talking some mystical otherworldly experience but rather have you ever felt the tugging of a Spirit within you to go against the natural man in you? The Holy Spirit is real and has been given to us so that we may live in Christ.


Ps. {51:10} Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me.
{51:11} Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy
spirit from me.
{51:12} Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me [with
thy] free spirit.


By the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ may the Holy Spirit live in us, sealing us, making us Christ's forever and ever. Please Lord, take not thy Holy Spirit from us, from me. By faith, through Christ's righteousness none of my own but through His alone, forever and ever.


Amen.
