How to Break and Free from Loneliness
(Continuation from yesterday..)
8. The body of Christ is the best antidote to loneliness
It may define in two different ways, first is to receive the Body of Christ everyday and the second one is to know that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit – all those who follow Christ and have been baptized with one Spirit are the body of Christ. In the body we become one despite our differences; we have fellowship in the Spirit even when alone. We are of one mind, one spirit, one purpose, and have one goal. If you devote ourself to the building of the body of Christ through personal faithfulness, God will ensure that you find your place and your ministry within it.
Romans 12:5 “So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.”
1 Corinthians 12:12 “For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many are one body, so also is Christ.”
1 Corinthians 12:26 “And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.”
Ephesians 2:19-22 “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”
Ephesians 4:11-13 “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints, for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
9. Take every effort to receive Jesus Christ.
Romans 12:1 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”
a) We Must Receive Christ
“As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.” John 1:12
b) We Receive Christ Through Faith.
“By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast.” Ephesians 2:8,9
c) When We Receive Christ, We Experience a New Birth
We Receive Christ by Personal Invitation
[Christ speaking] “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him.” Revelation 3:20
d) Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self
Repentance and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for your sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. You receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.
Prayer: Abba Father, Thank You for this precious time of reverent reflection on all that Christ did for us at Calvary. Now we come to You today in grateful remembrance of what the Lord Jesus Christ achieved on Calvary’s cross for all of us, when He shed His precious blood on the cross, to pay the enormous price of our sin.. and became a ransom for many. We share this cup of blessing in His name, remembering how He Himself took the cup in the upper room, as the hour of His crucifixion drew near and said, ‘this is My blood which is shed for many – do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.’ Thank You for this holy sacrament and may I never approach the communion table in an unworthy manner, knowing that as often we eat this bread and drink the cup, we proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes again.. in great glory and majesty. Praise Your holy name, Amen.
