Hi my name is Elijah. I Am A Young Man of Twenty-Four Years Of Age Born on the 7th of February 1982.I Am A God Fearing Bible Believing Christian with a great passion for the Kingdom of God and lost souls And I Really Love Jesus With All My Heart.
Who Am I?
I am the salt of the earth (Matt. 5:13) I am the light of the world (Matt. 5:14) I am a child of God (John 1:12) I am part of the true vine, a channel of Christ's life (John 15:1,5) I am Christ's friend (John 15:15) I am chosen and appointed by Christ to bear His fruit (John 15:16) I am a slave of righteousness (Rom. 6:18) I am enslaved to God (Rom. 6:18) I am a son of God; God is spiritually my Father (Rom. 8:14,15; Gal. 3:26, 4:6) I am a joint heir with Christ, sharing His inheritance with Him (Rom. 8:17) I am a temple--a dwelling place--of God. His spirit and His life dwell in me (1 Cor. 3:16; 6:19) I am united to the Lord and am one spirit with Him (1 Cor. 6:17) I am a member of Christ's body (1 Cor. 12:27; Eph. 5:30) I am a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17) I am reconciled to God and am a minister of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:18,19) I am a son of God and one in Christ (Gal. 3:26,28) I am an heir of God since I am a son of God (Gal. 4:6,7) I am a saint (1 Cor. 1:2; Eph.1:1; Phil. 1:1; Col. 1:2) I am God's workmanship--His handiwork--born anew in Christ to do His work (Eph. 2:10) I am a fellow citizen with the rest of God's family (Eph. 2:19) I am a prisoner of Christ (Eph. 3:1; 4:1) I am righteous and holy (Eph. 4:24) I am a citizen of heaven, seated in heaven right now (Eph.2:6; Phil. 3:20) I am hidden with Christ in God (Col. 3:3) I am an expression of the life of Christ because He is my life (Col. 3:4) I am chosen of God, holy and dearly loved (Col.3:12; 1 Thess. 1:4) I am a son of light and not of darkness (1 Thess. 5:5) I am a holy partaker of a heavenly calling (Heb. 3:1) I am a partaker of Christ; I share in His life (Heb. 3:14) I am one of God's living stones, being built up in Christ as a spiritual house (1 Pet. 2:5) I am a member of a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession (1 Pet. 2:9,10) I am an alien and stranger to this world in which I temporarily live (1 Pet. 2:11) I am an enemy of the devil (1 Pet. 5:8) I am a child of God and I will resemble Christ when He returns (1 John 3:1,2) I am born of God, and the evil one--the devil--cannot touch me (1 John 5:18) I am not the great "I am" (Exod. 3:14; John 8:24,28,58), but by the grace of God, I am what I am (1 Cor.1510 Profile last updated: 06/11/06.
I believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God (II Timothy 3:15-17, II Peter 1:21).
I believe there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30).
I believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:34-35); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death (I Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9); His resurrection (John 11:25, I Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); His personal return to earth in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11-16).
I believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of the human nature, and that all are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that only by God's grace through faith alone are we saved (John 3:16-19; 5:24, Romans 3:23; 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5).
What I Believe
I believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are not unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29).
I believe in the spiritual unity of the believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, I Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28).
I believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:13-14, I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30; 5:18).
I believe that we as Christians are examples of the love of God in this world. It is this (agape) love that we desire to possess and without which we have no right to call ourselves Christians (I John 4:16-17).
I believe it is the mandate of the whole Church to go into the whole world and to preach the Gospel to every living creature. (Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:19-20)
