Today we are going to discuss how to benefit. Because the Bible does not clearly explain what benefit is and how it can be benefited, so we have to study what benefit is from the perspective of various scriptures, but we can see from the lines that benefit is actually to let Jesus Christ In this process, practicing the Way is a necessary condition, because only in this way can we fulfill all the requirements of God.

Today we are going to talk about a very basic question, what is a church, and how can we see as being in a church? When we drive on the street, we often see church buildings one after another in the city. But is this the church mentioned in the Bible? What else should be in the church? We often see young people no longer go to church after they leave their parents. Parents often worry about their spiritual condition and whether they believe in Jesus Christ can be passed on. We will discuss this issue from the perspective of the Bible.
From whatever angle we choose to view the age we live in today,

We often hear that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. When we hear this sentence, we are very happy and think that we can take the express train to heaven smoothly. But is this really the case? If we think about it carefully, we can know that the first statement that we must be in the love of Christ can be established, and if we have to continue to do follow-up work in the love of Christ, because there is something that can be compared with the love of Christ. What separates us is whether we continue to be in the love of Christ, or if we think we have it, we no longer obey God’s words, which will make us leave the love of Christ.

Victory over Sin | RCCG. Living Faith, Kassel
1. Claiming the promises of God.
2. Making the right choice.
After salvation, the deep and sincere cry of the believer should be for holiness, to be like Christ, to overcome sin and to live a blameless and holy life. Some Christians try to be holy in their own way, and when they fail in the process, become discouraged and give up wanting to be holy. They become fearful of preaching holiness. The bible teaches glorious victory over sin for every believer. 1John 5:4, John was not speaking about victory in Heaven but of victory on earth; daily victory over the world and the lusts thereof.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. Introduction:
• One of the best ways to help ourselves make
sure we are doing the right things is to ask
questions. 2 Peter 1:3,10-13
• Are you living Today with Christ?
• Let us ask some questions that can help us
to be sure that we are living with Christ today
and everyday.
3. Have you died with Him?
• We need to die to the sinful life.
Romans 6:1-7
• Rom. 6:8 “Now if we have died with
Christ, we believe that we will also live
with him.”
Today With
Christ!
4. Do you have this harmony?
• Rom. 15:5 ESV “May the God of
endurance and encouragement grant you
to live in such harmony with one another,
in accord with Christ Jesus”
• Harmony with our brethren and with Christ
to glorify God... Phil. 2:1-2; Eph. 4:3-4;
Romans 15:6
Today With
Christ!
5. Are you in His one body?
• 1 Cor. 12:12 “For just as the body is one and
has many members, and all the members of
the body, though many, are one body, so it is
with Christ.”
• You get into Christ’s one body when you obey
His gospel and are baptized. 1 Cor. 12:13
• Christ’s body is the church / kingdom!
Colossians 1:13,18, 24
Today With
Christ!
6. Does Christ live in you, because
you’ve crucified the old you?
• Gal. 2:20 ESV “I have been crucified with
Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ
who lives in me. And the life I now live in the
flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who
loved me and gave himself for me.”
• Your old worldly self is to be crucified!
Rom. 6:6; Gal. 6:14
Today With
Christ!
7. Are you alive with Christ,
or dead in sin?
• Eph. 2:5-6 “even when we were dead in
our trespasses, made us alive together
with Christ--by grace you have been saved
-- and raised us up with him…”
• We receive God’s grace when we get with
Christ (in baptism) which makes us alive
from being dead in sin. 1 Peter 3:21
Today With
Christ!
8. Have you been buried and raised
with Christ?
• Colossians 2:12-13 “having been buried
with him in baptism, in which you were also
raised with him through faith in the powerful
working of God… 13 And you, who were dead
in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of
your flesh, God made alive together with
him, having forgiven us all our trespasses”
Today With
Christ!
9. What’s your desire?
• Where do you want to be 100 years from
now?
• Phil. 1:23 “I am hard pressed between the
two. My desire is to depart and be with
Christ, for that is far better.”
• It is our future home… 2 Corinthians 5:8-9
Today With
Christ!
10. Is your old life of sin hidden?
• Col. 3:3 “For you have died, and your life
is hidden with Christ in God.”
• We are to put off (cease) the old sinful life
and put on the new righteous Christ-like
life… Ephesians 4:22-24
Today With
Christ!

• We all need to have an obedient faith and
be baptized into Christ so that we can be
children of God. Galatians 3:26-27
• Rom 8:17 and if children, then heirs-heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ,
provided we suffer with him in order that
we may also be glorified with him.
