Is it sufficient to call ourselves „Christians“? Maybe you asked yourself if your really are the believer the Bible talks about. God has a vision about us. The biblical definition of believer is: to be „in Christ“ (Ephesians 1:3,11); we are alive with Christ, we sit with Him in heavenly places Ephesians 2:5-6); we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for possession (1. Peter 2:9); we are the dwelling place of God in Spirit (Ephesians 2:22). The personal experience seems that our actions are more inspired by our earthly nature than the heavenly one. To know that we are „in Christ“ is not enough to influence the activities, attitudes and desires of the believer. When God is looking at the believers He sees them as they really are. He sees them as „holy“, „sons“, „priests“, He sees their natural character, but He sees also their old and sinful human nature that causes the continuous fight. Imperfect, corrupted, but „saints“! What is important for Gor? God gives absolute importance to work of Christ, His virtue, His perfection, His submission. Jesus is the reason of our salvation, our submission to God is an effect. When God call us „saints“ He sees the final result – perfect and assured. He sees the end already at the beginning. God considers us „saints“ or „perfect“ because He has a global vision of us, from the beginning till the end (Colossians 1:15-27) Believers can be considered righteous and saved only because the Christ did really died for them. Satan uses the accusations, determents, deceptions, but it doesn´t change that we are redeemed. The sin can´t dominate a believer any longer because Christ defeated the sin (Romans 3:23, Acts 1:3, 1. Corinthians 15:3-8, Romans 5:18-19). The sinful works have to be interrupted and also substitute by good works. His power in us can change the bad in good (Ephesians 4:25,29, 1. Peter 3:9, Galatians 5:16-26, 3. John 11, 1 John 3:1-3, 3:9-10).
Did Jesus know the plan of God? Becoming a man, Jesus accepted all limits of the human nature. He learned from the human limits (John 1:3). Christ accepted to limit His divine privilege to get teachings from personal experience. From His childhood He had to submit to the discipline. (Philliphians 2:6-8, John 5:19-30). By personal experience He learned that a man is subject to any kind of pressure and also that the natural desires can lead a person to react in contradiction with God´s will (Luke 4:1-4) Christ limited voluntarily Himself to experience in fullness the human nature. Christ learned growing up step by step. He grew full of wisdom (Luke 2:40); He grew in stature and grace (Luke 2:52, 2:41-42). Jesus served God also respecting the authority of His earthly parents (Luke 2:41-51). The knowledge of Jesus-man grew according to the laws that God established for the human nature. He „knew“ His mission since His earliest age but He had to mature to complete it. Who knows the will of God have to mature to complete it. Christ learned by prayer. The prayer was for Jesus the tool of communication with Father. Christ submitted Himself under the discipline of prayer. The prayer is not a practice particularly easy and rarely can avail to help our desires of flash (Matthew 26:39, Luke 22:44, Matthew 26:40-41). By prayer Christ learned to depend on Father (Luke 6:12-16, John 17, Luke 3:21:22, Mark 9:19, 28-29, John 11:38-44). Jesus learned that the prayer is an effective and secure tool of communication with God. Jesus learned also from His own experience. His purpose was to participate the human nature without rejecting the holiness. Word of God is sufficient to get victory over the temptation (Luke 4:1-13, Genesis 25:27-34, Exodus 16:1-3, Hebrew 4:15). By His suffering He learned to be obedient (Hebrew 5:8, 12:2)
