Jesus Saved Me Part V

As I begin to list the things that God has provided for us "in Christ", I want you to remember that as we renew our minds to who we are in Christ we will become like what the Word of God tells us we are.

“I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, hearing of your love and faith, which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; that the communication (sharing, fellowship) of your faith may become effectual (effective, active, powerful) by the acknowledging (to become fully acquainted with, knowledge) of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” (Philemon 1:6)

By the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus, the communication of your faith may become effectual (effective, active, powerful).


I John 3:23 says, " And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of HIs Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment." From the above we can tell using I John 3:23 that Philemon was a mature Christian because of his love and faith toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints. We will mature as we renew our mind to whom we are in Christ.
