Lesson 1: "Who am I in Christ?" - Grace

In March 27, 2010, we started our 1st lessons using the book “Who am I in Christ?” In Spanish, “Quien soy en Cristo?” written by our own Apostle: Jose Zapico and Prophet: Lidia Zapico.

In order for us to understand who we are in Christ, we must first understand the gift of grace! Fortunately, the gift of Grace is FREE! Grace is defined as the free and unmerited favor or beneficence of God. It is also defined as a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine grace.

Romans 5:15 says “But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!"
So there it is, because of Jesus Christ, we have received grace. Therefore, if we have accepted Jesus Christ, we have received grace and thereby we can now begin to understand who we are in Him.

Before the meeting was over, we were asked a series of multiple questions to meditate: Before accepting Christ, when asked who we were, how did we respond? What about after accepting Christ? Do we define ourselves by our job titles/positions? family last names? Obtained degrees? Or functions in church? Etc. If so, then we don’t know who we are in Christ!

Knowing who we are in Christ goes beyond all those things; it even goes beyond just saying what the Word of God says about us, but about LIVING AND WALKING like He tells us to.

So, who are we in Christ? Well, you need to come to our next meeting and join Ruben as he helps us understand who we are in Him!
