Devo #12 One Faith: We Believe in Jesus Christ

Fred's Devo #12: One Faith: "Jesus Christ, Fully Human and Fully Divine"

As we continue on the topic of one faith, from Ephesians 4: 5, the fourth plank of the InterVarsity basis of faith is:

"We believe in Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine, who lived as a perfect example who assumed the

judgement due sinners by dying in our place, and who was bodily raised from the deand and ascended as Savior

and Lord."

Phillipians 2:6-11 (NLT) makes it plain:

6"You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.

⁷ Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
⁸ he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

⁹ Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
¹¹ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father."

Prayer: Jesus thank you for humbling yourself in order to come to earth in the form of a man to save me!

Help me to follow your example and walk a life obedience and Christian humility.

In Jesus Name, Amen.
