Nime Jesu - Inside Christ

Living in Christ is a beautiful thing. In him, we find something which the world cannot offer - Perfect peace.

Soso nime Jesus kanyi nwere ike inwe udo. Only in Christ can a soul find rest, only in him can we find life, yes, the true meaning of life. When he says, "I am the Life", he really meant it.

We are in a world influenced by a lot of evil and ordinarily man cannot overcome such evil without grace from God. Now God provides us that grace that can save us from the world's evil, when we live in Christ.

Abide in me and I in you so that you may bear fruit. Those were the words of Jesus in the gospel according to John. It is when we live in him, by abiding in his words that we can really have true life. It is in Christ that we can have live forever. In him can we obtain a taste of everlasting joy.

How does one live in Christ? Kedu etu anyi ya esi biri nime Jesu? It's simple - Obeying his word. When we believe and act according to his word, then we are living in him.

When you are in Christ, you have overcome sin and even when you sin, he urges us to still believe in forgiveness, the constant forgiveness of God. Some Christians have started doubting the mercy of God and when you start doing so, you are going away from the way.
God is so rich that he can keep on forgiving us even till the end of the world so never doubt God's mercy. God wants us to be saved by all means even if we have to be dragged by grace to heaven.

There is no really no reason why anyone should be lost unless that person has simply rejected God's mercy and grace.
St Paul reminds us, his grace is sufficient for us. This is because he who has power to forgive us our sin also has power to preserve us from sin. We should grow from just asking God for mercy after we sin and start asking God for grace so that we may not sin. Many people try to enter heaven only by their physical effort without looking unto the real Effort. God is that effort and when we accept that Truth, then Christ lives in us and we are already saved.

Onye biri nime Jesu, oga enwe ndu ebighi ebi. He who lives in Christ will live forever because of Grace. God is too riche for us to remain poor so it's best to start asking for spiritual gifts more often than we ever have.
