The Ekklesia Project - Episode 81

A freedman of God hosting a journey to discover the lost ekklesia of God.
In this episode, we explore in detail what it means to believe in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God. John 6:47. We observe that before the Father can give a follower to the Son, the follower must first be owned by the Father. One cannot give what one does not own. We then examine what it means when a follower is owned by the Father. We discover that the follower must be 1) born of the Spirit – John 3:5, 2) have faith that the Creator God exists and He is a rewarder of those who earnestly seek Him – Hebrews 11:6, and 3) will show the work of God’s Law written in his heart, i.e., will demonstrate works of one who loves God with all his heart and loves his neighbor as himself – Romans 2:14-16. This is one who has come to God, recognizing the Father as his shepherd – Psalm 23. Such a follower of the Father as the Great Shepherd will then be given to the Son as the Good Shepherd – John 6:37, 10:11. The follower will prove to be a true disciple of Christ by continuing in obedience of the commands of Christ – John 8:31, 15:8-11; Matthew 7:24-27; and James 1:22-25.
