Christ is King of kings

Hello brothers and sisters,
Peace be with you all,

My name is Hayden, from Melbourne in Victoria.
A bit about myself:
I've been a Christian for about 3 years now. God has been faithful.
I have interests in reformed theology and doctrine, apologetics, and of course scripture.
In my spare time I enjoy running, listening to Christian rap music, hymns, and reading.

A brief testimony:
God saved me from my drifting boat directed to hell. I was a inappropriate content-addict, a partygoer, and disobedient to those in authority.
My conversion experience was profound. I was possessed by a demon but thankfully my father who was with me at the time (a Christian) had the gift of exorcism (if that were a gift, if not that-- healing).

By God's grace he cast out the spirit and since I've been free from inappropriate content-addiction and my old sinful life.

I look forward to engaging in loving discussion with you all.

Yes indeed how best glorify Him you reckon?

i think it is loving Him and all others true, and the household of God with special love.

I reckon through the active and passive obedience of Christ. This best glorifies God! Not that he needs more glory.

it's no disappointment to have such strong convictions and principles. to have such glory for god is something important to understand. while lucifer attacks, God's organization defends and protects the faithful as i once learned to keep awareness for christianity for myself. i like embracing higher prayer skillsets and such not for competition but for self growth and to raise awareness for myself for christian lessons. i understand for christians-belief is power. it is true...where your faith and convictions are determines one's prowess in will. peace to you new member and may you enjoy these forums.
it is up to each of us where we try to find our sanctuary.

Mclachlan · Oct 11, 2021

Thanks for the welcome. Admin permitting, I'd like to briefly address some of the stuff you say.

what do you mean by this?

KybeKyneKane said:

No, God's Spirit is power not our belief in God.

19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
Eph 1:19-21

No. God finds us and brings us to his sanctuary.

3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
John 10.3-5, ESV

14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.
John 10:14-16, ESV

4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:

“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,

a cornerstone chosen and precious,

and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

7 So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,

“The stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone,”

8 and

“A stone of stumbling,

and a rock of offense.”

They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

1 Pet 2.4-9, ESV

I understand that you are a seeker. What do you seek after?

And what is the obedience of God? What does obedience to Jesus look like you reckon?

Our new and resurrected life with the indwelling Spirit, created in Christ for good works.

This word comes to mind when i hear you say that. (You get that?)

Isaiah 61
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendour.

They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.
Strangers will shepherd your flocks;
foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
And you will be called priests of the Lord,
you will be named ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth of nations,
and in their riches you will boast.

Instead of your shame
you will receive a double portion,
and instead of disgrace
you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit a double portion in your land,
and everlasting joy will be yours.

“For I, the Lord, love justice;
I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
In my faithfulness I will reward my people
and make an everlasting covenant with them.
Their descendants will be known among the nations
and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”

I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness
and praise spring up before all nations.
