You Are In Control Of How Long You Live In This World #4

Compare 2Cor10:7 ( your are Christ indeed) with John 10:17-18 ( Christ decides when He gives up His life)

2Cor 10:7 Give attention to the things which are before you. If any man seems to himself to be Christ's, let him keep in mind that we are as much Christ's as he is. ..........Bible In Basic English

2Cor 10:7 Ye look at the things that are before your face. If any man trusteth in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ's, so also are we............. American Standard Version

Joh 10:17 For this reason am I loved by the Father, because I give up my life so that I may take it again. Joh 10:18 No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father. Joh 10:19 There was a division again among the Jews because of these words. Joh 10:20 And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him?


Jesus is in the position of deciding when He gives his life away. No one decides for Him. ikewise, since we are as much Christ as he is, we are in position to determine when we give our life away.
Stephen exactly practice this truly...........Act 7:59 As they continued to stone Stephen, he kept praying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!".......... Stephen is as much as Christ is. Christ cried out Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit:( Luk 23:46)

Be prepared however when you share this gospel, There will be a great division again among the believers because of these words.
