💁🏻 Concept: ImputationTo impute means to credit something to someone’s account. In the Bible, God imputes Christ’s righteousness to us, meaning He considers us righteous because of what Jesus has done, not because of our own works. Similarly, Adam’s sin is imputed to all of humanity, meaning we inherit a sinful nature. However, in Christ, the righteousness of God is credited to us, and our sins are forgiven. This divine transaction is the foundation of our justification.
📖 Bible Readings: Romans 4:3(Romans 4:1-8; Hebrews 10:14; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:19; Philippians 3:9; Galatians 3:13; Isaiah 53:6)
👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. Our righteousness is not earned, but imputed. 2. Our sins are covered by the blood of Christ.3. Our obedience is a result of faith in God.
💪🏼 Applications:1. Rest in the imputed righteousness of Christ. 2. Rejoice that our righteousness comes by faith.3. Remain obedient as evidence of faith in Christ. 
🎙Discussion:Why is positional holiness always followed by practical holiness? 
🙏🏼 Prayer:Lord, thank You for the incredible gift of imputed righteousness. Though I am unworthy, You have credited Christ’s perfect righteousness to my account. I stand before You, not by my own merit, but by the grace of Jesus. Help me to live in the freedom that comes from knowing my sins are forgiven and I am made righteous in Christ. May I never take this gift for granted, but live in humble gratitude, sharing the hope of this good news with others. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Personal View:
Agree: I agree that Christ’s return is imminent in the sense that we do not know the exact date of His return.Disagree: I disagree, however, that Christ’s return could happen at any moment.

Strengthen my heart to live faithfully, even in the midst of uncertainty. May I use my time wisely, serving You and others, so that when You return, I will hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Fill me with hope and joy, knowing that Christ’s return will bring all things to completion and restore all things. Until then, help me to keep my eyes fixed on You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: ImmanentTo say that God is immanent means that He is not distant or detached from His creation. God is actively present in every part of the universe and especially in the lives of His people. His presence is not far off; He is involved, near, and working within the world to accomplish His purposes. He is both transcendent (beyond creation) and immanent (within creation)—a God who is both with us and beyond us.

In my struggles, let me remember that You are working in ways I cannot always see. Help me to live in constant awareness of Your presence and to trust that You are always at work for my good and Your glory. Strengthen my heart and give me peace, knowing that You are immanent, in every moment, with me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: Image of GodBeing made in the image of God means that every human being reflects something of God’s character—we are rational, moral, creative, relational, and spiritual.

In Christ, we are being renewed to once again bear that image more clearly.
📖 Bible Readings: Genesis 1:26-27(Psalm 8:4-6; Colossians 3:10; Ephesians 4:24; James 3:9; Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 3:18; James 4:6; Matthew 23:12; Philippians 2:3; Romans 12:16; Exodus 23:6; Leviticus 19:15; Proverbs 17:15)

🙏🏼 Prayer:Creator God, thank You for making me in Your image. Though sin has distorted who I was meant to be, I praise You that through Christ, I am being made new. Help me to see the dignity You have placed in every person, including myself. Teach me to reflect Your love, purity, and justice in my words and actions. Let Your Spirit shape me into the likeness of Christ more and more each day. May I live with confidence and compassion, knowing I was made to represent You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: Hypostatic UnionThe hypostatic union is the mystery and majesty of Christ being fully God and fully man in one person—without confusion, change, division, or separation. Jesus did not lose His divinity when He took on humanity, nor did He become less human because He was God. In one glorious person, the fullness of God and man dwell together. This union makes Jesus our perfect Mediator—able to represent God to us and us to God. He understands our weakness, yet has the power to save.
1. God can save but cannot die.2. Man can die but cannot save. 3. Jesus is truly God and truly man—able both to die and save.

You are able to save completely and to sympathize deeply. I worship You as the God who knows my pain and the Lord who reigns with power. Help me to never lose the wonder of who You are.

💁🏻 Concept: Humiliation of ChristThe humiliation of Christ refers to the lowly and sacrificial path He willingly took—His incarnation, suffering, death, and burial. Though fully God, He chose to stoop low, becoming human, enduring rejection, and dying on a cross. He did this not because He had to, but because He loved us. His humiliation is not defeat—it is the very road to our salvation. Through His suffering, we find peace. Through His death, we find life.

💪🏼 Applications:1. Repudiate any sense of entitlement. 2. Place yourself in the position of Jesus.3. Prevent conflict by adopting Christ-like humility.
🎙Discussion:How does Christ’s willingness to suffer and be humiliated influence your own willingness to choose the humble path?
🙏🏼 Prayer:Lord Jesus, please forgive me for being prideful. You who are King of kings chose the path of suffering for my sake. You did not cling to heaven’s glory but came down, bore my sins, and endured the cross. Thank You for Your unmatched humility and sacrificial love. When I feel pride rise, remind me of Your example. When I suffer, remind me You walked that road first. Help me to live not for comfort but for Your glory. Teach me to serve, to sacrifice, and to follow You with all my heart. Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: Historical TheologyHistorical theology studies how believers across the centuries have understood God’s truth. It connects us to the rich heritage of faith—from the early church fathers to the reformers, from ancient creeds to modern confessions.

This discipline reminds us that we are not isolated but part of a global, timeless body of Christ that, despite differences, seeks to know and glorify the same God.

💪🏼 Applications:1. Agree to disagree in love. 2. Be gracious in non-essential doctrines.3. Commit to the essential doctrines of the faith.

🙏🏼 Prayer:Gracious Father, forgive us when we lose sight of love and grace while fighting over doctrines. Teach us to agree to disagree in love, to be gracious in the non-essentials, and to stand firm in the essentials of the faith. Help us see the beauty of unity in the midst of diversity. Keep us from pride, protect us from division, and lead us to pursue true unity—one that honors Christ and builds up His church. May we be faithful in preserving the core truths of the gospel and pass them on with love to the next generation. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: HeavenHeaven is the place where God most fully reveals His glorious presence. It is the home of God, the dwelling place of angels and the spirit of redeemed saints, where worship is unceasing and joy is full. Yet, heaven is not our final home but the temporary dwelling of believers awaiting the resurrection. The final destiny of Christians is a renewed creation where God dwells with His people bodily, His will is perfectly done, joy never ends, and every tear is wiped away. For Christians, our true and final home is not escape from the world, but the restoration of all things in Christ.

🙏🏼 Prayer:Lord God, thank You for the promise of heaven. Thank You that one day I will dwell in Your presence, free from pain, sin, and sorrow. Help me to fix my eyes not on the temporary struggles of this life but on the eternal joy that awaits me. Let heaven shape my values, my goals, and my relationships.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
