Odd title I guess but once you read the listing you will understand why. The purpose of this post is for you to understand your potential in Christ greater. You are what God says you are!
Sure I think we could all pick out a superhero that we might like to be like. But the real superhero is Jesus Christ. He is the one the Christian should desire to emulate. But now we are ahead of ourselves.
Superman did not conform to this world but to the world he was from. On his home planet Krypton he was a normal every day person. On earth he was transformed into a superhero. If superman conformed to this world he would have been like everyone else.
Well how about Jesus Christ?
He did not conform to this world but he was transformed because he conformed his words and actions to what God said he was. He was a genuine superman, a true hero. He boldly confessed who he was and he acted on those confessions. He said he was light, he said he was the son of God and so much more.
Matt 27:43 ...I am the Son of God.
What are you?
John 6:48 I am that bread of life.
Do you have the manna of the Word to offer to people?
Absolutely!
John 8:12 ...I am the light of the world.
What are you?
He said he was from above, he said he was from the Father. Well how about you?
He said he is. "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
If Christ lives in you then what does that make you to the world?
They come to the Father by way of Christ living in you, you show them Christ You open the Scriptures to them by living them and speaking them forth.
When we are transformed in our minds by conforming our thoughts to who God says we are we will live out who and what we are in the heavenly realm here on earth.
Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. Think of yourself how God says you are to think.
Colossians 1:13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed (transferred, transported) us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.
You now belong to the royal kingdom of God you can be God's superman to our hurting world by being conformed to who and what God says you are.
Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
