I AM WHO I AM BECAUSE OF GOD'S GRACE!

 I AM WHO JUST WHO: GOD CREATED ME TO BE:

We are not a religion or a denomination, nor do we support the construction of physical church buildings. Instead, our mission is to build up the body of our Lord God, Jesus Christ, through love, grace, and mercy. We are dedicated to aiding, helping, and supporting the members of the Jesus Christ Royal Believers Way Saints Global Fellowship Ministries Family as they carry out ministries that serve the body of Christ and His Kingdom.

We believe that being in the Church is more than simply attending services or holding membership. We are His living temples, and He manifests His works through us as we seek to meet the needs of the Saints first, and subsequently all others, in accordance with His divine will. This is the heart and mission of the Jesus Christ Royal Believers Way Saints Global Fellowship Ministries.

We don't go, attend, join, become a member of, or have a religious church building. We are His living temples and Church, and He manifests His works through us in meeting the needs of His body, the Saints, first and then all others according to His will. This is what we are as Jesus Christ Royal Believers Way Saints Global Fellowship Ministries.

We are the Lord Jesus Christ's total body, with every member working together in love and unity, guided by the Holy Spirit and God's new and Better Way. In Matthew 5:16, Jesus says, “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”

Our loving, all-wise Heavenly Father God tends to choose and pick what our world calls nobodies and make them somebodies in the eyes of those who think they are somebodies without anybody's permission.

In 1 Corinthians 15:10, Apostle Paul writes, “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.” The word but signals an emphatic contrast between verse 9 and verse 10. In verse 9, Brother Paul regards himself as “the least of the Apostles, unworthy to be called an Apostle” ( Jesus Royal Believers ). In a sense, he is the “least” because he was the last Apostle chosen (verse, but this is not why he made the claim. He is the least because he fiercely persecuted the Church of God ( Verse 9; Acts 9:3–9; 22:6–11; 26:12–18 ). And this record of persecution against Christ and His Church made Elder Paul, in his own eyes, unworthy to be called an Apostle.

Apostle Paul is continually aware of his former sinfulness and inherent nothingness (Ephesians 3:8; 1 Timothy 1:15). Apart from Christ, he is nothing but a sinner who deserves the wrath of God. Yet God was merciful to Paul ( 1 Timothy 1:13 ), as He is to everyone ( Romans 2:4 ) ( 2 Peter 3:9 ). Teacher Paul had been a self-righteous and proud Pharisee. Now, he is an Apostle of the message that he once tried to destroy ( Galatians 1:23 ). This is why he follows his self-condemnatory assessment with the statement “but by the grace of God I am what I am” ( 1 Corinthians 15:10 ). The only reason that Elder Paul, the most unlikely of Apostles, is serving as a leader of the early Church is the grace of a loving and merciful God.

The statement I am what I am is a popular expression today that often conveys a sense of self-acceptance and self-determination. In 1 Corinthians 15:10, however, Brother Paul acknowledges that his new identity and apostolic achievements are entirely due to the grace of God working in and through him. Simply put, grace is God’s unmerited favor toward undeserving sinners. Grace is neither earned nor deserved. If grace could be earned, then it would not be grace ( Romans 11:6 ). As Ephesians 2:8–9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” The grace of God saves, empowers, and enables us to work for the glory of God ( Romans 12:1 ) ( 1 Corinthians 10:13 ) ( Ephesians 2:10 ).

There is a delicate balance between grace and human effort. Although, indeed, our identities and achievements are ultimately due to God’s grace, we are still expected to work out our salvation with fear and trembling ( Philippians 2:12 ). By the grace of God, the Apostle Paul worked harder than the other Apostles ( 1 Corinthians 15:10 ). On the surface, this sounds like self-aggrandizement, but Brother Paul gives all the glory to God (Galatians 2:20 ). The Apostle Paul knows that faithful stewardship is the only appropriate response to the grace of God. We would do well to follow Paul’s example of humble, grateful service ( 1 Corinthians 11:1 ).

The statement I am what I am emphasizes the importance of grace, humility, and perseverance. Grace is an active and continual work in the lives of God’s people. We cannot boast about who we are or what we have done, because we owe everything to God. Indeed, we are nothing and can do nothing without the grace of God. It is the grace of God that transforms sinners into saints. It is the grace of God that gives us the strength and ability to do things that we could not do on our own. And it is the grace of God that makes us effective witnesses for Him. Like the Apostle Paul, we can now say, “By the grace of God I am what I am.” In Jesus Christ. Amen.
