In Christ The Signature Of The Father

In Christ the signature of the father
“In Christ, The Signature of the Father” by Rev. Dr. Abel Damina is a powerful teaching focused on the revelation of Christ as the complete expression and authority of God the Father. In this message, Dr. Damina emphasizes the following key points:
1. Christ as God’s Signature:
The concept of a “signature” symbolizes authenticity, approval, and authority. In Christ, God has placed His ultimate stamp of approval, declaring Him as the full representation of His nature and will. Scriptures like Hebrews 1:3 support this, stating that Christ is the “express image” of God’s person.
2. The Revelation of the Father:
Jesus said in John 14:9, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.” This underscores that Christ is not separate from the Father but the visible manifestation of the invisible God. Everything about God’s nature and purpose is revealed in Christ.
3. Authority in Christ:
Just as a signature on a document validates and gives it authority, Christ embodies the authority of the Father. Believers who are in Christ operate under this divine authority (Matthew 28:18-20).
4. The Gospel of Grace:
Dr. Damina often emphasizes that understanding Christ as the signature of the Father leads to a deeper appreciation of the grace of God. The finished work of Christ on the cross validates the believer’s salvation and eternal relationship with God.
5. Identity in Christ:
The teaching often draws believers to see themselves in Christ, understanding that their identity is rooted in Him. As He is the Father’s signature, so believers carry His mark and authority in the world.
