In reading the Word of God it is easy to pass right over treasures that are hidden in plain sight. I'm referring to two words in today's title scripture of 2 Corinthians 5:17; in Christ. I could read right past those and never know the depth of meaning contained in them. So today we are going to explore some of those treasures.
In Christ everything about us before Him is gone, the new has come, so quit looking in the rear view mirror. Get on with your life in Christ.
We can be proud of our work for God once we realize that Christ within us is the one who is accomplishing His work through us! We are just the vessel.
Christ has anointed us, put His seal on us and given to us His Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee of our eternal life with Christ!
We have true freedom in Christ.
We are justified before God by our faith in Christ Jesus.
In Christ we have every, yes, every spiritual blessing!
We are adopted into the family of God through Christ.
In Christ we are redeemed through His blood, He poured out beyond measure His grace when He revealed to us the mystery of His will for us, that is found in and through Christ.
In Christ we have an inheritance waiting for us that is so wonderful, God said we could never ever imagine or even think of what that means! What we do know is that everything God does is good and everything He gives is over the top, lavish!!
The same power that was worked in Christ when He was raised from the dead is the immeasurable greatness of His power toward us, His adopted children. Let that get a hold of you!
We were created in Christ Jesus, we are the work of His hands, and He has prepared for each one of us good works! Wow! He even planned our work that He would enable us to do before we ever drew our first breath. In Him we live and move and have our being.
In Christ we were brought near by His blood, He is our peace, and through Him we have access to the Father. Peace with God!
2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 15:17-18, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, Galatians 2:4,16, Ephesians 1:3,5,7-8,14,19-20, Ephesians 2:10,13-14,18.
May we never skip over "in Him" casually again. Aren't you thrilled to be in Christ?
