Christ in you...what does that mean to you? What are the implications within that truth? Truth, if indeed you have been born again, through a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Truth, if you have believed in Jesus Christ to have your sins forgiven, if you surrendered your life to Him. If you have confessed with your mouth Jesus is Lord and you believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, then according to the truth of God's Word you are saved! When a baby is born, we rejoice at this birth knowing it is the beginning of his or her life here on earth. In the same way when we are born again our life in Christ, Christ within us, it is just the beginning!
Christ in you means that your old life is over, you were crucified with Christ and it is no longer you who live, but Christ lives in you and the life that you now live in the flesh you live by faith in the Son of God who loves you and gave His life for you. Galatians 2:20.
Christ in you means that you will never face a storm that will overcome you, you will never face an enemy that is stronger than Christ, you will never ever be alone again! Christ in you means on the darkest of days the Light of the World is within you, when you don't know what to do or where to turn, look within to the One who embodies Wisdom, the One who directs your steps! God is for you, who or what can ever prevail against God to harm you? No one and nothing!
In those times when it feels as though the world is caving in all around you, look to , Jesus, focus your mind and thoughts on Jesus words; "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have perfect peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer (take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted!) For I have overcome the world. (I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.)" John 16:33 Amplified.
Christ in you means you have the Source of wisdom, the Prince of Peace, the Wonderful Counselor, and Almighty God! What can you think of that you lack? Nothing!
The most amazing thing is that, in Christ we who were once separated from God because of our sins have been washed clean, sins forgiven through the shed blood of the Lamb of God; Christ Jesus and we now have access into the very throne room of grace. We have peace with God in and through Jesus Christ!!
Until you understand what having Christ in you means, you don't yet know Him as you ought. You will never know Jesus better than you know the Word of God! Begin today to read God's Word every morning, meditate on it and obey it and in doing so you will grow in the wisdom and knowledge of Jesus Christ, and in the wisdom and knowledge of His will! That is the abundant life; Christ in you!!!
