What a blessed day!

What a blessed day. In fact this must be said about every day I have in Christ. I quite often fail to appropriate all that is mine in Christ on a daily basis and the result of that is my flesh then has a heyday. I get grumpy, defeated, etc. when in fact with the life of Jesus Christ as my life I should never allow such things to rule my life. Here’s the truth of this matter, it’s found in Col.3:3-4 “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Imagine, Christ living in me! WOW! That is as true as John 3:16 and yet so many days go by without even acknowledging this wonderful reality in the hearts and minds of so many believers. The very life of Christ is our life. Rom.5:10 “For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, how much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” Here is a statement from the book, THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS, by Ian Thomas, “To be in Christ, that is redemption, but for Christ to be in you, that is sanctification. To be in Christ, that makes you fit for heaven, but for Christ to be in you, that makes you fit for earth. To be in Christ, that changes your destination, but for Christ to be in you, that changes your destiny. The one makes heaven your home, the other makes this world His workshop.”
Let’s be sure to learn to die to ourselves and allow this wonderful reality to be evident in our lives, every day. WHAT A BLESSED DAY!
