IN CHRIST

Michael Snyder

IN CHRIST we are children of God (1John 3:1), new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), One with God (1 Corinthians 6:17), partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4), seated with Him in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6), kings and priest (Revelation 1:6), more than conquerors (Romans 8:37), perfect (Hebrews 10:14), complete (Colossians 2:9-10), holy and without blame before Him in love (Ephesians 1:4), branches of the True Vine (John 15:1), vessels of glory (2 Corinthians 4:7), lights of the world (Matthew 5:14), temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:9), filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19) and saved to the uttermost ( Hebrews 7:25).

It is not we wanting to feel Him, or know Him, or love Him, that is still SELF wanting something---it is just HE. We lose sense of ourselves.

HE IS ! And so I just recognize Him living and working in place of me.

It is beyond feeling and desire, it is just HE. Self-improvement is both a sin and an IMPOSSIBILITY. I, as a human do not become the power or love or wisdom of God; I merely contain HIM. HE, who is ALL THESE, AND EVERYTHING.

HE has come forever to live HIS own life in me. HE is the one who thinks in my mind, sees through my eyes, wills in my will, loves in my heart, and acts through my body.

Consider these verses: "For IN HIM we live, and move, and our being: as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring." Acts 17:28. "For of HIM, and through HIM, and to HIM, are ALL THINGS: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

I am crucified WITH CHRIST: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I have lived by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20.

The sum of it all is this: CHRIST IS ALL, DOES ALL, AND RECEIVES ALL THE GLORY.
