LIVING IN CHRIST

Colossians 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 

Man is incomplete without Jesus; a relationship without love is on the verge of separation because it is the bond that binds two together to become one. Our relationship with Jesus is the bond that binds us together with God. Having the full knowledge of your salvation will put the devil perpetually under your feet. Many are born again, but they have no knowledge of their salvation, and the devil continues to take advantage of their ignorance, but today will mark the end of all his operations in your life, in Jesus' name. It is very important to know what we are doing and why. People often take a lackadaisical approach towards things they don't know. The reason for the teaching priest in the Old Testament is for them to teach the people and give them understanding of the law of God (Jeremiah 3:15). 

As believers, our confidence comes from our awareness that Christ is in us and that we are incomplete without him. It assures us of our future. The boldness of the disciples of Jesus comes from the consciousness of who they are in Christ. 

Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

The death and the resurrection of Christ are the best things that have ever happened to humanity; without them, our Christian journey will be in vain. His death and resurrection are the symbols of our salvation. For a man to be born again, the old man needs to die so that a new man can emerge. Giving our lives to Christ is our willingness to surrender and let the old man die so that the new man, which is the form Christ can live.  Flesh and blood are what make a man a physical being, and Christ said that for us to live in him, we need to eat and drink his blood. It signifies complete transformation

John 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

Our eternity is guaranteed because he lives in us; our hope of a glorious future is guaranteed because he lives in us. Christ in us is our hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). Without Christ, we have nothing to glory in; our uniqueness comes from the understanding of our oneness with Christ. Because we live in Him, whatever makes him uncomfortable automatically makes us uncomfortable, and that is why those who are truly living in Christ can never be comfortable with sin. 

People keep looking for something to satisfy a craving that they don't know how to describe; they want to fill the void, the emptiness they feel, and that is why they get into addiction, because they know something is missing, but they can't just figure it out. It is the nature of man to feel emptiness because a void was created during the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. That void is what Jesus Christ came to fill, and if you are not in Christ, you will continue to look for how to fill that gap. I have good news for you, search no more because Christ in you is your hope of a glorious future. Having great possessions and riches does not make a complete man or woman. The rich man who came to Jesus had everything except the decision to follow Jesus. He could not make that decision, and that was the only thing lacking in his life.  

Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

After God created Adam, he breathed his breath upon him, and he became a living being; when he disobeyed God, the Spirit of God left him. What you need is the joy of salvation and the peace of God which passeth all understandings through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7); that is why Christ is called the prince of peace. The Gospel is called the gospel of peace. Friends, your decision to embrace Jesus will fill you with the joy of salvation, which has the power to destroy any craving and addiction or any other immoral behaviour. Those things can only give temporary relief, but the real solution is Christ in your life. He said I am life, the truth, and in him you will find comfort. He is the only trusted ally you can have in this journey of life. That part of you that is missing is Jesus. Ask him to come into your life today and fill every space that needs to be filled. If you are ready to do that, please quickly pray the salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus' name.

Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and accept You as my Lord and Saviour. I believe you died for me so that I could become a new man/woman. Forgive me all my sins, wash me with your blood, and give me a new heart. Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. Now I believe I am born again. And I am a child of God. Amen!
