Living In Christ
Living in Christ seems at times as far away and unobtainable as winning
the lottery. The cold hard truth is that Life in Christ is
unobtainable as long as we try to earn our way in. We must realize
that we are already in. We keep ourselves from experiencing this life
due to our own guilt and condemnation. Guilt and condemnation do not come
from God, they are of our own imaginations and of the enemy.
If you believe God answers prayers, then you must KNOW He
answers the prayers of His begotten Son, Jesus. Jesus
prayed these words for us, shortly before His crucifixion.
Jesus prays on behalf of His
disciples and those who believe through their teachings.
That's you and me!
One of my favorite phrases in the Bible is "I in them
and You in Me..." There is no other way for me to
live a life worthy of His calling. There is no
other way to show the world, that we are children of
God.
A true, Biblical lifestyle, must start here. "I in
them and You in me..." Our ministry: "so the world
may believe that You sent Me."

John17:20-24 "I do not ask on behalf of these alone,
but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may
all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also
may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
The glory which You have given Me I
have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are
one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be
perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You
sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.
Father, I desire that they also, whom
You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they
may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved
Me before the foundation of the world..."

Can you imagine God looking Jesus in the eyes and saying "No, son, I
can't answer this prayer, because (your name here) isn't worthy, so you
died for nothing?"
Absolutely not. None of us are worthy, but we are Living In
Christ, per His request, made on our behalf, almost 2000 years ago.
Simply receive the gift and rest. Take
your seat! This is the beginning of the end of your
struggles.
Now that I have taken my seat in the heavenly places,
Living in Christ, I can
learn to walk.
