In Christ

Remain in Me and I will remain in you… (John 15) Without Jesus, I can do nothing. My efforts and striving towards righteousness in my own feeble efforts will get me nowhere. But I know that Jesus Christ, the hope of glory, dwells in me. I am in Christ because I have been crucified with Christ, adopted as His daughter, and brought into the very near presence of Abba Father. I have counted the cost, repented and turned from the ways of my flesh, and have been possessed by the all-consuming burning fire of the Holy Spirit. Jesus purchased everything I need for life and godliness on the cross. I have full confidence in this because it is in His Word. He said it and He cannot lie. I cling to His promises and claim my inheritance.

We must be in Christ to get to the Father. Jesus is the only way, the only truth, and the only life. His truth is found in His Word. He is unchanging, always has been, always will be. He is the solid rock upon which we stand and will not be shaken. He is our help in times of need. He is with us, and if we cry out to Him in our conviction and turn from our sins into alignment with Him, not because we can get something out of it but simply because He is worthy, then we have the privilege of entering into partnership with the Living God. May the Lamb who was slain receive the reward of His suffering. He is worthy of it all. Jesus, move on hearts to cry out to you for deliverance and face the sin in our life and be rid of it and be filled with Your Spirit and walk in Christ and love your ways because they are the only way to Life. Come Lord Jesus.
