BELIEVERS’ INHERITANCE IN CHRIST! - PART 3.

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SUBJECT: BELIEVERS’ INHERITANCE IN CHRIST! - PART 3.

Memory verse: "But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.” (Second Thessalonians 2 vs 13.)

READ: Ephesians 1 vs 3 - 8:

1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 

1:4: just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 

1:5: having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 

1:6: to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

1:7: In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace, 

1:8: which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence.

INTIMATION:

Now notice from the Scripture we read today that He chose us in Him way back before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish in His presence, and out of His love for us, He foreordained us into the position of sons to Himself through Jesus Christ.

Let it soak into your very being that way back, before the foundation of the world, God planned to have us. We are the product of His plan. And when the fullness of time came, He said to the great heathen world: ‘Whoever will, may come and become a member of My fore-planned family.’

On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, Let him come to Me and drink, He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7 vs 37 - 38). It is the call "If anyone thirsts,” and you have answered that call; you are a member of that holy body that can stand in His presence without the sense of guilt and condemnation. 

The apostle Paul tells us that "He has freely, by grace, made us accepted in the Beloved. It isn't done grudgingly, not scantily, but it was according to the riches (glory) of His grace. In the Beloved we have our redemption through His blood, the remission of our sins, and it is according to the very riches of His love, His glory, and the fullness of His grace.

Can you see your place now? You must glorify Him by taking your place in Christ. Never think of your worthiness, for He is your righteousness. Don't think of your ability because He is your ability. Enjoy your rights and take your place and fill His heart with joy.

As I said before, very little is known by many Christians of ”spiritual wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.” The spiritual wisdom and understanding is ours to have. And when we have it, there will never be a struggle after faith again. Your prayer life will be like that of the Master. The sense of unworthiness that comes from sin-consciousness would be destroyed in that full knowledge—that ‘exact and perfect knowledge,’ of our redemption and righteousness in Christ.

When we have grown to that fullness, into full manhood and womanhood in Christ, we are imparted with the reality of our being “delivered from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins." (Colossians 1 vs 13 - 14).

If you are then conscious of that perfect redemption from Satan's dominion, you will walk with a sureness that Jesus had in His earth walk. That sureness comes from knowing that everything you had ever done, and all that you ever were, stopped at the New Creation. All your past has stopped being, and you start anew.

Then if you make mistakes, or commit any sins, you have the intercession of Jesus. All you have to do is acknowledge your mistake or sin, confess and repent of your sin, and you obtain mercy and it is wiped out instantly, and your fellowship is restored.

Prayer: Abba Father, I am what I am in Christ by the riches of Your grace. I pray for the full revelational knowledge of my inheritance in Christ according to the good pleasure of Your Will, in Jesus’ most precious Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
