SO MUCH TO ENJOY IN CHRIST

The benefits that accrue from being in Christ are so many that we’ll lose count if we’re to start counting. But for the sake of this write up we’ll dwell on one verse and that is Acts 17:28 which say;

“For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring”

The above scripture points at three major benefits that accrue to being in Christ and we will be taking them one after each.

IN CHRIST WE LIVE

Many live today both really don’t have life; Christ makes the difference. Our lives as believers are of God through Christ. Col 3:3 say;

“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God”

Born again Christians are dead to self and alive in Christ because you have been;

“...crucified with Christ: nevertheless I (you) live; yet not I (you), but Christ liveth in me (you): and the life which I (you) now live in the flesh I (you) live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me(you), and gave himself for me(you)” Gal 2:20

We can then conclude that once you give your life to Christ, you literally don’t have any right as it were on your own life. You are therefore answerable to Christ because He is your landlord. As it were you are a tenant in His house.

Finally, in Christ is the safest place to live because He is;

“...a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe” Prov 18:10

Hence, whatever or whoever wants to reach you in any way either to harm you or otherwise must first of all conquer Christ because He is both the way and the strong man whose treasure you are, Mark 3:27;

“No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house”

Also confirmed in Luke 11:21 saying;

“When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace”

Shalom!
