Is Christ In You

“…if Christ be in you…” -Romans 8.10

Is He?  Sadly some people just do not know!

Yet, it is very simple: Either Christ is in us, or Christ is not in us.  We will know for sure because He will tell us!  (“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:” verse 16)

But now to this thought:  “And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.”

These bodies of flesh ARE very limited in what they can do.  But they are not limited when it comes to spiritual matters because, “if Christ be in you, the body is dead… but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.”!  Can we go to the throne room of heaven and speak to God?  Absolutely!  In fact, we can do that easier than we could ever approach a throne room here on earth.  Amazing!

How about these:  Can we love the unlovable?  Is there really a limit to our patience?  Can we have peace in the storms of life?  Can we live by faith (spirit), and not by sight (flesh)- can we?  Yes!  We can!

“And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.”  “and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”  Amen!  (Romans 8.10-12, Galatians 2.20, Philippians 4.13)

Run with patience,
