WHERE YOU ARE AT IN CHRIST
Eph. 1:1 This letter is from Paul, chosen by God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus.
Sometimes we need to be reminded of our position in Christ. We take for granted this wonderful relationship we have with our Lord. Let us pause for a few moments today to just think about these things.
When we let Jesus into our lives, we are positioned in Christ, God’s Anointed One. God ordained Christ to be the sacrifice for our sins before the foundation of the world was ever laid. God did not provide any other way for us to be saved. Only Christ is worthy of God’s honor. God anointed Christ for His sacred office and role in our lives.
We are positioned in Jesus. In the Old Testament, He was known as Jehovah, which means avenger, liberator. Jesus is the one who saves us from our sins. He sets us free from all that keeps us away from God. He once for all broke the death grip sin had over us. He is our Savior. He, and He alone has the power, authority, and right to declare us free from sin’s grip.
We are in Christ Jesus: God’s anointed Son who sets us free!
Has Jesus set you free from all that hinders you from knowing God as your Heavenly Father? Is God more to you than some vague reality? Can you honestly say that God is the influencer of your life, that He has a profound impact on who you are and how you live?
Has Jesus set you free from your worries and fears? Are you able to live your life resting in His peace that never goes away? Are you trusting in His goodness regardless of what circumstances you find yourself in?
Has Jesus set you free from your loneliness? Are you aware that He is with you all the time? Do you sense His presence daily? Do you talk to Him often? Do you tell Him that you are glad He is with you and loves you?
Has Jesus set you free from the attachments and desires of this world? Are you living for Jesus, or the things that the world offers you?
Jesus, God’s Son, has come to set you free, and when He sets you free, you are free indeed! John 8:32,37
