AN IMPORTANT THOUGHT AND TRUTH FOR TODAY
Here is a thought for today, and I pray it may be a blessing to you.
I am reminded of the old hymn “Tell me the old old story” which contains the words
TELL ME THE STORY OFTEN FOR I FORGET SO SOON.
The Apostle Paul tells us is Eph.1:3 PASSION 3 Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts!
The moment we were born again, is was not just getting our sins forgiven, and knowing we have an eternal home in heaven, but included in our Salvation was this glorious fact.
WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN CHRIST.
This is all part of our INHERITANCE IN CHRIST NOW, Eph.1:11 this confirms why Biblical Discipleship is so essential, as we very soon become aware that we still have a sinful nature, and need to know how in every temptation there is a way out without yielding to sin. 1 Cor. 10:13.
Paul is clearly spelling out our NEW POSITION IN CHRIST, and through Biblical Discipleship and our reading and meditating on the Word of God, and being committed to a local church we can learn the PERSONAL SPIRITUAL REALITY OF THIS AWESOME TRUTH.
By the Grace of God, and our continued submission to the Lord and embracing and obeying the Word of God, we can move to that awesome place of holiness, and victory over sin.
Let us not use our sinful nature as an excuse, or the environment we live in for our failures, but let us co-operate with the Word of God, and declare again with Paul in Rom.8:37 We are MORE THAN CONQUERORS, through Him. I am not preaching sinless perfection, just what is clearly written in the WILL with our name written all over it,
WE ARE NOT JUST CONQUERORS, BUT MORE than conquerors.
If you don’t have someone Discipling you, quickly seek out a Disciplemaker to walk with you., and the day will come when you will disciple others and see them walking in victory.
“Lord help us to lay hold of our inheritance NOW, and that our life shows forth more and more of Your beauty and Your blessing on our lives”.
