The Life Of
Christ In You
And this is the record, that God hath given to
us eternal life, and this life is in his Son
(1 John 5:11).
It's not a promise, but a statement of fact-a
present moment reality-that God has given us
life, and that this life is in His Son. 1John 5:12 says, "He
that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the
Son of God hath not life." God is definite as to where
this life is and how to get it: It's in the Son. Anyone
who has the Son of God has this life.
There's something about this life of Christ in you;
it makes you invincible and indomitable. In John 10:10,
the Lord Jesus said the reason He came was to give
us this supernatural life of God. 1John 3:8 further tells
us why this life was manifested unto us: "...For this
purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might
destroy the works of the devil." What this means is
that the life of Christ in you will destroy, paralyze and
render useless the works of the devil in your life, in
your family, in your finances and in your job. You have
no reason to be afraid of anything in life.
Romans 8:10 says, "And if Christ be in you, the
body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life
because of righteousness." In other words, if you
have the life of Christ in you, it doesn't matter what
may have gone wrong in your physical body, it will
come alive because of righteousness. Though your
body may be dead, broken, or crushed because of
sin, the Spirit gives it life because of righteousness.
Even if your body were broken with HIV, it makes no
difference; this verse alone should make you well and
change your destiny.
A pensive study of Colossians 1:26-27 reveals
that the life of Christ in you has been God's dream
through the ages. It says, "Even the mystery which
hath been hid from ages and from generations, but
now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God
would make known what is the riches of the glory
of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ
in you, the hope of glory." Christ in you is your hope
of victory over all of life's challenges and the negative
system of this world.
