Good morning complete ones!

You are a COMPLETE and TOTAL individual IN CHRIST.  There never has been and never will be another individual just like you!  Psalm 139:14 (NKJV) says,

  • I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

When you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, God brought you into existence by His creative power.  You were born of the Spirit of God.  A seed was sown in your heart – the incorruptible seed of the Word of God and you were placed IN CHRIST JESUS.  1 Peter 1:23 says,

  • Having been born again, not of curruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the Word of God which lives and abides forever…

I want to exhort you about the reality of BEING IN CHRIST JESUS.  It’s an outstanding revelation from God’s Word that will affect your thinking, your believing, your actions, and your speech.  Ephesians 2:13 (ESV) says,

  • But now IN CHRIST JESUS you who once were far off and have been brought near by the blood of Christ…

When?  NOW!  When are you IN CHRIST JESUS?  The moment you make Jesus your Lord.  Also, I want to encourage you about WHO is IN CHRIST JESUS?  Ephesians 1:10 (NKJV) says,

  • …that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things IN CHRIST, both which are in heaven and which are on earth – IN HIM.

So, it’s not just those who have died and gone to heaven that we are IN CHRIST JESUS.  I’ve found that the most effective way to develop the REALITY of BEING IN CHRIST is to begin with the book of Romans and search through all the letters of the New Testament for the phrase, “IN CHRIST”. For example, we read in 2 Corinthians 5:17,

  • Therefore, if I any man be IN CHRIST, he is a new creation.

All the Scriptures that say, “IN HIM”, “IN CHRIST”, “IN WHOM”, highlight them and confess them ~ they belong to YOU because YOU are NOW IN CHRIST JESUS!

So what does BEING IN CHRIST JESUS mean to you?  It means that you are the saved, the healed, and the delivered.

To conclude, Colossians 2:10 (NLT) says this to you,

  • So YOU also are COMPLETE THROUGH YOUR UNION WITH CHRIST, Who is the head over every ruler and authority.

Be blessed because you are COMPLETE IN CHRIST!

Praising God for Jesus,
