Good morning glorious ones in whom is all God’s delight!

When you confessed Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life and truly believed it, you inherited all of the promises you read about in the Bible.  Living in God’s Word brings you under the umbrella of His protection, so that you lack for nothing.  When you begin to live in Him, it is NO ORDINARY LIFE, but a life infused with His power and strength that helps you accomplish what the world says is impossible. Abiding in His Word makes you one with Him in the same way that branches are one with the vine.

On a spiritual level, Jesus is our High Priest in heaven.  Hebrews 4:14 (Amp) says,

• Inasmuch then as we have a great High Priest Who has [already] ascended and passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession [of faith in Him].

This is our confession of faith:

1. Through Jesus, we are God’s handiwork.  [Jesus’ good works should dictate how we behave in our Christian walk] (see Ephesians 2:10).

2. Jesus was made to take away our sins and actually become sin itself, although He was sinless, so that we could be made the righteousness of God in Him (see 2 Corinthians 5:21).

3. There is no condemnation for those who walk in the Spirit and are in Christ Jesus.  It’s only when we are in Him that we are able to get out of the flesh (see Romans 8:1).

4. Also, being in Christ gives us the same gifts that He has, which include wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption (see 1 Corinthians 1:30).

5. Through Him, we rule in life and receive God’s overflowing, unmerited favor.  This is what Romans 5:17 says.

Praise God, because by abiding in God’s Word and living in Christ Jesus, this is NO ORDINARY LIFE!

Living in Him,
