Christ In you....The Hope of Glory!!!!

Colossians 1:27 "To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

1.Because Christ is in us , we have our sins forgiven because of the shed blood at calvary.  we have such an assurance of our salvation. Ephesians 1:7 states that "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace". because christ is in us, we have our past,present and future sins forgiven because of the shed blood at calvary.  we have such an assurance of our salvation. 1st peter 3:18 states that "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit"
   
2.Because Christ is in us we no longer live in condemnation. Romans 8:1 says that " there is therefore no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus" that means that we have been forgiven and not even the devil or our past sins should condemn us "  and even today, the same message   re-echoes that Jesus is in us and he doesn't condemn us. Romans 8:33 states that  "Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies".

3. Because Christ lives in us, we have been called unto good works. Ephesians 2:10 states that "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do".


4.Christ lives in us to make us  holy and blameless Ephesians 1: 4 states that "For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.". it is amazing that we have been called to live holy and blameless lives. because that is why Jesus died. secondly Hebrews 10:10 states that   "And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all".

5.Christ lives in us to make us Righteous. 2nd Corinthians 5:21 states that  "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God". the Righteousness we have is not our own but rather has been given to us through Jesus's death at the cross.
  

6. Christ lives in us to make us heirs of God. Romans 8:17 states that; 
"Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory". secondly we are  blessed by every spiritual blessing in Christ. scripture says in Ephesians 1:3  that  "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ".
