In Christ

1 Kings 17-19; Colossians 2

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness…For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.”

Colossians 2:6, 7, 9, 10

Receiving Christ Jesus as Lord of our lives at conversion changes everything in our lives. Receiving Christ Jesus as our personal Savior at conversion only changes a few things in our lives. When Jesus is clearly understood as our life, we live in him and are rooted in him each morning when we awaken. We find our strength in Christ and we process all of our questions and challenges with Christ through the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus Christ is over every earthly and heavenly power and authority. Knowing this means we live with great boldness and freedom if we belong to Christ and serve as his ambassadors. There is no better way to live than in Christ!

“Lord Jesus, you are my life and sufficiency this day. I am thankful for all you’ve done and will do, for your glory.”
