(by pastor Jean)

The Bible tells us that, “In Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). Everything we have and do in this life is “in Him.” According to the apostle Paul we are blessed, “with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (Eph 1:3; MEV). This is our position and it means all of Christ’s authority, power and blessing He shares with us. It is “in Him that we have redemption through His blood and the forgiveness of sins” (Eph 1:7; MEV). It is also “in Him that we have an inheritance” (Eph 1:11) and are “sealed with the Holy Spirit” (Eph 1:13). Because we are “in Christ” we have been made “new creatures” (2 Cor 5:17) and we have also been made righteous (2 Cor 5:21). We triumph “in Christ” (2 Cor 2:14) and therefore we are, “more than conquerors” (Rom 8:37). “We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works” (Eph 2:19; MEV) and it is in Him that we have “boldness of faith” (Eph 3:12). Because we are “in Him” God can do amazing things through us (Eph 3:20). In addition to all this God has given us His name (Mark 16:17) and also His armour (Eph 6:10) to put the devil to flight when we are under attack. Make sure you know what belongs to you because you are “in Him” and then you can walk in authority and confidence as His child.
