Christ Gives Us All That Jesus Has


That being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:7

We are saved by our Father’s mercy. His Holy Spirit has renewed and regenerated us. God has Paul write in Romans 6 that our old self has been crucified with Christ. In Galatians Paul writes that we are crucified with Christ, yet nevertheless we live, because it is now Christ living within us. So of course we are justified, how could we be anything but justified? If we are alive and one with Christ, how could we be unjustified? Jesus isn’t unjustified, and we are now alive with Him and united with Him, so neither are we! We are filled with the fullness of God and we are abundantly supplied with and one with His Holy Spirit and that means something! These Truth’s pass all knowledge, they give us strength, ability, and they ground us and settle us. We need to share these glorious Truth’s daily, because it is the Truth that sets us all free!

Now we are not only supplied with the abundance of Christ, we are heirs with Jesus. Our Father looks at you and I and He sees us in the exact same way that He sees Jesus, which is One with Himself! How many times have we studied that our Father loves us exactly as He loves Jesus, John 17:23?

When God sent Jesus to this world, He fully equipped Him to complete the task, and He has done exactly the same thing for us. We lack absolutely nothing needed to be as Jesus is on this earth. We are heirs and that means if Jesus has it, so do we. 

Everything that the Father has is Mine. That is what I meant when I said that He [the Spirit] will take the things that are Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you. John 16:15

I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Galatians 2:20

For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:3
