YOUR REALM AS A NEW MAN IN CHRIST (2)

“How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)” Ephesians 3:3-4

LIGHT FOR THE NOW:

 The only thing that pleases God is Christ in you.

Paul was a prisoner of Christ to the Gentiles. God revealed the mystery of Christ which is God in you reproducing Himself in the new creature. This revelation is the source of our making, and it has the power to establish us. The gospel is the gateway for your establishment. Colossians 1:26-27 says “Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory”. There is no creation that is as powerful as the mystery of God becoming man and man becoming God. Mark 4:11 says “And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables”. Until the mystery is revealed, it is of no use to you.

Until you understand your realm in Christ, you would be like a little child that carries a dollar in his hand and the next thing is to eat it. You will not understand the value of what you have. 1 Corinthians 1:30 says “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption”. Redemption means satisfying the claim of justice against you. It is by Paul that we understand what Jesus did for us in His great substitution. Isaiah 53:6 says “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all”. Christ took our place and we are now free. The only thing that pleases God is Christ in you. The perfect will of God for us is Christ, every other thing functions in our decision. It is also by Apostle Paul that we know what God did in us at new birth. John 3:6 says “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit”. So, at new birth, our nature was changed. The Adamic nature was done with, and we received the nature of God. As believers in Christ, we are kings and priests – having physical and spiritual authority. When you understand your realm, you have a good break from trouble (1 Peter 1:23, Galatians 2:19-20).
