You Dwell In Him
For in him we live, and move, and have our being;
as certain also of your own poets have said, For we
are also his offspring (Acts 17:28).
When you were born again, you were born
into the environment called “Christ”; you
dwell in Him. The Bible says, “…if any man be in
Christ...” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Christ is a place, and
He’s also a person. He’s your home. In Him, you’re
at rest and at peace! You’re safe, secure, and fulfilled;
your joy and satisfaction overflow. What a place to
be!
Ephesians 2:6 tells us that God has made us sit
together in heavenly places, “in Christ”; that’s your
environment; an environment of glory. It brings to mind
the account of the Israelites, as they journeyed in the
wilderness for forty years. The heat didn’t scorch them
by day, neither did they freeze to death in the biting
cold at night, because they were in the glory cloud.
Exodus 13:21-22 says, “...the LORD went before them
by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way;
and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to
go by day and night: He took not away the pillar of
the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from
before the people.”
The Holy Spirit made this possible for them, and
He does the same for us today. You were born into
God’s spiritual cloud when you were born again; you
were immersed into Christ; you live there now. Your
life is hid with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3). Christ
is your security, your defence, and your fortress. It
makes no difference who or what may come against
you, refuse to fear. You dwell in the secret place of
the Most High, where you’re untouchable. No evil
can befall you!
Psalm 91:7 says, “A thousand shall fall at thy
side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall
not come nigh thee.” You’re divinely protected and
preserved from trouble, defeat, failure, and death,
because you’re in Him. “Thou shalt not be afraid for
the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by
day” (Psalm 91:5).
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for bringing me into the environment
of glory and success in Christ!
I’m at home in Him; He’s my wisdom, righteousness and
strength! He’s my life; in Him I live, and move and have my
being. Hallelujah!
