Morning Moments

Many are the names by which the Life of Christ in the believer is called:

Read Jn 17:3, Act 13:48, 1 Jn 2:25; 1 Jn 5:11; 1 Jn 5:20

The above texts call it eternal life.
Jesus called it "abundant life".

Others have referred to this life in the Spirit as:
The Resurrected Life,
The Spirit Filled Life,
The Enchanted Life,
The Canaan Life,
The Life on a Higher Plain,
and many more.

Regardless of one might call this life that is ours in Christ, it is the very life of God in humanity which is not a quantity life, but a quality one.

As recipients of His Life, we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in Him. We are complete in Him, accepted of Him, and seated in heavenly places with Him.

It is nothing we did to deserve it, but we must not doubt or deny it either. It is what it is and it IS God's life in us, lived in the power of and by the presence of the Holy Spirit who has been given to us as Christ's inheritance in us. We have been uniquely design to express His life through the new nature in us, created in righteousness and true holiness. If we will but receive this truth, the Sprit within us will release the life that God has given us in Christ.

Griffith Thomas said, "The Christian life is not a difficult life, it is an impossible one for it can only be lived by Christ who lives in us." That is why Paul said, "not I, but Christ lives in me". It is not a feeling about truth but a reckoning of truth. That is how we are saved amd it is also how we are conformed to the image of God's dear Son.

Don't doubt it, JUST DO IT!

BLESSINGS!
