Secure Position

[Ross]

G'day All;
The security of our position "In Christ".
From this position there is the change of perspective which influences as well as implements the total character of our being.
Christ demonstrating this in His time on earth.
We all know how He lived and was behaving amongst the people.
Considering the authority of Christ, He did not go around wiping out people or slamming them in gaol[jail].
He had enough power to destroy, heal, command everything- yet He did not just randomly behave- He was specific for the true cause- us.

1 Cor 4;20 " For the kingdom of God is not of talk, but of power."

Christ did indeed just "Do" stuff as that demonstration.
We will be like Christ in every regard.

1 Cor 6;3 " Do you not know that we will judge angels, not to mention everyday affairs?"

No wonder we had to learn the laws and their actual usage/application. Judges are well trained and know the completeness of correct behaviour.

1 Cor 4;5 " So then stop passing judgment on anything before the time, before the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of the darkness and will disclose the motives of the heart."

Pretty specific statement.
Comprehending this then seems to develop that change in every regard as we grow in that awesome grace and knowledge instituted by our Loving Father through our glorious saviour, Christ.

2 Cor 1;12 " For our confidence is this, the testimony of our conscience, that with simplicity and sincerity like that of God, and not with earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, we conducted ourselves in the world and all the more toward you."

Prime examples of freedom In Christ.

Watching the behaviour of the kids when growing up definitely made me appreciate the way we go through stuff to grow.
We are to come to Him as children.

Being In Christ is like being planted in the good ground that really fruits/crops 100 fold.

2 Cor 3;11 " For if what was fading away came with glory, how much more will that which is permanent be filled with glory."

The reference to being changed from glory to glory is great to open the heart to the incredible things to come surpassing the present state of being- all of this with the security of being literally "In Christ" what a gloriously secure position in preparation for those changes about to come.

What a glorious Father and awesome plan.

Happy New Year folks.
The coming of Christ gets continuously more exciting day by day.

"Beloved, now we are children of God;
and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be,
but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him,
for we shall see Him as He is." ..."God is love."
both of these, of course by John..

"Jesus the express image of His person"
.. Jesus' "rod of iron"? truth? you cannot break truth..
                                                 ...and mercy trumps judgment..

..just some random thoughts.. :Peace2:
