1 Corinthians 1:30 God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. (Nlt)
That verse is amazing! God has actually united you and me, infused us into Jesus the Anointed One, the One born in a manger, the One who hung on the cross and rose to life from the tomb, the One the world had been waiting for since the garden of Eden. He has placed us IN Christ. If we've repented of our sins and asked Jesus into our lives to be our Lord and Saviour then it's absolutely true and it's wonderful.
We can know that we're deeply loved by God because we know He deeply loves Jesus and we're IN Him, actually part of Him. God wants us to see ourselves that way.
He has united us to the One who is Wisdom itself so His wisdom is available to us if we ask for it. He has united us to the One who bore all our sicknesses and diseases and carried them away at the same time He bore our sins away so we don't have to bear them. (Isaiah 53, 1 Peter 2:24). He freed us from it all.
Sometimes we forget that we're IN Jesus, don't we? We forget who we are now and to see ourselves the way God sees us. We forget when sickness hits us to remind the devil he has no right to put sickness on us because Jesus has already born it for us on the cross. We forget that goodness and mercy are following us all the days of our lives, that blessings are on the head of the righteous - that's you and me, because we're IN HIM.
So this is just a gentle reminder to remember that God has placed us IN His Son, He has united us to our most wonderful Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ, and He makes all the difference. 😊
