WE BELONG TO CHRIST

1 Corinthians 3:23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

We’re so blessed to belong to Christ, to God. What a wonderful thing that is!😊

As we know Christ means Anointed One and His anointing, so we belong to the Anointed One and to His anointing. We read how our life is hidden in Christ, (Colossians 3:3) so we’re hidden in the anointing. In Ephesians 2:13 we’re told we are united with Christ, united with His anointing, that what belongs to Christ, the Anointed One, belongs to us. We’re also told we are anointed because we are united with Christ.(1 John 2:27)

We need never feel as though we’re abandoned or orphaned or all alone. We belong! We are part of God’s family. He is not only our God, He is our Heavenly Father, the One who watches over and protects us because we belong to Him.

In the account of the prodigal son on his return to his father, we read how the father gave him a new robe, a ring of authority on his finger, shoes on his feet to show his position because he was restored as his son. He was somebody, a child of his father, not one of the servants, but a son. He belonged in the family.

I hope we too have a son mentality today, a belonging to God mentality remembering He has gifted us with His robe of righteousness, given us His Holy Spirit as our seal of authority to use the name of Jesus, and put His shoes of peace with Him on our feet, reconciled to Him as sons and daughters of the Most High God.

God wants to remind us of who we are, and whose we are today so we can go out with confidence and a great sense of our identity and security because we belong to Christ, we belong to God. Praise His wonderful name. Amen.
