Just another mistaken identity?

We, Christians, who are called to be children of God should know our heavenly position in Christ for the bible says we are in Christ and Christ is in us. Yet, do Christians truly know their identity in Christ?

My guess is that some of us do not know our true identity in Christ in its totality, yours sincerely included. Yet, regardless of the magnitude of the revelation of Christ that we have, we are called to reign in life! It is not how much we understand the finished work at the cross by Jesus Christ or Jesus Christ as our One and Only Savior, it is all about the truth that Jesus Christ had completely finished a complete work at the cross some two thousand years ago and He is now seated at the right hand of God!

What's so significant about the finished work at the cross? It is the exhibition of God's love for His people and Jesus reconciling us to God by taking all our punishment for our sins and transgressions, past, present and future! With that finished work, we can come to Abba Father boldly at any moment when we accept the gift of salvation by Christ Jesus. We have an almighty God who will turn all things for our good.

Abba Father only has good thoughts toward us. His master plan for us is one of grandeur and only full of His Son in us. It is a master plan that is specifically tailored to each and everyone of us who are called to be His children.

And because God is in control of our lives, we don't have to live a life full of anxiety, worries, and fear. We live life one day at a time glorifying God for what He has done or is doing in our lives. When we praise and worship God, we have a big image of who God is in our lives. Don't get me wrong here, God is BIG! But when we are conscious of the presence of Jesus in our lives, He becomes big in our revelation of Him!

The more we practiced the presence of Jesus in our lives, the more sensitized we will be in the leading and guidance of Holy Spirit. The more we are led by the Holy Spirit, the more we will do things which are based on the finished work at the cross. We are literally working out of rest! And we get restful increase even though we may be working "very hard" on the outside.

When we know we are the righteousness of God in Christ, we will give thanks to God every moment of our lives. We will want to do things for His glory. We will be doing things which gentile can witness and know that there is a true God and He is with us. We are not perfect in our thoughts and behavior, but we have a perfect Savior who died for us and took our place of sin at the cross.

Live life knowing who we are in Christ. For greater is He who is in us than he who is of the world! Hallelujah!
