Good morning beloved saints! It is a new day once we realize that our Father measures everything, from our calling to our glorification, by His Son’s accomplishments, not ours. Our Father sees us in Christ, not in Adam. From the beginning to the end, our Father sees us in Christ. Is this how you picture yourself? God raised His Son from the dead, and He made him to sit at His right hand in the heavenlies. God also raised us up and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. As members of the body of Christ, we have quite a privileged position do we not? How did He forgive us our sins? His Son spilled his blood, not us. In Christ, we have redemption and forgiveness of sins. Ephesians 1 reveals that it was, “according to the riches of His grace”, “wherein He hath abounded to us.” He abounded forgiveness to us. It was over and above what we could have asked or thought. Our sins are lost in His forgetfulness. It was not by our confessions of sin but by the riches of His Divine favor that He abounded this redemption and forgiveness to us. We should measure everything in Christianity as God does. He measures it all by His Son’s perfection, not ours’. If we are to please our Father, our eyes must be open to who we are in Christ, not to who we were in the flesh. The old man was crucified with Christ, new things have come! We must see ourselves as God sees us...in Christ. Only then can we fulfill His Divine purpose for us. He desires that, “we should be unto the praise of His glory”. We can only fulfill this desire if we believe who we are in Christ. This is even true in our walks. We do not work to speak in tongues, to get revelation, to perform gifts of healings, or to perform miracles. We receive these manifestations of the spirit by the grace of God. Our ability to perform these wonderful manifestations of the spirit is not dependent on our fleshly ability but by Christ’s ability in us. It is not a question of whether we are able or not, but is he able. All we do is receive them into manifestation so that we carry out the will of our Father. It would be preposterous to think that we could perform signs, miracles, and wonders if he was not able. All that we are is in him and he is in us by the spirit. We must learn to see things as God sees them. It IS Christ in you. You ARE able! You ARE as he is! You ARE complete in him who is the head of all principality and power. It is a new day, beloved; you are in Christ and he is in you. His great grace is sufficient for you today, beloved!
