๐ŸŒบBeloved, the impact of the spirit of the Living Christ in us; (those of us who have surrendered and submitted our lives to Jesus Christ) is immeasurable and powerful.

๐ŸŒบI submit to you that there is POWER imparted to us if we are devoted to Him and stay focused on Him.

๐ŸŒบWe must not be distracted from the faithfulness of God towards us, as we tap into the strength and power that He made available to us through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

๐Ÿ“’The primary Bible verse describing “Christ in you” is Colossians 1:27, which states:

โญ•๏ธ“To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory”.

๐Ÿ“’Colossians 1:27 AMP breaks things down furtherโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œGod [in His eternal plan] chose to make known to them how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in and among you, the hope and guarantee of [realizing the] glory.โ€

๐ŸŒบThis verse reveals that the great mystery for the Gentiles (meaning all who cares to believe) is the indwelling of Christ within them, serving as their hope of glory. This signifies that God’s glory is not just a concept but a reality present within believers.

๐ŸŒบโ€œChrist in youโ€ bring the power of transformation into a believer’s life, where our own will is submitted to Christ’s, allowing Christ to live through us.

๐Ÿ“’2 Corinthians 3:18 AMP affirms thatโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œAnd we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.โ€

๐Ÿ“’Also Galatians 2:20 AMP clarifiesโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œI have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion];

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพit is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพThe life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.โ€

๐ŸŒบWith โ€œChrist in youโ€ type of relationship with God, we develop intimacy with God through Jesus Christ as we remain in Him.

๐Ÿ“’Jesus describes the term โ€œremain in meโ€ in John 15:4-5 AMP

โญ•๏ธโ€œRemain in Me, and I [will remain] in you.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพJust as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพI am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.โ€

๐ŸŒบWhen Christ is in us, His power rests on us, especially in our weakness.

๐Ÿ“’2 Corinthians 12:9 AMP promisesโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œbut He has said to me, โ€œMy grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enoughโ€”always availableโ€”regardless of the situation];

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพfor [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพโ€ Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me.โ€

๐Ÿ“’Philippians 4:13 AMP also expresses the power we have in Christ Jesus.

โญ•๏ธโ€œI can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purposeโ€”I am self-sufficient in Christโ€™s sufficiency;

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพI am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]โ€

๐ŸŒบWhen Christ is in us we are destined to be fruitful because the Holy Spirit also lives in us.

๐ŸŒบThe Holy Spirit in us produces the fruit of the spirit in our lives.

๐Ÿ“’Galatians 5:22-24 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œBut the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is:

๐Ÿ’ฅ love [unselfish concern for others],

๐Ÿ’ฅjoy, [inner] peace,

๐Ÿ’ฅpatience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],

๐Ÿ’ฅkindness,

๐Ÿ’ฅgoodness,

๐Ÿ’ฅfaithfulness,

๐Ÿ’ฅgentleness,

๐Ÿ’ฅself-control.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพAgainst such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature together with its passions and appetites.โ€

๐Ÿ“’Also, Galatians 2:20 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œI have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพThe life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.โ€

๐Ÿ”ฅOur heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Christ in us.

๐Ÿ”ฅLord, thank You for the fellowship and intimacy that we have in with You through Jesus Christ.

๐Ÿ”ฅHoly Spirit, thank You for Your power that rest on us whenever we are weak. That in our weakness, we are strong in You.
