What a position to be in!!!

I marvel at the position that God has placed us in as His children. Paul states this position in Colossians 3:1-4, when he writes that we are "in" Christ. My God, what an awe-inspiring thought...I am in Christ Jesus. I died with Him (the old me that is -- Romans 6:6), I was buried with Him (Romans 6:4), and when He arose, I arose to new life in Him (Romans 6:11). As Christ said, "Because I live, you shall live also (John 14:19)." Jesus said it so clearly in John 17:3: "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent (NASB)." My strength to live this Christian life comes from the fact that it is not me, but the Spirit of Christ within me. I am in Christ, He should be living through me and this is possible only as I keep my faith in Him and what He has done for me on the cross. Through this, we are made more than conquerors because of Jesus Christ. As Ravi Zacharias stated: "Jesus did not come to make bad men good, but He came to make dead men live."
