5 Grace Benefits Of Being In Christ
The New Covenant is centered on the reality of being in Christ and having Christ in you. The pinnacle of the good news is that it is centered on the reality of Christ in us as our source of eternal life. There are many benefits; in fact, they are all amazingly wonderful to consider. Here are five primary benefits of grace to think about.
Faith & Love
2 Timothy 1:13 Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
Hope of Glory
Colossians 1:27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Being a Son
Galatians 3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Being One With All Who Are In Christ
Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Possessing Wisdom, Righteousness & Sanctification
1Corinthians 1:30 But of Him (God) you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—
So consider again:
1)You have received faith and love in Christ
2)You have the hope of glory in Christ
3)You are a son of God in Christ
4)You are one with all who are in Christ
5)You have wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption in Christ
Five is the number for grace. This is the grace you have received from Him! It is yours to walk in freely and fully. It is yours to rejoice over and be thankful for. It is not based on what you do. It is based on Who He placed you in.
Colossians 3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
