“In Christ” is the place for security.
“Christ in us” is the basis for the fruit of the Spirit to be manifest in our live- the fruit of the Spirit is(vital redemption) love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
I found sixteen Scriptures that speak of Christ’s ministry and work in us. I will refer to you a few of them, but they are tremendous in their possibilities for the believer.
Galatians 2: 19for I through law, did die, that to God I may live (legal redemption); 20with Christ I have been crucified(legal redemption), and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live (vital-redemption) in flesh—in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me; 21I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness be through law-then Christ died in vain.
The One with whom Paul was crucified, the One who loved him and gave Himself up for him, now dwells in him.
Here is unveiled to us the most beautiful, thrilling revelation—that this Christ, who loved us and gave Himself for us, has come into our spirit and made it His home!
There is a commandment as well as a promise in this Scripture:
1 Corinthians 6: 19 Or do you not know that your body is (vital redemption) the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and YOU ARE (vital redemption) NOT YOUR OWN? 20 FOR YOU WERE BOUGHT (Legal redemption) AT A PRICE; therefore, glorify (commandment) God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Notice that we are to glorify God in our spirit. This means always keeping our spirit right. https://glorytogodministries.site/blog/a-right-spirit-2/
If we do not glorify God in our body this opens the door for the devil to cause sickness and disease.
This verse of scripture indicates that when we were born into this world, we became a soul. It does not say we are a spirit and have a soul and live in a body which is a false doctrine.
Our will is a function of our soul, and we must use it to keep a right spirit, continually filled with the spirit, to bring our body under subject, to glorify God in our body.
These mortal bodies of ours that have been sin-touched and disease-stricken are The Holy Spirit’s home, His place of abode. He lives in these bodies now.
Who can fathom what that means?
The same power that worked in the dead body of Jesus raising it from the dead is resident in us.
Ephesians 1: 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places.
Speaking by the Spirit, Paul said, “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13).
God is at work in your spirit, soul and body.
When we offer our body to God as a living sacrifice, disease has lost its power and its place in our life.
Disease cannot do much when you have surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus over you and are aware of his manifest presence and are actually conscious of the indwelling presence.
1 John 4: 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
The great, mighty Omnipotent Creator, who was the instrument in Creating the heavens and the earth when YHVH spoke, dwells in these bodies of ours.
You see, when God comes in to take possession of us, He can think through our minds, love through our affections, and will through our wills.
He can interpenetrate- to penetrate with and throughout-to permanent.
He can penetrate us thoroughly, spirit, soul and body.
He can speak through our mouth, see through our eyes, heal people through our touch, we can literally be possessed by Him.
He can be so in control of our lives that we only say what we hear him say and do what we see him doing until the meditation of our hearts will be acceptable in His sight, until we live and love and have our being in Him.
This makes us invincible!
This is why Paul said he was independent of circumstances?
Can’t you understand why the Spirit said, “All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28)? That is us, we who are in Christ.
We are more than conquerors; we are more than victors; we are more than overcomers through this marvelous, incomparable grace of God, the indwelling God of all grace.
