In Colossians 2:6 "Paul says just as you received Christ so walk in Him. Or the NIV says just as you received Christ, "live in Him"!
We all want to feel connected and in total harmony. There is
nothing better that when we are in tune and everything is right. Sometimes it
is our employment, that feeling of having a great day at work, when we achieve
every thing we set out to do. Sometimes it is at home, when the kids are just
compliant and there is no stress at home. Sometimes it is taking the time out,
sitting on a park bench, connecting with nature and soaking in the
surroundings. For all of us there are moments and instances when things just
all make sense.
The Gospel is about being connected; it is about being in
total, fulfilled harmony with God. It is about having right standing with God
and that is what righteousness is it is that every second of every moment of
every day we are wonderfully right with God.
Through the grace of God we are safe, secure, assured and
confident with God and God wants us to be grounded and rooted in the grace of
God.
Just as we received Christ through grace we walk in Christ
through grace.
God desires to establish us deeper and deeper in the
revelation of the free gift given to us of His righteousness so that we
identify with Him in every area of our lives and we see that ever increasing
fruit results from resting in the free gift of his righteousness.
Don’t go back under the law trying to be right with God
through your actions or your obedience. The deception is that once we received
Christ by grace, we have to maintain our relationship by effort. No, you
received Christ by grace through faith, God declared you righteous as a free
gift by grace. So just as you received Christ so walk in Him and live in Him.
We reign in life because we have been united with Christ by
grace.
We are constantly righteous and holy there is nothing that
can separate us from the love of God.
We merit all the blessings that Jesus merits because we are
a joint heir with Christ and an heir of God. Therefore we are always the
righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
