Learn How to Sit? Believe that You are Seated!

"And [God] hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:" (Ephesians 2: 6)

"Has raised us" "made us sit" -- we are already seated in Christ!

Yet the teaching even among grace preachers and teachers is that we must "learn how to sit.

In truth, we are called to renew our minds (Romans 12: 2) to the truth that we are already seated in Christ.

"And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God." (John 6: 69)

and

"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." (1 John 4: 16)

What is the grand implication of this love in our lives?:

"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world." (1 John 4: 17)

The more we understand how perfect and perfected God's love is for us, then the more we shall understand that we are on this earth as Christ is in heaven: seated in consummate victory.

Are there any troubles or challenges in your life? This is what God the Father told His Son, and all of us with Him:

"The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." (Psalm 110: 1)

We know that Jesus has sat down already:

"But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God." (Hebrews 10: 12)

Guess what: so have you! Rejoice in Him, walking by faith that in Christ you have more than the victory (Romans 8: 37)
