There is Nothing Wrong With You -- As He is in You

"How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" (Hebrews 9: 14)

God the Father offered a perfect sacrifice for us.

His sacrifice perfected us:

"For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified." (Hebrews 10:14)

So, in Christ we are made perfect. We are not called to keep perfecting ourselves, then:

"But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen." (2 Peter 3: 18)

Paul outlined once again that we are perfect before God:

"And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

"In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:" (Colossians 1: 21-22)

There is nothing wrong with you and me as we are in Christ.

Too many of us, though, refuse to believe, and therefore we still feel plagued that we must "do something" in order to receive something.

Faith means that we know who stands in us:

"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love," (Ephesians 3: 17)

Let's stop trying to figure out what we are missing or where we have gone wrong. Let us ask God to open our eyes to all that we have, that all the blessings which we have received (Ephesians 1: 3) make take effect in our lives (Philemon 6).
