Ephesians 3:17 NKJV
“that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,”
Ephesians 3:17 NKJV
It takes faith to believe the amazing things Christ has done for us. It is too good to be true, yet it is and that is why it is called the good news.
Allowing Christ to dwell in our lives means that we are accepting the work Jesus did for us and taking on the new nature that is in Christ.
God gave us this life because He loves us and not because we earned it.
When we understand His love for us and what that means, it will open our eyes to the amazing things Christ has established in us.
We will be able to see through His eyes the amazing life that we have in Christ.
The faith that Paul talked about is not faith in ourselves or in the things we can do to attain but faith in what Christ has done.
Living life through Christ, our Lord has enable us to grow into the fullness of God, into everything that Christ had prepared for us.
How we see ourselves is very important. If we see ourselves as a person not complete in Christ, or just a human, just a man and with limitations, then that is what we will have in our life.
But if we see ourselves through Jesus and His love for us, then we will be partakers of the Divine nature and see Divine results.
Therefore, let us believe.
Let us stand in His love, and live the life God had prepared for us.
Let us work out all that Christ has given. Practice them everyday until all that is established in our spirit began to rule over our soul and body.
Blessings
