Vance Havner wrote: What a great day
it is when "...in Christ and...a new creature..." get translated from
theology to reality when we "are in Him...1 John 5:20!" Our little
words have a difficult time describing this relationship, even when we try to
illustrate we fall short. The phrase "in Christ" is scattered all
over the N.T. "Christ liveth in me." "Christ in you the hope of
glory." Make sure you are "inside looking out," and not
"outside looking in!"
My
prayer for you today is for you to
“altogether” in Christ, not “almost!”
Philippians
3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection,
and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
KJV
“A young woman brought her fiancée home to
meet her parents. After dinner, her mother told her father to find out about
the young man. The father invited the fiancée to his study for a talk. "So
what are your plans?" the father asked the young man. "I am a Biblical
scholar," he replies. "A Biblical scholar, Hmmm," the father
said. "Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my
daughter to live in?" "I will study," the young man replies, "and
God will provide for us." "And how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asked the father. "I will
concentrate on my studies," the young man replies, "God will provide
for us." "And children?" asked the father. "How will you
support children?" "Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies
the fiancée. The conversation proceeded like this, and each time the father
questioned, the young idealist insists that God will provide. Later, the mother
asked, "How did it go, Honey?" The father answered, "He has no
job and no plans, and he thinks I'm God."
