Christ in You, You in
Christ
- Roy Lessin
God
alone made it possible for you to be in Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made
Christ to be wisdom itself. He is the one who made us acceptable to God. He
made us pure and holy, and He gave Himself to purchase our freedom. I Corinthians 1:30 NLT
For
it has pleased God to tell His people that the riches and glory of Christ are
for you Gentiles, too. For this is the secret: Christ lives in you, and this is
your assurance that you will share in His glory.
Colossians 1:27 NLT
Colossians 1:27 NLT
