I am working on a number of writing and teaching projects, and I was impressed by this list of realities promised to us in one chapter of the Bible, Romans 8.  If Jesus really lives in you, then:

  • You are not condemned (Romans 8:1).
  • You are free from sin and death (Romans 8:2).
  • Your spirit is alive because of His righteousness (Romans 8:10).
  • The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is in you (Romans 8:11).
  • And He who raised Jesus from the dead will give life to your body (Romans 8:11).
  • You are God’s son (Romans 8:14).
  • You are free from the spirit of slavery (Romans 8:15).
  • You do not have to live in fear (v.15)
  • You will receive an inheritance from God (Romans 8:17).
  • You will be glorified (Romans 8:18).
  • You will experience glorious liberty (Romans 8:21).
  • Your body will be redeemed (Romans 8:23).
  • The Holy Spirit will give you help when you are weak (Romans 8:26).
  • The Holy Spirit prays to God on your behalf (Romans 8:27).
  • Everything will work out for good in your life (Romans 8:28).
  • You will begin to take on the shape of the image of Jesus (Romans 8:29).
  • God has called you (Romans 8:30).
  • God has justified you (v.30).

I have been pondering the second half of Colossians 1:27 the past few days.  Specifically, the phrase “Christ in You.”  I believe that this might be a huge truth that most of the church completely misses.  God works from the inside out, and that is the promise of the New Covenant.

If Jesus really lives in you, then . . .

  • the Word of God incarnate flows inside you.
  • the Prince of Peace is in you to bring peace.
  • the fountain of Living Water flows in you.
  • the Bread of Life is feeding you.
  • the Resurrection and the Life is in you to give you life healing and wholeness.
  • you are blessed because the Father said “this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
  • you have all authority to do what God has given you to do, because the King of Kings lives in you.
  • you are able to cast out the devil because the name of Jesus is above every other name.
  • you can be free from sin because Jesus is free from sin, and he lives in you.
  • you can love others, because God is love, and God lives in you.
  • you do not have to be beaten about by life, because greater is He that is IN you than he that is in the world.
  • everything Jesus did by becoming a man, by living a sinless life, by suffering and dying, and by rising again is available to you right now.  Paul said that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is in you, giving life to your mortal bodies.
