Marvelous mystery


Marvelous mystery

Col. 1:27

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the GLORY OF THIS MYSTERY among the Gentiles; [the crowning wonder that Gentiles (those who were not born a Jew) were included in God’s redemptive grace though Christ]

[THIS MYSTERY] .  .  which is CHRIST IN YOU, [that we not only recognize God as omnipresent, as the Creator of all things, in whom all live, move, and have their being -  but that God has revealed Himself to us, in a way of special grace, that His Spirit inhabits believers and communes with them]

the Hope of glory. [CHRIST IN US is the ground and foundation of our hope for this life and eternity]
-----------------------
Pray the Word:
Lord, when we comprehend that it isn't our own hard work or devotion to You, or the power of our own spirituality, but, instead, the personal experience and presence of You, the Lord God Almighty, through CHRIST IN US - leading and guiding us through this life and into the next life  .  .  .  we stand in awestruck honor at such a MARVELOUS MYSTERY that has restored us and set us free to live life to our fullest.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
