THE MOST GLORIOUS RICHES
God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles
the glorious riches of this mystery,
which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Colossians 1.27
The greatest reality of all of eternity is
the glory our Creator has for us
today!
That greatest, most glorious reality is
Christ Jesus is in us--
today! Right now!
Jesus said,
"Abide in Me and I will abide in you."
Jesus said, "Come to Me...Follow Me."
He said, "Seek My Face...If you seek Him, He will be found."
We need only spend time in ASKing:
Ask--we will receive.
Seek--we will find.
Knock--doors will open for us.
Seeking means the effort to set our minds on the things the Holy Spirit shows us as we search the Scriptures. "You have been raised with Christ--
set your hearts on things above
where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Set your minds on things above,
not on earthly things."
Colossians 3.1-2
And how does this happen?
"When He, the Spirit of truth, comes,
He will guide you into all truth.
He will not speak on His own;
He will speak only what He hears,
and He will tell you what is yet to come.
He will bring glory to Me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.
All that belongs to the Father is Mine.
That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is Mine and make it known to you."
John 16.16
No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived,
what God has prepared for those who love Him--
but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit...
We have the Spirit Who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us...
We have the mind of Christ.
Let this mind dwell in you which is is Christ.
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Set your mind on the things of God.
Ask in prayer.
Seek from Scripture.
Knock in obedience.
