"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly" "Let the word of
Christ dwell in you richly"
As believers we rejoice in the fact that the Lord Jesus died
for us, but few are affected by the fact that He arose for us.
Fewer still realize that we died and arose with Him. Learn the
facts! There will be continual struggle and failure until we
gain adequate understanding of the liberating truth.
"The Lord Jesus on the Cross removed the barriers which
separated me from God - my guilt, my sin, the law; and He
dealt with my enemies - the world, the flesh, the devil. These
six things were dealt with, so that we need no longer be in
bondage through fear and that we may come boldly to the throne
of grace.
"Have we given a hearty assent to these things which the Lord
Jesus did for us? Or have we, as we read the Word, drifted by
them, taking it all for granted? Let us lay hold of that for
which God has laid hold of us. Let us gird up the loins of our
mind and consent to that which He did for us. Let us enter
into all that which being united to Christ as our Life means.
Let us rejoice in all that was accomplished for us on
Calvary." - L.L.L.
"It is necessary that the truth conferred by grace should be
known as a possession and the virtue of it apprehended, before
there can be any walk in keeping with it. For if there be
ignorance or misapprehension, the truer the conscience, the
more defective is the practice." - J.B.S.
"Set your affection on things above" (Col. 3:2)
