In Him

• In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:4-5)

• For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:9-10).

• I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me… the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing (John 15:5).

• For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring ( Act 17:28).

“In Him…In Me…In Whom” are some of the fascinating phrases in scriptures that powerfully describe who we are as believers.

Our identity as believers is in Christ. This is not another psychology or self help theory. Psychology and Self help attempts to deal with the soul—our minds and emotion—but in Christ, the target is our spirit—which is described by Paul as the inner man (the hidden man)—the real us.

We are nothing—absolutely nothing outside of Christ. Our education, our careers, our family backgrounds, our achievements and medals if any are all “sinking sand” without Christ. He clearly and emphatically stated it: “… without me ye can do nothing.”

In Christ our body, soul and spirit are all anchored from the storms of life. We are unmovable, unshakable and grounded in His everlasting love.

We are in for great exploits if we settle our identity with Christ and walk in it.
