Practical
help
In his New Testament
writings the apostle Paul makes over 170 references to
the truth of the Christian being placed in Christ.
That’s a significant number, and that’s a
very significant truth! Take a look at the
following:
|
Romans+6:11
|
Even so
consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but
alive to God in Christ Jesus.
|
|
Romans+6:23
|
For the
wages of sin is death, but the free gift
of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
|
|
Romans+8:39
|
…nor
height, nor depth, nor any other created
thing, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus
our Lord.
|
|
1+Corinthians+1:4
|
I thank my
God always concerning you, for the grace
of God which was given you in Christ
Jesus,
|
|
1+Corinthians+1:30
|
But by His
doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became
to us wisdom from God, and righteousness
and sanctification, and
redemption.
|
If you are a Christian, that
means that you are now vitally joined to the Lord
Jesus! This wonderful truth is the foundation of all
the blessings you have received as you have been
seated with Christ in the heavenly places and united
with Him (Ephesians 2:6). In Christ you are made
complete (Colossians 2:10)!
Have a great day as you walk in
Christ! Think about this: If you were to abide in Him
today, what would happen in your personal battle with
temptations to use porn?
