Does Christ truly live in you? In the days ahead this will be tested, and if He does live in you this will give you assurance in the coming days. So what will you do when war, disaster, and disease come? What will you do when you are given a choice to either deny Christ or die, or watch your children die?
Then who is Christ? He is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and His supremacy reigns over all creation. He created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see. He holds all creation together. Not only this, but He has paid a full ransom for His children when He canceled the record of charges against them by nailing it to the cross. Everything He does reveals His glory and majesty, and His righteousness never fails. His word is trustworthy. What a holy, awe-inspiring Name He has!
So let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth, and you will overflow with thankfulness. You will not fear bad news, because you confidently trust Him to care for you and your family. You will become confident and fearless and can face your foes triumphantly. You will have influence and honor.
The wicked will see this and be infuriated. They will grind their teeth in anger because their hope that you could and would deny Christ – is thwarted.
Therefore, praise the LORD GOD forever, and remember that His arm has not lost its power to care for you and your family in the days ahead.
