In this study we will be looking at who we are in Christ and our privileges as a child of the Living God.
When Jesus was baptized and came up from the water…the Father identified Him.
"This is My Beloved Son in Whom I Am well pleased."
Matt. 3:16-17 Matt. 4:1-11. What was in Christ that the enemy was attacking? Christ's identity. "If You are the Son of God." Notice the enemy never said "If You are the Beloved Son of God"…satan knows nothing about love. Jesus used the Word of God (the Sword of the Spirit) in overcoming all temptation.
For victory, through our Christian journey, it is imperative that we know who we are In Christ. This is where our life is. Col.
During a storm, our electricity was out for 24 hours. I lay in bed that night covered with four blankets, my warmest pj's…gloves on my hands…a flashlight to read. As I was laying there I thanked the Lord that I was in our house…I was hidden away from the storm…I had shelter. In every storm we are hidden in Christ. We are in His shelter. There is nothing to fear…we are "In Christ." Though the storm blow around us…we are safe…we are hidden IN CHRIST!
I love the thought of being hid in Christ in God. It gives me comfort and security. I see safety. There is an old song…
"Shut in with God in a secret place…
There in the Spirit …Beholding His face…
seeking new power to run in the race…
I long to be shut in with God."
