The Lord Jesus shared that we would experience difficulties in this life, but He emphatically let us know that in Him we have perfect peace and confidence. John 16:33 (AMPL) says: “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” We can take courage in Him because He overcame the world. He has deprived the enemy of the power to harm us and has conquered him. Simply put, In Him, we overcome!
In Christ, we are accepted by God the Father!
Happy Labor Day!
What a wonderful truth! God in Christ blessed us by His grace with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. It was He that chose us. He reached out to us. He loved us and revealed His love on the cross. It was He Who adopted us into His family. It was He that accepted us in the Beloved. He gave us this wonderful grace freely. Today, choose to walk in this joy and freedom. Allow His grace to free you from any emotional bondage and stress. You are a child of the King. That makes you a prince or princess. You are part of the Royal Priesthood so your provision and authority comes from above, not from this earth. Walk as a child of the King!
Ephesians 1:3 – 6 (NKJV) “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.”
Ephesians 1:6 (ERV) “And this brings praise to God because of his wonderful grace. God gave that grace to us freely. He gave us that grace in Christ, the one he loves”
