TOPIC: IT IS ALL ABOUT CHRIST
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:” Ephesians 1:3 KJV
Over the years, we have put forward the righteousness of man, which God describes as filthy rags before him. Since the fall, mankind has been trying to make himself right with God, and God said, the more you try, the more you fail. You can’t make yourself right with God. It is in Christ that you are made righteous.
It is only God that can make you right. And until God makes you right, you can never attain what He has ordained for you. So, it is not about you! It is all about Jesus!
The Bible is all about Jesus from Genesis to Revelation. The entire Bible testifies of Jesus. It is not about the prophets. The prophets bore witness about Jesus. That is why when you got born again, you were put in Him.
If you want to attain success and make it in life, you must find your place in Christ. Everything is about Christ. If you must live in victory, overcome the powers of darkness and attain the destiny that He has ordained for you, it must be in Christ. There are things that God has already perfected concerning you in eternity which the devil cannot violate.
All you need to do is stay where God has put you. As long as you are in Christ, your victory is already guaranteed. There is nothing the devil brings against you that can defeat you. For satan to defeat you, he has to defeat God and defeat Christ before he gets to you. Your life is hidden with Christ in God.
So, it is not about you. It is about Christ! That is why you must stay in Him. And for you to stay in Him, He gave you His own righteousness. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed. It is a revelation from faith to faith, not from work to work, not from work to faith, and not from faith to work.
