Who you are in Christ.#24

This is a beautiful picture for the follower of Jesus:

Colossians 3:3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Why is beautiful? Well when we are in our sin we are on a one way path to hell. When we become followers of Jesus we are covered by his shed blood and thus God no longer sees our sin. So we are hidden in Christ! Praise our Lord Jesus.

We can also look at this verse another way. Since we have died to our old way of life and now live a life pleasing to God it means our life is so much in Christ that God won’t be able to tell the difference! WHOA! Think about that! We won’t reach that to perfection on this side of heaven but we are striving every second of every day to do so!

So this day we see we are hidden with Christ in God! That is who we are in Jesus!
