Topic : Living In Union With Christ.

Memory Verse :‭James 4:5.
Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? (NIV)

Ephesians 2:5-7 GNB. Key Verse : v6.

that while we were spiritually dead in our disobedience he brought us to life with Christ. It is by God’s grace that you have been saved. In our union with Christ Jesus he raised us up with him to rule with him in the heavenly world. He did this to demonstrate for all time to come the extraordinary greatness of his grace in the love he showed us in Christ Jesus.

Christianity is a life of spiritual separation made possible by the work of the cross. On the cross, Jesus paid fully for our sins with his blood, so that can be released from the camp of the enemy who takes men captive using sin as a bait. After Jesus secured our release from the camp of the devil by his shed blood, he put his Spirit in us to help us carry his presence anywhere we go the rest of our lives. His Spirit living in us now helps us to live victorious when we follow his leading daily. “Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,. To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” Galatians 4:3-6 KJV.

The implication of what Christ did for us is that we have become one with him in the spirit. We have become his look like as members of the family or household of God. What Jesus did can be compared to marriage in the natural world. In a marriage, two different people from two different backgrounds and orientation (sometimes) comes together under the umbrella of marriage and becomes one in everything they do. Being with Christ therefore is a life of partnership with God in order to execute his will on earth and not our personal plans. The primary purpose of this heavenly union is that we as believers in Christ and his purpose on earth makes ourselves available to him as channels through which he can now bring to pass those things he intends to do in on earth among men. “At all times we carry in our mortal bodies the death of Jesus, so that his life also may be seen in our bodies. Throughout our lives we are always in danger of death for Jesus’ sake, in order that his life may be seen in this mortal body of ours.!This means that death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12.

This union or partnership with the master and saviour grants us access to certain benefits, rights and privileges that makes our lives beautiful. One of benefits of partnering or living in union with the almighty is that his presence in our lives works to preserves us from the onslaught of the evil one, when we live by his instructions. Again his Spirit living in us grants us access to deep truths in the spirit realm. By the help of the Spirit working in us, divine wisdom is always made available to us that gives us an edge over ordinary people in everything we do just like Daniel in Babylon. On another important note, as members of God’s family through this union, all the blessings of God that that available with as creator becomes our portion to take advantage of and have a good earthly life in victory all our days. “Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! For in our union with Christ he has blessed us by giving us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly world. Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be his through our union with Christ, so that we would be holy and without fault before him. Because of his love” Ephesians 1:3-4.

Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus for the price you paid with your blood to redeem me. Thank you for giving me your Spirit to live by and bringing me into a life of union with you. Thank you for all the benefits I enjoy in you in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
