“If any man be in Christ he is a new creation…” (II Cor. 5:17).

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus…” (Eph. 2:10).

“And ye are complete in Him…” (Col. 2:10).

“In Christ!” What a glorious truth! IN Christ God calls us holy and blameless (Eph 1:3-4). What a high and holy position! This is achieved without religious works, religious ceremony, neither circumcision nor baptism. Ye we stand spiritually complete “in Christ.” God only asks that we come to know and grow in trusting Him to guide our lives… from within us.

Many Christians are satisfied with salvation through the blood of Christ, but God wants us to have much more than this. He wants us to have “the full assurance of understanding” (Col. 2:2), to know the security, the blessedness, the glory of a position in Christ. He wants us to know “the exceeding riches of His grace” (Eph. 2:7), and to enjoy “all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” (Eph. 1:3).

This is the grace of Paul’s “gospel of the grace of God” (Act 20:24). God want all men to know and receive the good news of His ‘grace gospel.’

But Satan does not want any man to know of it!

The Apostle Paul was bitterly opposed on every hand for proclaiming these glorious truths, even by some ‘saved’ religious leaders of his day.

And Satan has not changed!

Proclaim this message today and “your adversary the devil” will soon be roused to action. He hates this message of grace which the glorified Lord revealed through Paul (Eph. 3:1-3) Let’s not be asleep to the fact that, as in Paul’s day, Satan will again seek to use even saved religious leaders, even evangelical “big guns,” if he can, by super-imposing religion and legalism for men’s salvation. They rob Christ of His glory and believers of their blessings received by God’s grace through their faith alone.
