Let’s Talk About YOU

Dearly beloved, I have heard so much about you. I heard that you are God’s masterpiece created in Christ Jesus. You received the promise of the Father and were baptized with the gift of the holy spirit; you have power from on high. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. You have the spirit of Him that raised Christ from the dead dwelling in you. You are God’s habitation, His dwelling place.

You were conformed to the image of His Son (spirit); he is the firstborn and you are one of his many brethren. His spirit witnesses to your inner being that you are a child of the Living God; He is your Father! You are a new man in Christ and have access to your Father by the spirit of sonship.

You were freely justified by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Your sins were remitted, forgiven by the riches of His grace. You have access into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Now grace reigns in your life through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. There is therefore now no condemnation because you are in Christ Jesus and nothing can or will ever separate you from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. You are more than a conqueror through him that loves you!

I heard that God called you by His Word, the gospel of the grace of God, to the obtaining of the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ! Since you suffer with him, you will also be glorified together with Christ, and your present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in you! When Christ appears, you will be glorified together with him! He will transform your mortal body to be fashioned like his glorious body.

You will hear the trumpet, you will hear his call, see the glory of the Lord, and be transformed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the spirit of the Lord. Whether you are living, or you have fallen asleep, you will hear his voice and respond to his command. You will be caught up together with the rest of your brethren in the clouds and you will meet the Lord in the air, and so will you ever be with and like the Lord; you have the comfort and certainty of His Word on it, beloved!

You have been spared from the wrath to come, and you will obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we will live together with him. You have peace with God, not wrath, beloved. Until then, you can be confident that He that began a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. He is faithful that called you and He will bring it to its fulfillment as He has promised, beloved!

There is not enough time or space here to describe how special you are to our Father and to His wonderful Son, our Lord Christ Jesus. You are the Father’s love child; I've heard that you are the object of His affection, the apple of His eye, His dearly beloved.

Your Father raised you up together and made you to sit together in the heavenly realm in Christ Jesus. You are seated before Him as holy and without blame and you are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm in Christ Jesus! It will take Him the ages to come to demonstrate the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness to you in Christ Jesus.

It in Christ in you the hope of glory! Oh beloved, I’ve heard so much about you!

I've only heard good things about you from Him, dearly beloved. I wouldn't waste my time listening to what anyone else has to say. He is the only One I'd listen to. See yourself as your Father and the Lord see you.

Did I mention He cares for you; hears your prayers, and is faithful to give you the petitions you desire of Him? Whatever you need, talk it over with Him! You might remind yourself of who He says you are in Christ when you do.
