“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” Colossians 1:27(NKJV).
If you are a Christian, all of God dwells in you. When Christ lives in you, He brings every divine resource with Him. Every time you face a need, you meet it with the presence of the risen Lord inhabiting you. When you become involved in His work, He enables you to carry out that assignment. The Christian life is about more than just learning about God; it’s allowing Him total access to your life so that He can live His life through you. It’s at that point that not only you but also others will see the difference the presence of Christ has made in your life.
I believe that God wants to reveal Himself to those around us by working through us. He wants family, friends, and business associates to see Christ in you each day, regardless of what confronts you that day. God wants to express His love through your life. Don’t just know about God but allow Christ to live through you. Romans 11:8 says, “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ form the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you .” Notice those words “through His Spirit who dwells in you.” God is in you; allow Him to now live His life through you.
