| BELIEVERS MADE IN CHRIST JESUS |
| There are many things the Believer is said to be "made in Christ." Sin had un-made us, but the grace of God re-makes us. Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 1) "Made Nigh" -- Nearness Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 2) "Made Righteous" -- Righteousness. 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 3) "Made White" -- Purity or Holiness. Revelation 7:14, "washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." 4) "Made Accepted" -- Favored. Ephesians 1:6, "he hath made us accepted in the beloved." The word, "accepted" only occurs in one other place in the New Testament, and that is in Luke 1:28, where it is rendered "highly favoured," or as the margin, "graciously accepted or much graced." 5) "Made Meet" -- Sufficiency. Colossians 1:12-13 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. 6) "Made Heirs" -- Heir-ship. Titus 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 7) "Made Kings and Priests" -- Nobility. Rev 1:5b- 6 Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. ©2008 Cobblestone Road Ministries All Rights Reserved ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To enter the open door in the face of Christ-- simply trusting the Work which He hath accomplished for us, to enter Heaven in the full credit of Christ Himself. It is to cross the threshold-- pass through the pearly gates, walk up the golden street, right to the Throne of God; and to stand in the pure light of that Throne in all the perfectness and acceptableness of Christ Himself. ~Selected, Sunday School Times, Jan 25, 1941. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Further Reading: Eternal Security of Believers in Christ Jesus Assurance of Salvation By J.
