In Jesus We Have Treasures ~
Introduction ~ In
this series we look at a few of the verses which state what we have when we are
“in Christ.” Consider our series theme
verse:
“God,
who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even
when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by
grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together
in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He
might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in
Christ Jesus. For by grace you have
been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
not of works, lest anyone should boast. For
we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which
God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:4-10).
Scripture ~ “That
their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to
all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the
mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the
treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:2-3).
Comment ~ Meaningful life begins with becoming a
believer in Jesus Christ and in following Him.
Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have
it more abundantly” (John 10:10b).
