In Him.

No condemnation now I dread
Jesus and all in Him is mine
Alive in Him my living Head
And clothed in righteousness divine
Bold I approach th’eternal throne
And claim the crown through Christ my own

All in Him

It really revolves around this singular reality. When I find myself in Him, in Jesus, I truly find all because in Him I find everything I need and everything I have ever longed for. All in Him.

• Acceptance. In Him.
• Freedom. In Him.
• Security. In Him.
• Peace. In Him.
• All. In Him.

No condemnation now I dread
Jesus and all in Him is mine

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1 ESV

I am in Christ. I need not fear any condemnation. Might it come? Sure. May belonging to Jesus actually bring it? Absolutely. But it will not affect my eternal standing in Christ. It is truly as if there is no condemnation because being in Jesus spares me of its consequences.

His amazing love teaches me that not only is Jesus mine, but all in Him as well. And just what is in Him? Everything. There is nothing that is, that is not in Him. So I can face all things, including any condemnation, because everything I need is in Jesus, and is mine in Him.

RESONATE!
Take a few moments and reflect on what you are longing for and your deepest level. If you are able to identify the root longing you will be one step closer to realizing Jesus is it. Make this your simple prayer “Jesus, show me what is mine in You.” 

Alive in Him

Life. In Him.

Not just eternal life, but true, real life right here, right now. Eternal life includes here and now because it is eternal. Pretty simple, but this reality escapes many who are longing for more beyond what they can see and feel right now.

Jesus fills all eternity with His presence. These moments are a part of eternity. Jesus is filling them now. Find life in these moments. Rest in Jesus and the fact you are clothed in His righteousness.

Righteousness. In Him.

Alive in Him my living Head
And clothed in righteousness divine

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness…Isaiah 61:10a ESV

Even if I die, yet will I live. He has clothed me with the garments of salvation and will cover me with His righteousness. I have no righteousness on my own. It all belongs to Jesus. I give Him praise because He clothes me with it. I greatly rejoice in Him.

I was dead to sin, but now I am alive in Christ. He is my living Head, that is to say my ruler and leader, but not mine only. He is the Head of His body, the church, and the firstborn from among the dead that in all things He might be preeminent. He clothes me in His righteousness.

RESONATE!
Take a few moments and consider the life Jesus has given you access to in Him. Can you remember when you were dead in trespasses and sin? Now you are alive. Pray a simple prayer like this one, “Jesus, thank You for clothing me in righteousness.”  

Jesus, thank You for everything that is mine in You. Righteousness and life. Everything. In Jesus’ name.

Welcome to Tuesday Tunings at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s tune our hearts.

No condemnation now I dread
Jesus and all in Him is mine
Alive in Him my living Head
And clothed in righteousness divine
Bold I approach th’eternal throne
And claim the crown through Christ my own

His amazing love teaches me that not only is Jesus mine, but all in Him as well. And just what is in Him? Everything. There is nothing that is, that is not in Him. So I can face all things, including any condemnation, because everything I need is in Jesus, and is mine in Him.

Jesus, show me what is mine in You.

I was dead in sin, but now I am alive in Christ. He is my living Head, that is to say my ruler and leader, but not mine only. He is the Head of His body, the church, and the firstborn from among the dead that in all things He might be preeminent. He clothes me in His righteousness.

Jesus, thank You for clothing me in righteousness.

Clothed in His righteousness I can boldly approach His throne. It was not enough for Him to free me of condemnation and give me life, He gave me access to His very presence where I will spend the balance of eternity before the throne of my matchless King.

God, help me long to approach Your throne.

Not only will I be with Him, I will reign with Him. This is mind boggling. I believe it to be true and yet struggle to grasp the magnitude of this incredible promise. Only through Jesus is this incredible inheritance possible. Though I am not worthy, one day I will claim my crown.

Spirit, give me the faith to believe this truth.

Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has surfaced in your heart, or just listen to what He is saying to you, then we will sing once more.

Bold I approach th’eternal throne
And claim the crown through Christ my own

Take the awareness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond.  Until next time,
Be Resonant.
