Today's reading: Numbers 10:18-36

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2 Corinthians 5:17-18

"In Christ". How significant this short expression is! It reveals concisely the believer's wonderful position before God. God regards all who have taken refuge in the Lord Jesus Christ with their sins, putting their faith in Him as "in Christ". He sees them in His estimation of the preciousness of Christ.
The position into which believers have been brought through the grace of God on the ground of Jesus Christ's work of redemption is indeed wonderful and perfect. When God looks upon one of His children, He sees Christ, as it were: we are wholly in Him.
Nothing can be added to the perfection of this position of the believer; nor is there any distinction in it among believers: all are "complete in him" . This is exceedingly great. How it should spur us on to see that our walk in this world corresponds to this position in practice! In this way, we shall glorify our beloved Lord.
Knowing this glorious position gives the faithful Christian great joy and spiritual profit. He is given strength to serve the Lord devotedly. If our faithfulness diminishes, our hearts will grow cold; then it can easily happen that we "boast in appearance and not in heart" (v.12) regarding our position. The grace that brought this privilege about is disregarded and we lose much blessing as a result. For this reason, the reminder that "all things are of God" in our text for today is so important.

Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
(2 Peter 3:18)

God in His grace has centered every blessing for us in Christ. Without Christ, we have nothing, nothing but our sins; with Christ we have all things, and therefore want nothing in addition to Christ. As...More

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More
