Christ IN

Bless Our Light, Life and LOVE.

As I was about to study or read a email came my way that said "...Brother we are His workmanship, created IN Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. ...." At that time I was just about to read that same verse and study it. So what I have gathered from my study I will share here.

The verse is--->“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” Colossians 1:27

Now to rattle some cages .... Christ is not just outside of you. He’s inside of you, and Christ is a part of everyone,  and yes, even the atheist.

Also notice how Colossians 1:27 says this mystery among Gentiles God is going to make known!

Ohhhhhhhhhh yes I know the religious lie in mainstream Christian teachings that has made salvation exclusive to those who follow a certain doctrine or rules.

Again LIES ......

I feel the problem is the misunderstanding of the words 'Jew and Gentiles.'

A “Jew” is the one who goes “within” to find the Christ and a “Gentiles” only looks at what the carnal mind teaches.

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Yes the Gentiles worry (take thought) on what the outer needs .... The one that goes inside (Jew) seeking the Kingdom of God and His RIGHT WAY WILL have the outer needs met!

Not only did the Apostle Paul teach that Christ was within everyone, but he also teaches the TRUTH that Christ is within everything!

“…[Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature…For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible…” 1 Corinthians 1:15-16

So hmmmmmmmmm Christ is within ALL of creation! Yes them that don't do the doctrine or rules of the so called Christian religion!

Let us step out in the Deep and grasp--->If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; ... Col 1:23

WHAT ..... The gospel of Paul was preached to EVERY PERSON in the knowing world!

Grasp it "...which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;"

Boy don't that sink some religious ships of lies.

Now the gospel of Paul was preached to the knowing world that the Apostle MINISTERED IN!

That gospel did not make it to much of the world for at that time travel was limited. Time we come to understand how this gospel .... This Christ is preached to ALL!

Notice AND grasp "UNDER HEAVEN"

Yes the gospel IS preached to every person (creature) under heaven because ALL creation is filled with Christ.

Let us enjoy this Deep and know Life was created by Christ and Christ is that life itself.

Ohhhhhhhhhh I tell you time to take your eyes off this one so many worship ..... The Son of man named Jesus the Christ and see that within him was the VERY WORD OF LIFE (John 1:1,14; 1 John 1:1-4)

The LOGOS, THE LIVING WORD OF LIFE ..... Not some dried out bread severed by religion .... BUT Christ who is the WAY ... the Truth and the LIFE

“In him was life; and the life was the light of men” John 1:4

Life IS Light, Light IS Life!

This verses knocked me over when I hEARd the Light--->Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. John 5:19

To see is to have an eye looking at the LIGHT. Come on now don't we grasp Jesus the Christ only did what he SAW .... NOT WHAT HE HEARD BUT SAW!

To see what the Father does is to be SINGLE EYE!

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye (eye NOT eyes) be single (NOT DOUBLE MINDED), thy whole body shall be full of light. Matt 6:22

Not doubled eye which is but one operating out of his/her carnal mind!

You see this and you will understand .... Matthew 17:14-21

“When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living father.”  —Gospel of Thomas

Why do I post that verse from the gospel of Thomas?

“…know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you… 2 Corinthians 13:15

The “know” that the Apostle Paul says here IS not head knowledge (double eyed) ... but the knowledge of knowing that Christ is OUR Life and is IN EVERYTHING!

It is to KNOW the Truth and that Truth is NOT what religion teaches .... It is the Truth that will make you WHOLE (SAVED).

Gosh .... how many religions teach one needs to be put in water to be saved, or to say some prayer, or attend their group.

That is NOT the saved that the Apostle Paul received from the Light!

That is NOT the saved the Word of Life is!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Father let thy Light been seen--->That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. 1 John 1:1-4

YES .... The Word of Life MUST BE SEEN .... and when one sees it they will be a Light unto others so that others will SEE IT TO!

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  2 Cor 4:6

Birds can imitate what they hear as well as many so called men/women of God can preach what they hear!

When one knows this Light the Light WILL TRANSFORM them! It will make them a NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST!

Light has taught me that the meaning of “transformed” is to be CHANGED in nature. Don’t you see the Apostle Paul was going for something a little more serious than a simple belief in Jesus the Christs as the way to salvation?

To be SAVED means to be MADE WHOLE!

In Luke 17 Jesus the Christ healed 10 lepers and ONLY ONE WAS MADE WHOLE!

And he (Jesus the Christ) said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. Luke 17:19

Before I close of let me say that all of them had faith for healing and YET WHAT was the difference between the one and the other nine?  (Luke 17:15).

Give glory to the LORD your God before it is too late. Acknowledge him before he brings darkness upon you, causing you to stumble and fall on the darkening mountains. For then, when you look for light, you will find only terrible darkness and gloom. Jer 13:16

Jesus the Christ said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All." The Gospel of Thomas, Saying 2.
