“I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Cor. 15:1-4). To show us clearly who He is so that we can take confidence in the fact that He is the only way to the Father. His blood and body paid the price for me (Matt. 20:28; 1 Tim. 2:6). I am reconciled to God because the Blood of Jesus Christ has washed away my sins and the Body of Jesus Christ is what gives me life, sustains me before Him. And for this reason Holy Spirit entered me and remains in me forever; helping and empowering me to live in Christ’s authority. Is there any better news than this!

Purely to elaborate on the impact of this: I automatically please God and my sins are washed away (Rom. 5:17; 8:38-39; 10:9; John 6:28-29; Heb. 4:14-16; 8:12; 10:11-12; 11:6). I am considered by God as righteous (2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 8:12). He calls me His child, and Holy Spirit who now dwells within me reminds me of this, where I call upon God as my Heavenly Father (John 14:16, 26; Eph. 1:13; 4:30; 1 Cor. 3:17; 1 John 2:27; 4:4; Gal. 4:5-7; Rom. 8:13-15; Matt. 6:5-9; John 1:12). Holy Spirit helps me love (Rom. 5:5), teaches and comforts me in all that Jesus has given me (John 16:14-15). He has enabled me to ask my Heavenly Father anything and He answers me, maybe not the way I want but He answers (John 11:22; Matt. 7:7). Therefore I am no longer a victim of situations but am more than a conqueror (2 Cor. 1:20; Phil. 4:19; Matt. 6:33; John 15:7; Rom. 8:35-37; 1 John 3:21-23; Ps. 91); including over sickness (Mark 16:18; Matt. 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24; John 10:10).

I live with this deep inner peace that surpasses all understanding (Phil. 4:7) so that I can be an effective ambassador for the Kingdom of God, which I belong to (Phil. 3:20; Phil. 4:7; Luke 17:20-21; Rom. 12:4-9; John 15:1-10). And when I die one day or go in the rapture, I will instantly go to Heaven (2 Cor. 5:1-8; Phil. 1:23; Matt. 25:45-46; John 3:15-18,36; 5:24; 6:28-29, 35-40, 47-48; 10:28-30; 17:20-24; 1 John 2:25; 5:11-12; 1 Peter 1:3-5, 8-9; Acts 7:56-59). All because of Christ in me. “For indeed all the promises of God in Him - Yes, and in Him - Amen, unto the glory of God through us” (2 Cor. 1:20). “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us” (Eph. 3:20). “Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy” (Jude 1:24).
