The Present Truth: Christ In You
For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth
1Corithians 13.8
"The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is."
- Winston Churchill
"The truth, according to Winston Churchill, is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.1 It takes the truth to experience a real triumph. To establish this fact, Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith says, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8.32). What an insight! The first century apostle, Bro Paul, in his word excitedly testified to the efficacy of the truth everywhere he went. “Now thanks be unto God which always causeth us to triumph, making manifest the savour of His know in every place”, He said (2 Cor 2.14). You either stand with the truth, or be stranded without it.
During His passionate intercession for His disciple, Jesus revealed that the revelation of God’s word is the truth. “Sanctify them by your word, your word is truth” -John 17.17. Truth as we know is dynamic because revelation of God’s word is progressive. God once told Moses, “I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them” Exo 6.3
Against this backdrop, the then current revelation of JEHOVAH became the national name of the God of Israel until Christ was revealed in these last days for the world to embrace. Remember, all the fullness of Godhead is now contained in Christ Jesus and Christ is in you. This is the current reality!
“Even the mystery which hath been hidden from the ages and from generation, but now is made manifest to the saints. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentle, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” - Col 1.27
Peter in the Holy Ghost talked about being established in the present truth (2Pet 1.12). Thus, the present truth as unveiled by redemption is, Christ in you, the hope of glory. You carry Christ -the power and the wisdom of God everywhere you go. This is one spiritual fact no believer must let go. Who you are or how you feel does not matter, your unflinching faith in the reality of Christ in you is your wining edge as a saint.
Don’t let traditions become rules and debunk Christ Jesus! Why live under the obscurity of a shadow when the real thing is present?
Always remember the present truth; Christ in you, the hope of glory. Shalom
