We can't do this alone

There is a nice little post over at A Place For the God-Hungry about what we have as Christians. Here is the summary at the end:

• Christ in you means that you can rest in his completed work. It's not up to you.

• Christ in you means you are wealthy. Forget the lottery! Fourteen million in the Lotto Texas jackpot this week? It doesn't even begin to compare to what you already have in Christ.

• Christ in you means you can rest in his grace. You don’t have to worry about what will happen with your future. The pressure is off.

• Christ in you means you no longer have to settle for the leftovers of life. You can experience God’s best, which is Jesus himself.

• Christ in you means you have access to the very life of God. No one can take that away from you.

• Christ in you means you can come to the end of this life and live in the presence of God forever.

I find this knowledge to be very freeing. I don't have to know everything, do everything, He has already done it. I just have to accept and obey—and even that obedience is a result of His free grace poured out on me!
