REALLY BIG 2-LETTER WORDS


[IN]

This may be the most significant word in the entire Word of God. : You are IN Christ, and Christ is in You. It is something that God does when you accept Christ as your Savior, and your entire eternal destiny and time on earth....depend on it. That is the message of the Gospel; that God loved us, and died to pay our penalty for sin, so that He could take us OUT of darkness and death, and put us IN Christ. There is no better or more significant news than that! Its not just life changing, but eternity-changing!

[NO] 

If Jan had said "No" when I asked her to marry me, it would have made a totally enormous difference in my whole world, and future. 

If "No" is the answer when I ask, "Will my child recover?." Or a prisoner asks, "Am I free to go now?" Or how about, "Did you pick up my mother?" Or when God asks, "Are you ...in Christ?" Just think of what that little word "No" would mean here!

To be IN CHRIST means that you are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, forgiven of all your sins, no condemnation, adopted into God's family, loved, accepted, complete, righteous, with access to the wisdom and guidance, and protection of God continuously. It means that you have [right now] everything you will ever need for life and godliness

That's a big "IN."
