0087. A Life Hid with Christ in God

A Life Hid with Christ in God

"For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God" (Col_3:3).

This is a step in advance. We have an imperishable life because we have a life that is secured by the Lord Jesus Christ. Until Satan has been able to break through the life of Christ and to overthrow the power of the Almighty God, he cannot in any way, succeed in touching the life of the believer.

Jesus Christ said in Joh_14:19 : "Because I live, ye shall live also". Christ thus insures the believer’s life by His own.

Paul, in the full assurance of faith, said: "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day" (2Ti_1:12). Let us trust Him, for our security is in Him.

"We have a firm foundation, whose hope is in the Lord;

We have a blessed haven, who anchor in His Word;

Though surges break around us, and clouds our sky may dim,

He will not leave to perish one soul that clings to Him.

"Give praise to our Redeemer, oh, magnify His grace;

Our everlasting portion, our sure abiding-place.

"We have a strong Deliverer, who trust His mighty arm;

Not all the hosts of darkness His chosen ones can harm;

His arm that brought salvation defends them from above;

They rest within His mercy, o’ershadowed by His love."
