AS CHRIST IS, SO ARE YOU

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17 (KJV)

Beloved, as Christ is, so are you. The measure of Christ’s acceptance with God is the measure of your acceptance. What Jesus is before God is who you are before Him. You are well. You are rich. You are at rest. You are full of power. You are successful. You must believe it. Believe that the perfection, the delight, and the joy that Jesus brings to the Father is now imputed to you. It has been put on your account. Christ and you are one. You must accept this truth. 

The Book of John 15:9 says, “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you…” (KJV). The same measure of love is what God has towards you. Continue well in His love. The irrevocable, irreversible, unconditional, blood-bought, iron-clad, extravagant, and excessive love of God for you does not change. 

 The Book of John 17:18 says, “As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.” (KJV). The same way God sent Jesus is the way He has sent us to the world. The same scripture goes further to say: “And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe…that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one;…” John 17:19-23 (KJV). 

 The glory which the Father gave to Him, He gave to us. Not that He will give to us, but that He has given us. You carry glory. When you accept who He has made you, you become so powerful.
