Having nothing and yet possessing everything ...
The Christian is a paradox. Because we have Christ, we have the unsearchable riches of Christ. Believers have full and free forgiveness of all their sins, are fully accepted in the Beloved, are clothed in Christ's spotless righteousness, are adopted into the family of God, have God for their Father, have Christ for their Savior, have the Holy Spirit for their Comforter, have heaven for their home, shall be like Christ and with Christ forever, shall inherit all things, are sure of ultimate victory over sins, the world, the flesh, the devil, all sorrow, death, and hell.
Known, yet regarded as unknown. Dying, and yet we live on. Beaten, and yet not killed. Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing. Poor, yet making many rich. Having nothing, and yet possessing everything. (2 Corinthians 6:9-10)
