Seated in Christ
Michael Edwards
The work finished, our debt paid in full, Jesus sat down at the Father's right hand. Crowned with honor and glory, waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool.
But He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. Heb 10: 12-14 NAS
As Jesus is, so are we in this world.
We are at the Father's right hand too, seated in Jesus, the place of victory, light burden, peace, and rest as promised.
And raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, Eph 2:6 NAS
In Christ, we are highly favored, righteous, sanctified, holy, and perfected.
Fighting from victory, not for victory, we renew our mind with God's eternal truths, walking by faith and not sight.
For we walk by faith, not by sight 2 Cor 5:7 NAS
Only Satan wants us to doubt our complete victory, always tempting us to walk in the flesh by sight, doubting, distracted, bothered, fearful, and worried about many things.
She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord's feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me." But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her." Luke 10: 39-42 NAS
The one thing necessary is to hear and believe, to elevate our faith in God's promises over what we see.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Cor 4:18 NIV
Father, I believe I am seated in Christ, resting in His eternal victory! I am loved, forgiven, righteous, sanctified, perfected, and highly favored at Your right hand. Thank You.
