Praying for Fearless Boldness: by Andrew Murray

Christ lives in you, and this is your assurance that you will share in His glory Colossians 1:27
Words from God: All this newness of life is from God, who brought us back to himself through what Christ did. And God has given us the task of reconcilingpeople to Him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting peoples sins against them. This is the wonderful message he has given us to tell others... Be reconciled to God! For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:8-12) The home and the life are to be bulit on this foundation: Christ lives in you, and this is your assurance that you will share in His glory (Colossians 1:27). Christ is our life.Until the believers were brought to understand and experience what it meant to have Christ dwelling in their hearts and revealed in their lives, Paul could not satisfied. The very center truth of his preaching to the Gentiles is to have the Spirit of Christ every day dwelling within them, controlling their whole being, and living out His life in them.The Christian life is a life in which Jesus Christ Himself absolutely and increasingly lives. Following His example is nothing but the natural outcome of His presence within. This high and holy calling  surrender to Christ and fellowship with Him needs to be total and habitual.
