Being found in Christ is more than having Christ in you, its you being found in Him.
2 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
At the point of our salvation we are filled with the Spirit of God. The Lord doesn’t give part of Himself; He gave us His all. We have the God of Heaven, the Creator of the Universe, The Saviour- Jesus Christ living in us. We got all of Him!
So, what does the Scripture mean when it says for us to, “Be filled with the Holy Spirit?” Being filled with the Spirit has to do with us yielding our life over to God. It is surrendering our will to His will. It is us being in His Word, in His Work, in His Way, in His Will. It’s us, dying to self-daily in order for Him to get the honor and glory from our lives.
Child of God, why do we yield back parts of our life from God? I know the answer, sin. We want our will to be done. We want our way. We are holding onto the “old things” as if they are some great treasure but hindering our walk with Christ. Get rid of those “old things” and watch Jesus work in your life! Before you know it you will be working through Him!
