TOPIC: The Core Of The Christian Faith (Rhapsody of Realities 26 March 2024)
Even the mystery that hath been hidden from ages and generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: to whom God would make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:26-27).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:
In its essence, Christianity can be encapsulated in our underlined words in the opening scripture: Christ in You. The revelation that Christ resides within you forms the core of the Christian Faith.
The Lord Jesus describes this divine union and interconnectedness between God and us in His prayer to the Father in John 17:23. He said, “I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.”
It also brings to mind what Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:19: “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” Think about that: God was in Christ, and now Christ is in you; that means God is in you. This is amazing.

Furthermore, the Bible says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). The glory of God being referred to here is the presence of God. Man lived in God, in His presence; God’s presence was his light. That connection, that relationship, was the glory. Then, because of sin, man was cut off from that glory.
But today, in Christ Jesus, that glory lost in Romans 3:23 has been regained according to Colossians 1:27. The beautiful thing is, that presence is not just around you; it’s in you now. It’s not just a voice walking in the Garden as in the Book of Genesis; it is now in you.
Now we can rejoice because it’s not Christ around you, amongst you, or with you, but Christ in you! When you received Christ, the glory came into your life. Your life is severed from shame, reproach, sickness, disease, failure, and poverty because Christ is in you. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
Christ in me, the hope of glory! Therefore, glory, wholeness, health, preservation, and prosperity are guaranteed in my life because Christ has come to live in the very quarters of my heart, inundating every fiber of my being, every bone of my body, and every cell of my blood with his presence. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY:
1 Corinthians 6:19 – What? Know not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1 John 4:4 – Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than in the world.
Romans 8:10 ESV states that if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is alive because of righteousness.
