CHRIST In You The Hope Of Glory!
Colossians
1:27
“to them GOD willed to make known
what are The Riches of the Glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is
CHRIST in you The hope of Glory! NKJV
“to whom ELOHIM desired to make
known what are the riches of The Esteem of this secret among the nations: which
is MESSIAH in you, The expectancy of Esteem!” The Scriptures
Both a Protestant and a MESSIANIC
translation tell us that GOD has revealed to the nations of the world the
mystery that was hidden in The Torah and The Prophets: The Riches of GOD’s
Glory which is CHRIST in The Believer! What does that mean?
JESUS told us that we have to
abide in Him (John 15:1-17) if we are going to do anything in GOD’s Kingdom in
the earth (this is how we build up treasures in Heaven, Matthew 6:19-24).
JESUS told us that His Word (His
spoken and written Word) is Living (John 1:14; Hebrews 4:12-13; 2 Timothy
3:16-17); and that His Word must abide in us (John 8:28-31; 17:20-26)
John 14:15-18 JESUS said if we
keep His Commandments (spoken and written) He will give us His SPIRIT – The HOLY
SPIRIT! The SPIRIT of GOD Lives in us (1 Corinthians 3:16-17).
John 1:6-16 JESUS is The Glory of
the Father and we are The Glory of JESUS (John 14:23-24).
So The Hope of GOD’s Glory to the
nations is that GOD’s SPIRIT lives in every Believer and JESUS’ Words can live
(abide) in every Believer, so that every Believer can proclaim the Gospel (Mark
16:14-18; Romans 1:16-17) so that all the people in the world can know of GOD’s
Love and Plans for their lives (John 3:15-17; Psalm 139:15-18).
CHRIST in you The Hope of Glory is
the point of Salvation – you (we) are saved by JESUS’ Life, Death, Resurrection
and Ascension, so that His SPIRIT and Word can live in us making us Children of
GOD and Servants of His Kingdom in the earth to proclaim the Good News of GOD’s
Love and Salvation for every human being!
That is why since creation GOD has
been telling us to seek Him (Deuteronomy 4:29; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Isaiah 55:6;
Amos 5:4-6; Matthew 6:33; Colossians
3:1-2)
